Let’s take a seat at the table as Colin Zhu, DO, aka TheChefDoc, prepares a five-course chronicle that spans his journey into osteopathic, lifestyle, and culinary medicine. Dr. Zhu is a graduate of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) and he completed his residency at Manchester Memorial Hospital in family medicine.

He dove into his passion for health and wellness by continuing his studies at the Natural Gourmet Institute, majoring in health-supportive culinary arts to become a chef, as well as at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a certified health coach. Dr. Zhu has taken pieces of Eastern and Western medicine and developed a synergy to benefit his patients in everyday life. I hope you brought your appetite because the TheChefDoc does not disappoint. Following is an edited Q&A.
