What is culinary medicine?
Culinary medicine uses the science of nutrition and medicine and combines it with the art of cooking to promote health and wellbeing. It recognizes the crucial role that nutrition plays in preventing and managing various health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, skin conditions and more. It is a holistic approach that emphasizes – but not limited to – using whole, minimally processed foods and culinary techniques to improve health outcomes.

How I have helped and inspired people:
Ashley W. – trying to loose weight and eat more nutritious food
“Viki helped me to understand the values of nutrition, and the range of possibilities available. With some simple considerations I was able to improve the quality and balance of the food I was eating, as well as simplifying my routines.
The focus has always been on changes that are achievable and that work for me, making them much more likely to stick and easier to slip back into when circumstances change. She’s shared plenty of helpful recipes and articles to help me on my journey and is always very friendly, positive and encouraging.”
Amy B. – suffering with PCOS
“Thanks so much! I actually have started doing a mostly Mediterranean diet but quite low sugar too and it’s actually working for me! I have lost 9.5lb, my hair stopped falling out and I actually have energy for the first time in years!!
Thank you so much for your help, I just wanted to let you know just that little change you advised me on has massively changed how I feel.”
Nick C. – wanting to have more energy, be healthier and tackle sleep issues
“Throughout my nutrition journey Viki was more than willing to help me every step of the way. Her professionalism and expertise shone through; but more important than that her passion for nutrition and healthy living really inspired me to change some deep rooted unhealthy habits and make more positive lifestyle change.
I now feel more confident and in control of my diet thanks to her knowledge and can see improvements already!
It’s also a great feeling to know that should I feel I need any more help, Viki will be glad to help me continue my journey further.”
