A national movement to change the way America eats. Jamie wants to mobilize the huge response to the Food Revolution so far and turn it into a movement for change in which America leads the world. It will bring together millions of people and inspire the nation to fight obesity with better food. At its heart is a powerful strategy to get people cooking again. Here are some of the ways we'll be doing that:

  • More cooking at home
    • A nationwide network of community kitchens where anyone can go to learn basic home cooking
    • Jamie's home cooking course
  • Freshly cooked meals at school
    • An activist program to support parents who want better food in their child's school
    • A community website to encourage grass-roots activities for change all over the US
  • Cooking in the community
    • The Food Revolution truck, a mobile food classroom and flagship center for the Food Revolution
    • A cooking course available in church halls, community and healthcare centers and the workplace
  • Schools and Communities - to inspire and educate parents, carers, young adults and children through:
    • Freshly cooked meals in schools and colleges
    • Cooking lessons for kids at school
    • Lessons teaching basic food skills to healthcare and social care professionals
    • Cooking classes for the public in the community
  • Corporations - to promote culture change and encourage community investment on several levels:
    • Food industry - help to tackle obesity by producing better food products and labeling products in a more honest way
    • Healthcare sector - investing in future health means cost savings down the line
    • Employee health - provide better food for employees in company canteens and provide cooking classes for employees to give them the skills they need to be healthy

HealthCorps®, is building a movement to fight childhood obesity by getting to the underbelly of the crisis and discovering what Americans are really hungry for and why and then proposing a remedy.
  • HealthCorps “Coordinators” carry out unique in-school and community programming targeting high-need populations. Coordinatorsare recent college graduates who defer entry into medical school or graduate health programs to serve a two-year full time assignment at a designated public high school.
  • Using peer-mentoring to deliver an experiential curriculum in nutrition,fitness and mental strength, Coordinators give teens purpose, help develop human character and inspire an interest in health and culinary arts careers. 
  • Co-founded by heart surgeon and Emmy Award-winning talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife Lisa Oz, HealthCorps also serves as a unique research laboratory to explore the complex, underlying causes of the obesity crisis and discover and communicate solutions.
  • Bringing many initiatives together to activate the students’ mind, body and spirit, HealthCorps is transforming the educational paradigm one school at a time.

Our three priorities:

1)  Educating Students HealthCorps’ national peer mentoring program spans 53 high schools in 13 states (AZ, CA, DC, DE, FL, LA, MD, MS, NJ, NY, OH, OR, TX).

2) Creating a Fit Town™ in Communities Across the Country. We challenge teens through “Fit Town,” to reach beyond the school yard to help other students, their families and their communities experience wellness through service.

3) Advocacy HealthCorps advocates for healthy public policy across all levels of government.
