Background: Culinary medicine (CM) interventions in teaching kitchens have emerged as novel approaches for influencing dietary behaviors, but their efficacy, content, and delivery vary. Objective: The effects of a virtual vegan CM intervention on behavioral determinants, cooking competencies, diet quality, skin carotenoid status were assessed. Methods: This analysis from 9-week randomized crossover study evaluated survey assessments, Whole Plant Food Density (WPFD) quality indicator...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence remains elevated globally. We have previously shown that a one-week lifestyle "immersion program" leads to clinical improvements and sustained in quality of life moderate high atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk individuals. In subsequent year this similarly modeled immersion program, we again collected markers cardiovascular health and, additionally, evaluated intestinal microbiome composition. ASCVD volunteers (
Background: Cooking and dietary intake may affect psychological well-being. Objective: We evaluated the effects of a virtual culinary medicine teaching kitchen intervention on psychosocial health. Methods: In randomized crossover trial implementing vegan diet high or low in extra virgin olive oil, adults with ≥5% atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk participated eight weekly group cooking classes. Psychosocial survey assessments perceived stress, positive negative affect, quality life...
Introduction: Lipid levels are influenced by diet composition, pharmacotherapy, and severity of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk both alone in combination. Objective: To compare changes apolipoprotein B (apoB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), additional lipid biomarkers treatment with lowering medications (LLM) when following a vegan high or low extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). We hypothesized greater reduction among those not taking LLM compared to LLM. Methods: In secondary...
Background Whole‐food, plant‐based vegan diets, low in oils, and Mediterranean rich extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. Optimal quantity of dietary fat, particularly EVOO, is unclear. Methods Results In a randomized crossover trial with weekly cooking classes, adults ≥5% followed high (4 tablespoons/day) to (<1 teaspoon/day) or EVOO whole‐food, diet for 4 weeks each, separated by 1‐week washout. The primary outcome was difference low‐density...

Abstract Background Epidemiological evidence suggests that inadequate sleep duration and insomnia may be associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, longitudinal data repeated measures MetS are limited. We examined the association its components using from Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). Methods The study included postmenopausal women (ages 50–79 years) diabetes-free at enrollment in WHI, baseline on ( n = 5,159), 5,063), MetS, components. Repeated self-reported...
