Caroline Barringer

Co-CEO/Director of Immunitrition and Vice-President of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA).  Caroline is and a Board Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), NTA East Coast Lead Instructor, Master Certified Healing Foods Specialist (CHFS), published health author and international health lecturer.  Caroline currently serves an active Board of Directors member for the Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.    

Caroline's own health challenges led her to many years of study and research relating to the direct connection between diet and the strength of the internal bio-system - a connection, which the world of modern medicine doesn't often consider as a major factor contributing to dis-ease.  

She began her career as a professional singer and voice actor, but her fascination with food took center stage when she was first introduced to the age-old concept of lacto-fermentation in her early twenties.  With a rigorous and demanding performance schedule, Caroline noticed that her health was taking a hit, so she began researching the many ways to ferment or "culture" a wide variety of foods including meats, vegetables, fruits, fish, dairy, water, juices, teas, nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes.  Witnessing restorative health benefits, Caroline decided to make cultured foods and nutrition education a core element in her life and career.

Putting her entrepreneurial skills to work, Caroline founded Immunitrition, LLC in 2005 and began manufacturing cultured foods for national distribution.  In 2008, she created the Certified Healing Foods Specialist (CHFS) Training, an intensive food education course designed to inspire individuals to play an active part in the Healing Arts industry by promoting health with the finest, most natural medicine available - FOOD!  Putting her performance skills to work, Caroline began speaking about popular health topics at wellness conferences across the USA.  This inspired her to become a nutrition educator.

Caroline received her certification as a Board Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) from the Nutritional Therapy Association , Inc. (NTA), where she currently serves as Vice President, an active Board of Directors member, and East Coast Lead Professor.  Caroline currently attends the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she will be certified as a Holistic Health Counselor (HHC) and will be recognized by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners in December of 2011.  Caroline is a Master Certified Healing Foods Specialist, and she has a thriving New York based practice at her holistic health clinic, Inner-Chi Wellness, Inc. where she specializes in Preconception Preparation - helping couples to enhance fertility and conceive naturally through Nutritional Therapy.      

Caroline is a contributing author in the popular health book, "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health" and many of her articles have been published in popular newsletters such as the "Nutritional Therapist Newsletter", the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation's "Health and Healing Wisdom Journal", and the popular "Well Being Journal".  Caroline is presently working with Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author and creator of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet (GAPS Diet), organizing national GAPS Practitioner Trainings launching in September 2011.  Caroline recently produced and appeared in the official GAPS Cooking DVD to be released in July of 2011, and she will be recording the official audio version of the GAPS book during the summer of 2011.  Caroline is in the beginning stages of co-authoring her first book, as well as a companion cookbook and DVD due to be published and released by New Harbinger Publications during the second quarter of 2012 . 

Caroline's mission is to change the way the world eats through nutrition education, performance, and publication; to help empower individuals to make responsible and healthful food choices for restoring and maintaining a higher quality of life.  She shares the long forgotten practice of preparing and consuming whole and cultured foods with others through lectures, certification programs, consultations and printed/recorded materials.  She believes that a strong foundation of health is essential to staying disease-free.  She is an advocate of Nutritional Therapy, holistic self care, education and growth, where an individual has the right to make their own health decisions based on any health and wellness information available.
