“What we choose to eat creates our state of health or lack thereof.”
Cara Demu, MPH, RD
Registered and Licensed Dietician and Nutritionist
Cara is a registered and licensed dietitian/nutritionist. She has been on her own personal wellness journey for the past 20 years culminating in a Masters in Public Health Nutrition from UNC Chapel Hill. Her nutrition philosophy is based in establishing a connection between the food we eat, the earth from which it came and our mind-body-spirit. This holistic view has given Cara the background to help bridge the gap between ancient healing wisdom and modern cutting edge, research-based medicine.
Her areas of expertise include Traditional Chinese nutrition, Ayurvedic nutrition, naturopathic nutrition, nutrition to support wellness (optimal daily nutrition, weight management, nutrition to increase energy, nutrition to support sleep), to support the body through a health crisis (pre and post-surgery, cancer, chemotherapy) and to bring the body into balance from common conditions of excess (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gout, yeast, metabolic syndrome, allergies, to name a few).
Cara’s career affiliations include Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, the Duke Diet & Fitness Center and the Chatham County Cooperative Extension. Cara also keeps close ties with many holistic practitioners in the Triangle. She is a member of the American Dietetic Association and the North Carolina Dietetic Association. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in International Business from Russell Sage College in Troy, NY.
In her free time, Cara enjoys cooking, reading, travel, and spending time with friends and family.
