My company, Preventive Nutrition, was founded in 2006 and it is dedicated to the prevention of chronic diseases.
I firmly believe in preventing desease and not waiting until the harm is done to our bodies.

I am the author of
"Your Heart Needs the Mediterranean Diet"
Learn How Mediterraneans Have Kept a Healthy Heart for Centuries
an innovative book written as a dialogue between the patient and the dietitian. Through the book chapters, the patient, diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure, is taken step by step on how to apply the principles of a Mediterranean lifestyle to reverse his health condition. The patient learns about a lyfestyle that not only revolves about the right nutrion for him but also about cooking, sharing meals and activities with his family, his friends, his co-workers, his community and about how to reduce stress. In sum, a different lyfestyle from his previous one that little by little makes him a healthier and happier person.
