Kirsten Hartvig ND – registered naturopath and medical herbalist

Everyone agrees that healthy eating is good for health and vitality. The tricky question is – what is health food? Much more difficult to answer …

Researching, preparing, serving and eating healthy meals has long been high on my agenda. When I trained as a medical herbalist, I felt I wanted to take the things I learnt a step further – from the pharmacy through the kitchen and into the middle of everybody’s everyday life – making natural health as easily accessible as possible.

Having spent 20 years on that path, I have come across many people of different persuasions, ages, backgrounds and countries, and in all sorts of states of health, wealth and well-being, leading me to the conclusion that healing is not only about know-how but also very much about know-why.

Kirsten Hartvig is an acclaimed nutritionist and naturopath, and author of The Big Book of Quick and Healthy Recipes and The Healthy Diet Calorie Counter. She lives in Denmark.
