I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying \u201ceat healthy\u201d to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health. <\/p>\n<p>Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc\u00ae  believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake\u2019s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health. <\/p>\n<p>The information, including but not limited to, text, graphics, images and other material contained on this website are for informational purposes only.
