Dimitra Alexandri
Ι am a certified Dietician- Nutritionist, scientific associate of nlpgreece®. I am specialized in Eating disorders and Metabolomics. Also, Ι have been teaching nutrition, as well as working in various areas in the nutrition field.
Last but not least, I profess my passion for constant studying upon the human microbiome and neurobiology in interaction with food and the body’s function/symptoms.
My story starts in early childhood where I started to discover and admire the way human and nature function and interact. A remarkable world that never ceased to amaze me and giving me life.
In addition to the above, a strong desire for reversing illness came up so that today, after many years of experience and knowledge I work, mostly, with people with autoimmune/ chronic diseases, cancer and people with eating disorders such as obesity, bulimia, anorexia etc.
My goal is people who choose me for their ‘’therapist’’ to see through my eyes all the possibilities they can have and realize that being healthy or eliminate/ control a disease is completely under their own liability and is also really simple unlike what most people believe. Then, to experience health!
Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition is the key.
The greatest principle for a person is to :
- learn that the ultimate goal of human body function is to stay healthy and alive at all costs
- discover how amazingly body works
- realize that the most important gift that can offer is health!
Our state of health is not just the genes we inherited (Genetics) and the only solution is not drugs or accepting what we have inherited. On the contrary, the expression of genes and the general state of our health depends on a very large percentage on factors that we can have complete control of (Epigenetic).
