Main Meals, Recipes

Mac n Cheese has, and always will be, an auto-win in my books. It’s a classic comfort food that I grew up eating all the time and that wasn’t going to change.

Baked Goods + Desserts, Holiday Recipes

Our family LOVES this super moist carrot cake. It’s the perfect companion to any holiday dinner or, hey, just because you wanna have some cake! The grain-free flours make it safe for celiacs and anyone with a gluten intolerance, too.

Rosemary honey carrot ribbons in a red dish with black towel in the background.

Recipes, Side Dishes

They’re a classic vegetable served with most dinners, but poor carrots are never really the star of the show. That’s why I love this recipe. The slightly-sweet but earthy flavour of the carrots really shine when paired with some lemon juice and honey. The rosemary adds a perfect amount of herbaceous aroma.

Skin Care, Skincare

There’s a reason why the topical treatments you use for irritated and acne-prone skin don’t work. Skin issues are not a topical issue. They’re a symptom of an internal problem.

Main Meals, Recipes

Buddha Bowls are generally more of a formula than a strict recipe. They contain all the macronutrients we need from food: protein, fat, and carbohydrate. By including all of these in one meal, our body feels more satiated and stay fuller for longer.

Lifestyle, Motherhood

I never thought it would happen to me but then it did. I found out I had a second-trimester miscarriage at almost five months into my pregnancy.

I’m Katie

I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women with chronic acne clear their skin from the inside out.

Hey!

After years of dealing cystic breakouts, I cleared up my skin for good by fixing my gut, liver and hormones. I went back to school for nutrition and then said seeya later to my job in television. I launched an online nutrition business (before working from home was a thing) so I could help as many women as possible feel confident AF in their own skin, too.

We help you understand what your body’s been asking for, so you can stop guessing and move forward with clarity.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!

I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."
