Celeste McCarthy

Celeste McCarthy co-founded Protea with the mission to offer an integrative approach to healthcare. Recognizing the essential role good administration plays in the delivery of meaningful care, she helped develop the patient-centered coordinated care that has set Protea apart from other clinics in the field.

Celeste is a practicing Holistic Nutritionist and believes that with enough guidance and support, each patient can become an advocate for his or her own best health. Bodies are complex systems that constantly send signals. Once we learn to decode these signals, optimal wellness can be restored and maintained.

Working with our team of physicians, Celeste employs the most advanced diagnostic tools available including the InBody scale, respiratory metabolic testing, and physician directed labs to determine what nutrition plan is best suited for each patient.

From specific dietary guidelines to reduce inflammation to safe weight loss programs to elimination diet protocols, she guides patients towards a way of eating for life rather than for a season.

Foods we eat are only one part of optimal holistic nutrition. Primary nutrition includes social, spiritual, emotional and mental health, and Celeste coaches patients to create balance in all areas of life.

Celeste is a certified yoga teacher and has been teaching in several studios throughout the valley since 2013. She believes that yoga complements and enhances whole body and emotional health.

In her free time Celeste enjoys practicing yoga, hiking, running, reading, writing and traveling, and spending time with her husband, three teenage kids and three dogs.
