HIS MISSION:  Jason Aziz is a traveling chef who, after a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, shares his message of healthy eating all over.

Nutrition expert Jason Aziz is taking his role as a ”traveling chef” to a new level as part of his mission to teach people that healthy eating is “less of a chore’ than they realize.  Aziz, a clinical exercise physiologist at Concord Hospital for the past 10 years, has already introduced many Internet viewers to his brief cardio workouts and warm-ups.  During the past year, his routines have garnered more than 20,000 views on the popular YouTube video site, and the veteran fitness expert has also performed his culinary skills in person in scores of private home kitchens in southern New Hampshire.

But Aziz said his message about diet and diabetes management is more than a business, and these food guidelines have long been part of his own personal practice.  About 10 years ago, he was himself diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a disease which destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, and he said his illness spurred him on to share his knowledge of healthy food with others.
