More about me.
For the past 24 years I have worked in Pharmaceutical, Chemistry, and Foods professions. I spent the majority of this time working with specialty ingredients and recipes/formulations. The latter part of my corporate career was spent developing healthy snacks, focusing on leading edge ingredients, vitamin and mineral fortification, and low glycemic index formulations.
Feed the Fire Within
Within each of us burns a Fire of Passion. It is this Passion for Life at our center that keeps us living vibrant lives! Likewise, it is our “Digestive Fire” that literally fuels us and gives us the ability to extract energy from the food, fluids, and air we take in. It is through this process by which we generate all of our activity – be it mental or physical – and it is by our activities that we achieve our goals and realize our passions.
Whether your passion is enjoying your children or grandchildren, or setting a new personal best in a marathon, triathlon, or time trial, Phoenix Nutrition can help you ignite that flame and fan it into a burning fire.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition, from Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey. Since 1985 I have worked as a Chemist and Food Scientist with international companies such as TJ Lipton, Schering Plough, Nabisco (now part of Kraft), and M&M/Mars.
I am certified in Healing with Whole Foods, a course taught at the renowned Heartwood Institute.
The Science (and Art) of Nutrition
The scope of the field has grown in recent years and the boundaries between the science of nutrition and many other biological sciences have blurred. For example, the science of nutrition includes chemistry to study how food ingredients interact with each other; physiology to investigate how nutrients within food are assimilated into body tissues; engineering to design new fortified foods; anthropology to explore why we chose to eat certain foods in centuries past; and psychology to determine what attitudes and behaviors influence our dietary patterns today. Nutritionists often have either a college or advanced degree in nutrition or a related field, whereas clinical (human) nutrition specialists will have graduate degrees, which may include medicine, and have completed an examination for certification. Registered dietitians are nutrition professionals who are often responsible for applying nutritional science to clinical practice to promote health and treat disease. Dietitians frequently work in hospitals but also may be employed in universities, public health departments, restaurants, the food industry, and exercise facilities. Similarly, given the broad scope of the field, other nutrition professionals include but are not limited to physicians, biochemists, anthropologists, epidemiologists, geneticists, food scientists, and engineers.
