Meet Our Founder

Augusto Agostini, Ph. D.

CEO / Founder

The Coalition To Defeat Childhood Obesity, Inc.

Having studied complementary medicine and nutrition in the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico, Dr. Agostini became a Nutriologist (earning a doctorate – Ph. D. – in Nutrition) in 1996, and almost immediately established his own line of nutritional supplement products (“NutriTherapies” brand) in San Antonio, Texas in 1997, a stage of his professional career during which he also became an accomplished nutritional product formulator.  Later in 1999, he moved to Orlando, Florida, where he established his own consulting “SlimFit & Healthy” Weight Management Centers.

In 2006, he founded “The Coalition To Defeat Childhood Obesity, Inc.”, a 501 (c)(3)  charitable organization dedicated to educating parents, family and teachers, etc. on how to most effectively manage overweight children’s health condition. It is through The Coalition’s websites and blogs that he began an Educational Awareness Crusade among pediatricians and other health professionals, parents, teachers and concerned community members on the importance of identifying, preventing, counteracting, and even reverting the Metabolic Syndrome X in Children and Adolescents (since ages 10 to 16), in order to prevent the occurrence of chronic-degenerative infirmities (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, etc.) in them from an early age.
