Thrive with
Lifestyle and Culinary Medicine
Hello, thank you for stopping by to visit my website! I help burnt-out high achievers reclaim joy by optimizing their health & saving resources because you deserve to thrive from your life's goals.
Hi, I’m Dr. Colin Zhu, DO – TheChefDoc
I’m not your standard physician. Board-certified in both Family and Lifestyle Medicine, I’m also a health coach and a trained chef. Throughout my medical training, I realized no one was talking about the power of nutrition and lifestyle choices. So, I set out on a quest to gain this critical information, and along with it, gain the ability to inspire patients and empower them to spark change for themselves and others.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
TheChefDoc uses lifestyle medicine to treat the underlying cause of illness. Take your health to the next level by focusing on these 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine.
AS SEEN ON:
“It is never too late to get empowered and start caring about our health. Let’s just take the first step.”
