Episode 68: Ashley Kitchens on The Keto Diet Stacey Heiny

Join my Beautycounter team here

Ashley Kitchens grew up on an Angus cattle farm in small-town Indiana. As you might guess, meat and dairy were a big part of daily life. Unfortunately, so were GI issues like chronic constipation. For years, she was told to manage my issues with medication instead of considering the food she was was putting into her body.

Ashley earned my Masters of Public Health and Nutrition from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became a registered dietitian in 2012. But, even after all that, her issues didn’t completely go away.

It wasn’t until she did personalized research to dive deep into my own life and my own eating habits that she noticed a significant change. For her, this meant transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle.
