Dr. Glynis Albright, fondly known as the Waffle Queen, has built an empire off of her pies, cookies and pound cakes. As CEO of the world renowned Glynis’ Kitchen, her treats have been tasted and loved by the likes of Bill Clinton and John Legend.But cooking isn’t just Dr. Albright’s passion, it’s been her lifeline. When she was diagnosed with leukemia in her 30s, and with a PhD in nutrition, she used her superb culinary skills to whip up treats that tasted good and provided her with the nutrients she needed to heal. She then used those recipes to help others in her community struggling with their health.On this episode of Beyond the Prescription Dr. Albright and Dr. McBride discuss our often complex relationship with food, how to abandon the shame inherent in diet culture, and to appropriately nourish our bodies and minds. They talk about the baker’s journey of self-discovery as she moved away from skipping meals toward preparing delicious ones for herself and others. As the inventor of the “Just Sweet Enough” line of treats for people undergoing cancer treatment, Dr. Albright herself is food for the soul.Join Dr. McBride every Monday for a new episode of Beyond the Prescription.
