What Is A Nutritherapist?

I prefer to use the European designation–nutritherapist–to differentiate myself from regular nutritionists.

What Is A Nutritherapist?

You see, the vast majority of nutritionists work exclusively with vitamins and supplements. While supplements are a good way to help you improve your health, prescribing pills is not what I do with my private clientele.

A nutritherapist, on the other hand, works exclusively with food and food only to help his or her clients with their health conditions.

I believe firmly that the vast majority of our modern degenerative diseases are self-generated, and result from the effects of bad basic nutrition.

Whether we are eating too much fast food or commercially prepared foods, drinking overly sweet soft drinks or stuffing ourselves with snacks loaded with trans-fatty acids and high fructose corn syrup, we are harming ourselves through our daily food choices.

There are many reasons for this:

  • Lack of basic nutrition education in school
  • Our government’s lack of focus on the prevention of disease
  • The constant barrage of marketing brainwashing we are subjected to since childhood
  • The fact that this society is constantly on the run and busy, busy, busy
  • We do not take the time to prepare a good and healthy meal
  • We do not take the time to enjoy that meal with our family or friends

We are way too rushed to pay attention to the essential things in our lives: food and love. Our jobs and
assorted obligations force us to be constantly on the run and harried. Ours is a busy and productive, but not a healthy society.

As a nutritherapist, I hope to contribute to a positive change.

is butter good for you

Is Butter Good For You?

The good news is that, if you’re willing, you can make your own butter. Buy organic heavy cream. Mix it with the same probiotic culture used to make yogurt. Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours to allow for fermentation. Refrigerate overnight. Whisk it until it turns into butter. With a cheesecloth, drain the buttermilk (or save it for other uses) and voila! You have made your own homemade butter. It is called cultured butter. Here again, the secret is moderation. 1 to 2 pats of real butter a day will do you good.
