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 New Hampshire who are interested in healing a yeast, bacterial, or viral overgrowth related health issue with a 6/12-week contracted agreement in place. If you live outside this area then consider a therapeutic meal plan (recipes included) customized to meet specific dietary and health needs.

Since 1996, I have worked in kitchens across the country as a Therapeutic Chef to help people heal mild to severe health conditions with food as the main constituent. I turn traditional, health-promoting ingredients into nourishing, easy-to-digest meals known to promote health and well-being. If you have a terminal end-of-life prognosis then I cook with even more discipline and can help administer ginger compresses and home colonics.

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.
