Christina Pirello, MFN, an Emmy Award-winning television personality, is one of America's foremost specialists on a better lifestyle based on natural and whole foods. This vibrant, free-spirited redhead with a brilliant personality sends a message to the world that is desperately needed. She's made it her life's mission to show the world that by learning to properly select the greatest ingredients available, anyone can look and feel their best. Christina's passion for food began at a early age, when she spent many joyful hours in the kitchen with her mother, who was the focus of the family's existence. Christina was well prepared to understand the healing power of food as a result of her excitement.

Christina's comprehension would be put to the test when she was diagnosed with terminal leukemia at the age of 26. Her life would be dramatically changed by a fortuitous meeting with her now-husband, Robert Pirello. Christina was helped by Robert, a whole foods advocate, to transform her lifestyle and diet to one centered on healthy eating that included whole and unadulterated foods. Christina overcome adversity and gained expertise in cooking with full natural ingredients as a result.

She was completely convinced of the link between diet and health from that point forward. She discovered that her life's purpose was to assist others in realizing the significance of this bond in their own lives. Christina studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture, macrobiotics, and received a Masters Degree in Nutrition, as well as writing seven cookbooks on the subject of healthy eating and natural living. Christina is a shining example and inspiration today, over 34 years after her illness, demonstrating that food choices have a huge impact on health and well-being.

Christina Cooks, her internationally acclaimed TV show, and her numerous books are transforming the world's health one dish at a time.
