Culinary Medicine for All.
Our approach
We empower families overcoming health risks, childhood cancers and rare diseases with evidence-based culinary medicine programs designed to enhance quality of life and foster whole-body wellness, in treatment and beyond.
Our programs are available online and in-person, both in the community and hospital-based settings. Our nationwide online platform and physical locations in California and Georgia provide accessible support, while clinician and provider education ensures lasting impact.
Together, we thrive!

“I love the MaxLove Connect app because I can meet other families in my area and with the same diagnosis anywhere. Traveling this path alone can be overwhelming, but having the support is comforting. Whether you want to support yourself through the BE SUPER Action Plan or seek the support of other parents, it's all in the app.”
