Can Kitchen Monk help me with…?

Here’s an honest answer. Kitchen Monk™ helps people learn, explore, build skills, find resources, and connect. Your clinician is the one who diagnoses, prescribes, and makes a plan just for you. Everything below is sorted by who can help and whether it’s available today.

● AVAILABLE NOW · FREE · KITCHEN MONK

1. Available now through Kitchen Monk

You can use all of these today, at no cost.

INDEPENDENT RESOURCES WE RECOMMEND

2. Available through independent organizations

These organizations are separate from Kitchen Monk. We don’t have partnerships with them, they don’t sponsor or endorse us, and we receive no money from them. We share them because we think they can help.

◇ FUTURE VISION — NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE

3. The Kitchen Monk future vision

We dream big, and we share those dreams openly. None of these are available yet, so please don’t plan your care around them.

Kitchen Monk does not currently offer clinical visits, prescriptions, medical nutrition therapy, home health, group medical visits, or any insurance-billed service.

4. When you need individual professional care

Some needs call for a licensed professional who knows you. Please reach out to your own clinician, a registered dietitian, a physical therapist, or a mental-health professional if you need:

  • a diagnosis, a new symptom checked, or a change to any medicine
  • a therapeutic diet, for example for kidney disease, food allergies, pregnancy, an eating disorder, or a child’s growth
  • rehabilitation or physical therapy after an injury, surgery, or illness
  • help with sleep trouble, loud snoring, or low mood that won’t lift

If you take medicine: changes in eating and activity can change blood sugar and blood pressure, sometimes quickly. If you take medicine for diabetes or blood pressure, talk with your clinician before making big changes, and never stop or change a medicine on your own.

A helpful way to use Kitchen Monk: learn here, write down your questions, and bring them to your next appointment.

5. Urgent or emergency concerns

Kitchen Monk is not an emergency service, and messages to us aren’t monitored for urgent needs. In the U.S.:

  • Emergency: call 911
  • Mental-health crisis or thoughts of suicide: call or text 988, any time
  • Possible poisoning or medicine mix-up: Poison Help, 1-800-222-1222

Outside the U.S., please contact your local emergency number.

You don’t need to change everything today. Choose one step.
