KDHamptons : What inspired you to start your business?
Charlotte: I believe everyone has a right to understand how food impacts their health. With all of the conflicting information out there, I want to be a resource and provide clarity to anyone who wants to learn more about nutrition or who needs help reaching their health goals.

KDHamptons: What makes the Hamptons the perfect place for your business?
Charlotte: My perspective on nutrition has always been to return to the basics by consuming fresh, whole foods from quality sources. The Hamptons provides this first hand through local agriculture, fisheries, and farms.

KDHamptons : What do you offer your clients? 
Charlotte: I offer nutritional counseling for individuals and corporations. Additionally, I host classes, lectures, and offer at home pantry cleanouts and grocery store tours. My focus is integrative, which means I look at the whole person not just individual symptoms and all of my recommendations are always rooted in science.
