About Carol Kenney, Ph.D.

Print This Page Print This Page

I have my Ph.D. in the Science of Natural Health and have studied other natural health disciplines. I am fascinated by research and enjoy sharing what I learn. As a working professional in my early years, I loved coming home to the quiet, peace, and solitude of my kitchen. Not gifted in other art forms, I turned to cooking as an expression of creativity and whimsy. Over time, I have come to appreciate fresh foods for the amazing gifts they provide—life force, balance, and seasonal harmony.

 

After retiring some 20 years ago from a professional career, I have spent two decades at home with my family. During these years, I enrolled in a variety of food, nutrition and health courses. I also trained and then volunteered my time teaching young mothers in a Zero-to-Three program at the Early Childhood Development Center, which now operates out to Metropolitan Hospital in Manhattan.  I am most grateful to Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D. and to Dr. Nina Lief and Rebecca Thomas, M.S., who have respectively shaped my thinking and my knowledge base in the fields of food and nutrition and of child development.

Testimonials:

  • It’s always so wonderful to speak with you. I truly look forward to our conversations. Your thoughts and input are always helpful to an amazing degree. Sometimes it’s hard for us to see our own forest as anything we can get through, too much underbrush and not enough light. It helps greatly to have a companion on the path who has their own flashlight… C.R., New York

  • “You have done so much for me. I feel GREAT! I am now working out 3 times a week, going to bed earlier, sleeping well, and cooking in new ways. You have opened up a whole world of quick, healthy meals that my whole family adores. Whole foods have changed my taste buds. I have given up forever all the diet sodas that I used to love. They no longer taste good. You have really started us down a path to greater health that will be easy to sustain.”…E.V., NYC, NY
