Personal Therapeutic Chef

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Nutrition Consultant helping people regain natural gut microbiome after yeast, bacterial, and viral infections.

I no longer offer a cooking service. Please consider having me customize a therapeutic meal plan for your healing. If you are too ill to prepare your food you can ask a friend or family member to make the easy-to-follow recipes that are included.

We each come into infection, illness, a medical diagnosis, or a desire to prevent relapse in our own unique way. I am here to listen and attune myself to your health issue(s) from a therapeutic nutritional perspective. My aim is to help you feel nourished. If you have a terminal end-of-life prognosis I counsel more medicinally and can help you to administer a home ginger compress or colonic.

Whole food is medicinal in nature to bring minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, etc. into the body. We all want to feel good to move through life with less effort and better health. I have personally moved through, and continue to live with, my own health issues and after spending 30+ years with my head in the books, cooking knife in hand, and meeting with clients I now consistently see the body as a self-healing organism that when given the necessary tools stands a good chance at finding balance (homeostasis).

My therapeutic cooking service is one such tool that some people choose to use as a holistic approach to healing. I find that many people prefer to rely on whole food as medicine more than prescribed drugs, which can come with side effects. Though this is not always possible many like to try.

Tara individualizes nutritional needs to the dot; without a doubt I recommend her as you convert to a healthy lifestyle while leading a busy life. ~ K.B., Montpelier, VT
