For more than 15 years, Maribeth Abrams has been presenting nutrition information and cooking instruction to individuals and groups including St. Paul Traveler’s Employee Wellness Program, United Technologies Employee Wellness Program, Manchester Community College Health Education, Wild Oats Market, Whole Foods Market, La Leche League of Connecticut, Manchester Community College Culinary Arts, Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness Centers and at the annual conference of the North American Vegetarian Society.

Maribeth’s specialty is practical nutritional planning and meal preparation using a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. This is because a diet based on high fiber plant foods that are naturally cholesterol-free has been shown to help reach and maintain ideal weight, and to help prevent and treat chronic health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and diabetes. 

Maribeth has appeared on radio and television discussing food and nutrition (NBC Tampa, NBC Hartford, DUTV Philadelphia, WDRC Hartford), hosts the cooking DVD Tofu 1-2-3 with Olympic athlete Carl Lewis, and is the author of the cookbook Tofu 1-2-3 and the forthcoming 4-Ingredient Vegan.  

At the Monaco Center for Health & Healing in Glastonbury, CT, Maribeth provides nutritional counseling for weight loss, detoxification, food allergies, and healthy eating for the treatment and prevention of various diseases.  

Maribeth received her Bachelor’s Degree from Emory University, her Masters Degree from Georgia State University, and her nutrition training from the Global College of Natural Medicine. She is board certified by the American College of Drugless Practitioners.
