PRESENTING CHRISTINE SCALFO……

CHRISTINE SCALFO – PLANT BASED DIET

Christine is a Certified Health and Nutrition Counselor and founded Food for Living as a result of her own journey to healing through diet.  She is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the United States Personal Chef Association.  Christine is a strong proponent of the old adage “Your food becomes YOU!”. 

“Helping people get more plant foods in their diets…one bite at a time, is Christine’s mission.  Most people need to increase plant foods in their diet and reduce animal-based foods, but they don’t know what to eat or how to shop for and prepare unfamiliar foods.

Many chronic diseases can be prevented, and even reversed, with a plant-based diet.  Plant-based diets are beneficial not only because they don’t contain the cholesterol and high amounts of saturated fats found in animal-based foods, they are also beneficial because of what they DO contain;  antioxidants and phytochemicals that have been shown to prevent and treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. 

Christine offers lectures and workshops, cooking classes, personal chef services and more.

After struggling with her own transition to a plant-based diet, Christine says, “If I can guide others on their journey so they don’t have to survive on corn chips and hummus as I did for awhile, I’ll be extremely happy.”
