She is a certified chef via Le Cordon Bleu and a Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine where she has also served on the Board of Directors and published the Culinary Medicine Curriculum—the first comprehensive, open-source culinary medicine curriculum for health professional training programs. As Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine (Affiliated) at Stanford University School of Medicine, she teaches medical students nutrition, culinary medicine, and lifestyle medicine; she is also a teaching attending for internal medicine residents, psychiatry interns, medical students, and other trainees. At the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS), Dr. Hauser practices obesity medicine via a series of group medical appointments she developed that are focused jointly on lifestyle and medical management of obesity; she also evaluates patients for bariatric surgery. Additionally, Dr. Hauser practices primary care-internal medicine and serves as teaching attending at both the VAPAHCS (General Medicine Clinic, Palo Alto, CA) and the San Mateo County Health System (Fair Oaks Health Center, Redwood City, CA). Her research, clinical, and community projects blend her training in medicine, public policy, nutrition, epidemiology, and culinary arts to focus on improving education and access to delicious, healthy food for medical professionals, patients, and the general public. Her research has been published in top medical and nutrition journals, such as JAMA and AJCN, and she has been interviewed about cooking and health by media organizations such as the New York Times, Bloomberg News, CNN, the Washington Post, NPR, Stanford Medicine, and Harvard Health Publications.

Team Wauser

(aka. Jason Wimmert & Michelle Hauser) We are originally from the Midwest, met in Boston, and now consider the San Francisco Bay Area our home. Along the way, we picked up our two, adorable furry family members, Bandit (aka. Bandito Burrito) and Amira (aka. Meer Bear) and then welcomed our daughter, Sage, to the clan (she takes after her mom and LOVES to cook!). We are a nature-loving bunch and enjoy taking whatever opportunities we can to trail run, hike, and go to the beach.
