Are you looking to eat healthy and be active this summer? 🥗🏃🏽‍♀️

Do you love cooking or want to learn? 🧑🏼‍🍳

Do you wish you had a personal health coach to help you reach your goals? 👏🏻

Well, you’ve come to right place! Let us introduce the Chef-ID Study! 🥳

Chef-ID is a healthy eating, cooking skills, and exercise research study to promote independence and functional skills while maintaining a healthy weight.

We are looking for young adults with intellectual disabilities to join our study where they will receive 1 on 1 coaching, a healthy eating and exercise plan, and mobile health technology for the study!

See our flyer below for more information 👇🏼

I am a clinical research assistant, I have been working here since January. I have always been interested in psychology research since leaving the navy in 2017. My favorite workday snack is probably chocolate covered pretzels.
