Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

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 “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

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® 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’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

I LOVE this "tongue in cheek" video! I've been learning from your videos for over a year now because you are sooo EZ to listen to. You teach in a relaxed manner to make your point. Diabetes & kidney disease runs in my family, but it stops with me! My father was going to have both feet amputated, but as his health advocate, I did not allow it to happen, and at 90, he died in peace, with his feet, due to heart failure. My uncle was on kidney dialysis at 50yrs old, my brother died at 55 yrs of colon cancer due to smoking, no exercise, stress, & a terrible diet of bacon, cheese, and lots of red meats & almost no fruits or vegis. His wife died of a massive coronary at 50. My husband died in2021 of COPD due to smoking, kidney & heart failure!!! I had ENOUGH!! I changed my diet to Whole Foods Plants Exclusive in 2022 and feel amazing! At 75, my GFR this year was 96!!! Fasting glucose 87!! Thank you Dr. Blake for your weekly motivational messages!!!❤

A year ago I went to a cardiologist for irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. It was discovered I had a very low ejection fraction (30-35%) . I started walking on the treadmill more, I threw out the salt and butter. Started eating the Mediterranean diet. I’m on meds also but my BP is great and my ejection fraction is normal (60-65%). I don’t smoke or drink. I’m not overweight. I love trying new recipes on the Mediterranean diet. Love all those veggies!!!
