WHO WE ARE
NuCook uses live, personalized cooking classes to help women build healthier eating habits that they can truly enjoy. Designed by our team of experts, NuCook incorporates the best of cooking, dietary, and women’s health data to create recipes that support you where you are. NuCook’s curriculum was developed first as an in-person study at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and transitioned into virtual classes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting with pregnancy and menopause, we hope to expand our courses to include focuses across the lifespan.

DR. SUSAN HELLERSTEIN MD, mph
Dr. Hellerstein is the third generation of doctors in her family to promote healthy cooking. As a practicing obstetrician gynecologist, she sees pregnancy as a pivotal time where women are motivated to improve eating habits for their health and growing pregnancy. Her hands-on Cooking and Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy course leverages the expertise of an obstetrician, chef and nutritionist team to teach women how to put guidelines into practice. She is studying how these classes build confidence and competence in women’s ability to make easy, affordable, healthy and delicious home cooked meals. The classes are fun and women try many new foods that look and taste amazing using a variety of grains, lots of vegetables, and healthy proteins.
