Cristina Maria Curp is a Cuban-American, mother, military spouse, food lover and dreamer. She is also a former restaurant chef, current Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and cookbook author. She created The Castaway Kitchen blog to share her passion of food as medicine. When she was about to turn thirty, with a baby to care for she found herself at rock bottom. Emotionally and physically.
She was severely overweight, riddled with inflammation, pain, and fatigue. Something needed to change, so she looked at her food choices. As a lifelong binge eater, she was ready to stop the vicious cycle of guilt and self-harm.
With The Castaway Kitchen, her mission is to spread the word that food does heal and that you can embrace the dietary and lifestyle changes that will change your life.
Cristina wants you to feel empowered and inspired to heal! By creating delicious resources, sharing information, and her own story, her goal is to help YOU find the nutritional path that is right for you. We’re all so unique and while she does share what has worked for her, it might not be what works for you, but she will help get you there!
