Meet Dr. Kavita Patel, a physician entrepreneur who has dedicated her medical career to transforming the integration of food and health. She created CulVita Consulting LLC as a way to empower people with practical knowledge about nutrition.
Throughout my life, food as it relates to chronic disease has always been a passion of mine. In my Undergraduate years, I researched the impact of high fat diets on the largest blood vessel in our body; it happened to be the time that trans fats had gained rapid public awareness. I also studied the roots of an ancient form of medicine, Ayurvedic medicine. The focus on one's body as a balance of three main harmonies was the foundation upon which I began studying modern medicine.
As I entered medical school, I was sure I would become a Pediatrician. One summer, I helped launch a pediatric obesity clinic. I felt that to truly make a difference on childhood obesity, I needed to empower the adult decision makers. My residency choice shifted to Internal Medicine.
During clinical practice, I was identifying more adults with diet-related diseases and needed specific ways to provide guidance. Simply advising someone to cut back on salt for rising blood pressure, or monitoring fat intake for rising LDL, was just not enough. If it were, heart disease would not be the number one cause of death in our country.
People need solutions; I am here to provide them.
CulVita Consulting LLC bridges the gap between medical advice and practical dietary solutions. With an emphasis on culinary medicine, CulVita empowers families to make informed food choices that promote health and lower heart disease risk. Let CulVita guide you towards a healthier lifestyle with accessible, affordable nutrition solutions.
