Program
, effective coach

Russell Mariani is the director of client services at The Center for Functional Nutrition in South
Hadley, Massachusetts . He is a Health Educator and Nutrition Counselor and has been in
private practice since 1980. He has his Bachelor's degree from
Rutgers University, a Masters
degree in Nutrition Counseling from
Norwich University, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the
area of Digestive Wellness. Since 1980 he has helped thousands of people regain their health
through dietary and lifestyle improvements through classes, seminars, retreats, and personal
consultations. He is passionate about teaching others how to become more proactive in their
own self-care.

"My interest in natural healing and whole foods nutrition began shortly after I was mis-diagnosed
with colon cancer in 1973. Within three months the doctors settled on a diagnosis of
pre-cancerous ulcerative colitis. I was 18 years old at the time. Believing I had little time to live
and no time to waste,
I started on my healing quest. I sought the answers to a few questions of
vital interest to me at the time: How did this happen to me? What are the
root causes of digestive
disease? What role does diet and nutrition play in reversing the disease process and restoring
one's vitality, energy, health? Just exactly how does health really work? The answers I found
were so inspiring and helpful that I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to the continuous
learning and teaching of the fundamentals of nutrition and health. And that's what I've been
doing since 1980. I encourage you to contact me to explore ways in which I can assist you in
your personal quest to regain, maintain and optimize your health and well-being, especially if you
are suffering from any digestive system problems."

"I can tell you this:
There is simply no reason for anyone to suffer from any digestive system
problem if they are serious about getting better.
Many people have the desire to change, they
are just not sure where or how to begin. What they need is an effective coach and guide.
Someone who knows first hand, the kinds of physical symptoms and personal challenges they
are experiencing. Someone who has learned how and why to change their own dietary and
lifestyle habits. Someone who has helped thousands of people with digestive system problems
just like theirs to get better."

"I have been assisting others in the quest for better health through better dietary and lifestyle
choices since 1980. I am experienced in working with people addressing the full range of health
challenges, including
all the major (and minor) forms of degenerative disease. My experiences
demonstrate that the human body has an almost infinite capacity to regenerate and heal as long
as we cooperate consistently. Teaching people how to cooperate with the dynamic healing
systems within their own body is the essence of the work that I do. I have a particular interest in
and a long history of success with the
prevention and correction of digestive system imbalances.
I am passionate about teaching others how to become more proactive in their own self-care."

Russell Mariani lives with his wife, Megan Moore and their two teenage sons, Brian and Evan, in
the town of
South Hadley, Massachusetts. They also have a very independent cat named Mr.
Rah and a black Lab named Marley. (dog) When not working with his clients, teaching or writing
a new book, Russell's hobbies include music, hiking, biking, skiing, coaching youth sports, and
collecting antique furniture and books.
