Therapeutic Chef

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Nutrition Consultant for people regaining natural gut microbiome after yeast, bacterial, viral infections with The Body Ecology Diet.

I cook for residents in Vermont and Upper Valley, NH. healing a yeast, bacterial, or viral overgrowth health-related issue with 6/12-week contracted agreement in place. If you live outside this area consider a therapeutic meal plan with all recipes included; customized to meet your unique dietary and health needs.

Since 1996, I have worked in home kitchens across the country as a Therapeutic Chef for people healing a health condition with food as the main constituent. If you are interested in my service, please email tara@happybellies.net to complete a food and health questionnaire. My aim is to bring together traditional, health-promoting ingredients into nourishing, easy-to-digest meals that are known to promote health and well-being.

If you have a terminal end-of-life prognosis I cook with more discipline and am available to help administer home ginger compresses and colonics.

You are in good hands with Tara. ~ J.S., Worcester, VT.

Whole food is medicinal in nature to bring minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, etc. into the body. We each want to feel good and move through life with less effort, more health. After years helping people get better I confidently see the body as a self-healing organism that when given the necessary tools has a very good chance at finding (and maintaining) balance, homeostasis.

My therapeutic cooking service is one tool some people use as a holistic approach for healing. Many of my clients prefer whole food as a form of “medicine” more than taking prescribed drugs which often come with side effects though this is not always possible to avoid.

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.
