How Chefs Can Be Doctors, and Doctors Can Be Chefs

Many of us are in the middle of an identity crisis when it comes to what we eat. We’re pulled one way or another about macronutrients and labels, all the while missing the most important concept of all: food is medicine. We can align our foods to feed our health and get incredible flavor and variety all at once. We can cook our way out of illness and overcome the fear and overwhelm of dietary choices by getting more personal with our kitchens.

There’s no one better than the world-renowned Chef David Bouley to dive into this topic with— he’s this week’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy. Among many accolades, Bouley earned several four-star reviews in The New York Times; seven James Beard Foundation awards for best restaurant and best chef; he was named “Best Chef in America” by Herald-Tribune; he received the TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Awards “The Best Restaurant in the United States” and #14 in the world; a 29 out of 30 rating in Zagat, and ranked #1 in New York City for many years. Chef Bouley is known as one of the most health-conscious chefs in the world, with a strong focus for diners with health concerns. He is currently contracted for a new book, Living Pantry, that will provide the building blocks for home cooking to deliver great taste and health benefits with easy execution.

  1. Best interview yet! Thank you, Dr. Hyman. Could you please post a link to Chef’s video, The Magic of the Dish, in the show notes. I was not able to find it either on Amazon or through Google.

  2. Food as medicine is so true. Everytime I say it to someone they say yeah yeah and go back to the carbs! You guys are magnificent! More more!!!! Please!

  3. wow, I am tempted to find his place, and go there for some meals. Great interview! And I will be getting the books and trying the oils.

  4. Wonderful interview! I so wish doctors would get with chefs and learn more about nutrition and become more functional doctors rather than pill pushers. Thank you Dr. Hyman that your are one of those that is getting the word out and had rather our health problems be treated with food and more functional modalities. We need to get back to health in this country!
