Employee Benefits

Written By Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII
In order to explain nutrient and functional needs of the body, Johanna Clift gets people to think about the cells in each organ and how they are like “employees in a business.”

For example, the cells in the kidneys are filters. They need minerals obtained from the foods we eat to do a good job. This is just like employees of an office who need paper, toner and other office supplies to do their jobs. Johanna encourages people to think about giving your cells “benefits” like “vacations in the sun with plenty of water, nourishing food and calm thoughts.” These are the keys to a healthy body and “sound business”!

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
