Vivica is a functional nutritionist with a holistic approach to healing, helping restore health & vitality through food, lifestyle and detoxification. Originally from Italy, the love and reverence of food runs deep growing up in a family of restaurateurs that led to an early career as a food photographer. Through her own healing journey to overcome pre-diabetes and an autoimmune thyroid disorder, Vivica came upon her true vocation – helping others heal through food and the innate wisdom of the body. In her web-based practice, Vivica specializes in endocrine rebalance and hormone-related issues, guiding women through a specialized healing journey using therapeutic diet, empowering lifestyle and detox/supplementation. In The Healing Foods Method, her highly individualized signature course, Vivica works one-on-one with people to help discover and eliminate the root cause of disease. Vivica is also a well-known voice in the holistic nutrition community as a passionate advocate of therapeutic ketogenic and paleo diets through her blog and social channels. Reconnecting with her roots, she found her way back to the kitchen to author three published cookbooks on healing foods with another due this fall.
