The video highlights programs that combine nutrition science with practical cooking skills, helping patients translate dietary guidance into daily routines.
The segment emphasizes that while many patients understand what constitutes a healthy diet, barriers such as access, affordability, and confidence in food preparation often limit behavior change.
