A post shared by Christa Orecchio (@christa.orecchio)
For nearly two decades, Orecchio was a guiding voice in holistic wellness—showing people that food, soil, and self-awareness could be medicine. In her own words from her website:
"Since 2005, my passion has been helping people live optimally, with a focus on the role nutrition plays in overall wellbeing."
Her mission grew from there: "I founded and ran The Whole Journey for 18 years, which started as a private practice working with over 1000 clients, then evolved into a digital online program and supplement company for the last decade, serving over 16,000 customers."
That platform became the cornerstone of her legacy—offering science-backed protocols to support gut microbiome repair, address candida, mold, and heavy metals, replenish thyroid function, and recode the adrenals, all while cultivating emotional mastery.
Tributes Pour In For the Holistic Nutritionist
The news of Orecchio's death, first reported by the Hindustan Times, has shaken the wellness community, where she was regarded as a mentor, innovator, and compassionate soul. Since the announcement, friends, colleagues, and followers shared memories and heartfelt words.
On Instagram, Dr. Leah, ND (@drleahgordon), shared, "My heart is just broken. Christa was so incredible. She was such an inspiring mentor and friend to me, and the reason I have the business I do today. She will be sorely, sorely missed."
Author and wellness advocate Genevieve Howland (@mamanatural) added, "So stunned and saddened. She was such a kind soul who had the best intentions. She had a tremendous teaching gift and truly wanted the world to heal. So many prayers for her family, who have to walk through this terrible loss."
And @tatiaberry reflected on the profound influence Christa had on her life, "Christa was such an extraordinary and special person. Words do not convey the impact she had on my life, and I'm heartbroken to learn of her passing. May she rest in peace, and her light continue to shine. Prayers and love are being sent to her family and friends."
Christa Orecchio's Most Celebrated Work -
Bestseller: "How to Conceive Naturally: And Have a Healthy Pregnancy After 30"
Cookbook & Handbook: "The Whole Journey Food as Medicine Cookbook & Healthy Life Handbook"
Co-authored with Cheryl Tiegs: "The Anti-Inflammatory Diet"
She also hosted three health and wellness TV shows over six years, translating complex nutritional science into approachable, everyday conversations.
A Mission That Grew
In March 2023, Orecchio announced the end of The Whole Journey to focus on her family, her young son. And to follow a new calling: soil rejuvenation.
"There will be no food as medicine in 20–30 years if we don't focus on the soil and stop the toxins going into it," she wrote.
She partnered with nonprofits to push for a national glyphosate ban and championed super-soil farming methods to make nutrient-dense food accessible to people of all income levels.

Her Mission, Her Message
"Don't mask your problems. Address them. If you have a rock in your shoe, is it better to take off your shoe and remove the rock, or take painkillers to mask the discomfort?"
In her mission statement, she wrote, "It is my divine mission to protect and rejuvenate our soil, food supply, air, and water… to teach about the inherent intelligence of the body and its innate power to heal and thrive naturally when in alignment."
Christa Orecchio may be gone too soon, but the soil she fought to protect and the countless lives she inspired will continue to grow.
