Welcome to Food Therapeutics

This site  The Web 

Food Therapeutics Areas of Expertise:
  • Fertility Food Plans and Nutritional Counseling
    • Couples (or individual) consultations for improved fertility - completely supported by numerous studies on food and fertility.  Email me to request my 12 page article on various studies showing the link between food choices and fertility - the results do not support "healthy" eating as we know it - they support traditional foods -which are my specialty!
  • Food for Fertility Program - a holistic infertility program
    • comprehensive 6 month program including 12 group classes, 12 individual nutritional consultations and 12 alternative therapy sessions including acupuncture, hypnotherapy, healing touch, and massage, and 12 yoga or Nia sessions
    • the body must be well-stocked with nutrients to be capable of supporting new life - in times of excess stress, lack of nutrients - as a safety mechanism the body will shut down the ability to conceive
    • This program teaches couples what is truly a natural diet for the human animal and aids in stress reduction to create a nutrient-rich environment primed for conception

Our Purpose
     Kelly Genzlinger, C.N.C., C.M.T.A (Certified Nutritional Consultant, Certified Weight Management Counselor, and Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor) is a Holistic Food Therapist / Holistic Nutritionist and founded Food Therapeutics in order to offer food therapy, weight management counseling and nutritional consulting. 
     These services are meant to provide personalized and specific advice about improving your wellness with the intent to teach important lessons about listening to your body and learning how to interpret what it can tell you, with focus on raising your nutrient-density-consciousness. 
     The basis of all recommendations is natural, whole, real food.  As part of the Leadership Team for Healthy Traditions Network, the local chapter of the amazing Weston A. Price Foundation nutrition organization, Kelly follows these philosophies and principles which include real, whole, traditional food selection and preparation.   Food Therapeutics can be a major part of your path to optimal health and well-being. 

     The Standard American Diet is "S.A.D.", unfortunately.  Our disease statistics are on the rise, and we are eating too many processed foods made with fake ingredients.  Our philosophy holds that the best way to improve food choices includes switching to real food, as it is provided by Nature, with minimal processing and manipulation by manufacturers.  Our food suggestions will always point to the most natural alternatives, considering sources, macronutrient ratios, ingredients, and food preparation.  
    



    Frequently Asked Questions:   
    What is Holistic Nutrition?  How is it different than conventional dietary recommendations?

          Holistic Nutrition is food-related advice, and fundamentally considers returning to a natural, traditional way of eating and preparing food.  The philosophies are based on real, whole food - grown and raised in a way that obeys natures laws - nutrient-richness and availability are forefront.

         This is very different than commercial and conventional advice given today regarding as its basis: prescription drugs, processed foods, refined grain, sugar, and low-fat recommendations, supporting the Food Pyramid.

Testimonials

Kelly has provided an amazing amount of interesting and eye-opening information on nutrition and exercise which has dramatically changed my life.  I feel leaner and stronger at age 52 than I have at any time in my life by following her advice and direction.  My whole household has been postivively affected by changing the way we purchase, prepare, and consume food.
J.I. ~ Troy, MI

Kelly Genzlinger has been like a "personal" nutritionist for me for many months. She has gien me guidance on food and its nutrional value that has benefited my weight and basic health needs.
What I like about  Kelly is that she "encourages" you without discouraging you.  Her energetic messages have helped me to get on the right track for my health and help motivate me to take good nutritional care of my body.
She gives you stores/places within your neighborhood to buy good, wholesome food and at a reasonable price, referes you to good articles (books, magazines and authors) wher eyou can get the "experts" opinions.  With Kelly's enthusiasm and encouragement it is hard to NOT stay on the right track for living longer and protecting your body.
I hope that Kelly continues on her path as an advocate and nuritionist for good foods and good health, and motivates others as she has for me.

W.C. ~ Troy, MI

Kelly has a genuine concern for other peoples well-being.  She has provided me with a great amount of nutritional insight in just a few short hours.  The time we spent was very insightful and interesting because there was so much passion behind the knowledge that she was sharing.  When she first started helping me, I was experiencing some depression. I knew that my diet probably had a lot  with it, but I just didn't have the motivation to do anything about it.  Knowing that some people need to start off by taking baby steps, Kelly recommended just three simple things for me to change.  I just had to try 3 things that were extremely easy to do, and guess what?  They worked! They made a huge difference in boosting my energy level, enhancing my ability to concentrate and maintaining my emotional balance.  To this day (10 months later), I still do all three and I feel great!

Kelly has also inspried me to do some research on my own.  Two books that she recommended were a tremendous amount of help and explained why the three habits mentioned above are so effective.  I look forward to trying more of her suggestions because I am convinced that they work.

Kelly is the most determined and disciplined person that I know when it comes to her diet.  Without doing anything else intentionally, she motivates me to eat well because I see how happy and healthy she is.  I would recommend her to anyone that is interested in learning more about taking care of their body, whether it is mentally, physically, or emotionally.  If you just want to take baby steps, she will have something easy for you that will make a big difference.  If you want to go full boar, she will surely lead you in the right direction.  Good luck!
