After twenty-five years of nutrition research, Deborah has developed an evidence-based program that combines modern nutritional science with ancient food wisdom to treat the root causes of weight gain, health and healing. It's not about counting calories and carbs or being regimented and restrictive. Rather, it's about developing a lifelong relationship to food and eating that nourishes us physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

Deborah's new book WHOLE PERSON INTEGRATIVE EATING, with a foreword by Dean Ornish, MD, revisions nutritional health and provides scientifically sound therapeutic steps that anyone can integrate into their dietary lifestyle  The Association of Sports Dieticians and Nutritionists has been so impressed with Deborah's work that, starting in January, they will offer Deborah Kesten's Foundation of Whole Person Integrative Eating Training and Certification Program to dieticians and other health professions.

Through her work, Deborah has identified seven overeating styles, all part of our "new normal:" Emotional Eating, Food Fretting, Fast Foodism, Sensory Disregard, Task Snacking, Unappetizing Atmosphere, and Solo Dining) WHOLE PERSON INTEGRATIVE EATING includes the antidotes to resolve each.
