In her early years as a classroom teacher in the public schools in New York City, Felicia Drury Kliment was determined to find the cause of the three disorders that plague the inner city school child: obesity, learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. The cause of all three, according to a research study she conducted with a colleague at City College, was diet. Since that time Kliment has focused her research, writing, and consulting practice on customizing diet for individuals of all ages and walks of life.

Kliment has been widely published, including articles in academic journals during her tenure at City College. Among them are: Beyond Psychoanalysis: The Case for Nutritional Remedies for the Learning Disabled and Emotionally Disturbed, The Clearing House; Linking School-Based Diet with Behavior Disorders, Using Nutrients to Improve Brain Function in the Mentally Retarded, Thyroid and Health: A Fresh Perspective on the Consequences of Low Thyroid Function, Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Nutrition Journal; Using Nutrition, Exercise, and Air to Heal the Lungs, New Living. Kliment was also a nutritional columnist for The Amsterdam News, the most prominent black newspaper in the New York area. She is the author of The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet published by McGraw-Hill/Contemporary in 2002.

Kliment did research on how the philosophy of yin (acid) and yang (alkaline) became the basis of Chinese medicine. The results were incorporated in a series of papers published in the International Journal of Comparative Religion and Philosophy.

Kliment is currently a nutritionist in private practice.
