Celia Westberry Eat Yourself Younger

Celia Westberry grew up in the Caribbean Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, studied in the United States where she earned a Master of Science in Cell Biology. She became aware of the mind/ body connection to overall health while doing scientific research in cancer. This led her to create a Wellness consultant business, where she served School Districts, corporations and individuals.


Both her scientific background in research as a cell biologist as well as a decade of teaching cell and molecular biology give her the insight to seek out what’s lurking in food that can help or hinder. Celia acquired expertise in food and cooking for over two decades from classes, seminars and food festivals. She loves cooking for her family and coaching her clients about what foods are ideal for their well-being.

What I want the world to know……

I wrote this book to document my search for the truth about food. It started out as soon as I was old enough to understand that my father died, quite suddenly, in a diabetic coma when I was just 3 years old, leaving me to grow up fatherless. My mother always warned us to avoid sugar because of this. This led me to cement a belief about eating and survival.

My enquiry led me to study cell biology and understand that my offspring and I have this genetic link to diabetes. In my quest for the truth, I developed a passion for food, gathering information on all kinds of food, cooking, and even growing my own herbs. As time passed by, I would give food hints to my relatives who were, in my opinion, having symptoms of aging related to diet. And it worked, especially in the case of gout, diabetes, joint pains and high blood pressure and cholesterol.

I am lactose intolerant. There are no recipes that contain the milk sugar lactose, so this book works for people with this genetic symptom.

This book happened because one of my grateful relatives urged me to write down my recipes, before I get to old to remember them. This also serves posterity.

This book is designed so that anyone who has made, or desires to make a shift in consciousness about nourishment, sustenance and choice of foods, can have a head start. They can start by daily choosing natural fresh food , following the menu section and choosing mostly to prepare the recipes in this book. The glossary and introduction at the top of the menus will help them to get a keener understanding of vital substances in food. Choosing these foods will help them manage there own aging process, so as not be bothered by non pathogenic symptoms of aging.
