Fresh & Easy Rainbow Quinoa Salad Summertime is the season of backyard BBQs and get-togethers. The dish that I usually bring along to these events is my Rainbow Quinoa Salad. I love it because it’s super easy to throw together and can feed a crowd. Even though it has lots of fresh veggies and herbs, […]

Lifestyle

I used to suffer from a slew of health issues. Migraines, hormonal acne, daily stomach pain, and a terrible immune system. As I started transitioning to a healthier lifestyle, there was one thing that made the biggest difference.

Recipes, Sauces + Dips

Dips are a staple in our house. Jackson (my toddler) is obsessed with them – hummus, guacamole, cashew cheese, and especially this Herbed White Bean Dip. It’s perfect for snacking or spreading on your favourite wraps. I love that it’s FULL of protein, fibre, and iron. Healthy + delicious.

Usually, Caesar salad dressing is not the healthiest option. But, it can be! By swapping out inflammatory ingredients for healthy alternatives, you’ve got yourself a pretty healthy (and creamy!) Hemp Heart Caesar Dressing.

Paleo chicken fingers breaded in almond flour on white plate.

Main Meals, Recipes

One of my all-time favourite foods is chicken fingers. There is something just so deliciously perfect about them. Slight crunch, a little salty, and yummy AF. Chicken fingers aren’t usually synonymous with healthy food. Obviously, I had to make up a version that was. How else could I go on with my life if I didn’t?

Lifestyle

I often get asked, “Do you actually eat that healthy all the time or are you just sharing your ‘highlight reel’ of good food?” My answer? Yes, I actually practice what I preach every single day. Now let’s just rewind here for a hot minute. I used to be the most horrific eater. Seriously. I was my own worst nightmare.

Even though I’m a Holistic Nutritionist, I still think it’s important to indulge in sweet treats. That’s why I created my Layered Raw Vegan Cheesecake. I always keep this on hand because it freezes beautifully and you can quickly thaw a piece for a guilt-free treat! And I’ve totally had this for breakfast before, too.

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.

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!"
