Hi, I'm Dr. Shusterman, The Cooking Doc. Now, you're heard me say, "Change Your Buds" in my videos, but what does Change Your Buds actually mean? It means learning to change your taste buds so they actually enjoy healthy food. But this doesn't happen quickly. It takes time.

You have to teach your taste buds to like healthier things; whole grains, vegetables, fruit. And that's what The Cooking Doc is all about. It's about teaching you to make those things actually taste good. And once you make these changes, you won't have to fight as hard against your cravings for unhealthy foods. Your cravings will actually go away over time.

This is NephTalk, a podcast series created with nephrologists in mind, from Satellite Healthcare, a not-for-profit dialysis provider and clinical researcher, with a special focus on home, as the industry's home dialysis leader. I’m Christopher Springmann and let’s get cooking!
