Meet Chandra

Chandra Bivens Carty began her career with a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida. It was there that she developed a love for food engineering. As a lab tech she ran quality analysis on peanut milk, she tested pecans from Georgia for pesticide contamination and as a student she experimented with eatable caseines.

The Role of IFN

Tailoring treatment to address needs not just discussing diseases but addressing the vitality of an individual.

Evidence Based Approach

We believe in the power of how we do it: FOOD AS MEDICINE. Health In equals Healthy Out.

Treats the Body

Food has the power to affect how we feel and how much energy we need. It has the power to treat and reverse chronic illnesses.

Do You Know Your Hunger Scale?

Feel free to substitute your own language and experience in these descriptions. Most people enjoy their food and eat comfortably when they are between a “3” and a “6” on the hunger scale.

1. BEYOND HUNGRY

You may have a headache. You can’t concentrate and feel dizzy. You may have trouble with coordination. You are totally out of energy and need to lie down. This may happen during a very restrictive diet.

2. You can’t seem to tolerate anything.

You’re irritable and cranky and very hungry, with little energy. You may even feel nauseous. You are at the stage of being famished.

3. The urge to eat is strong.

You are feeling an emptiness in your stomach. Your coordination begins to wane.

4. You start to think about food.

Your body is giving you the signal that you might want to eat. You are a little hungry.

5. Your body has enough fuel

Your body has enough fuel to keep it going and is physically and psychologically just starting to feel satisfied.

6. You’re fully at...

…the point of satisfaction.

7. You’re past the point of satisfaction

Yet you can still “find room” for a little more. Your body says “no” and your mind says “yes” to a few more bites.

8. You are actually starting to hurt.

Maybe you shouldn’t have had more, but it tasted so good. Or, did you get caught up in the eating-is-the-thing-to-do syndrome because all of the activity was centered around food?

9. The after-effects feel really uncomfortable

Maybe you didn’t eat all day to leave room for this meal and you feel heavy, tired, and bloated.You no longer feel like socializing; you’d rather be by yourself or go to bed. Did you miss out on the socializing because you felt focused on the food?

10. BEYOND FULL

This is a typical Thanksgiving Dinner feeling – you are physically miserable, don’t want to or can’t move, and feel like you never want to look at food again.
