Kate Velasquez is a lifelong foodie, fitness lover, and chef with an expertise in recipes that promote better digestion and gut health. It all began after having kids, when she felt the need to adjust her eating habits to get back to her pre-baby fitness.

After graduation, she worked for the esteemed NY area chef, Peter Kelly, where she honed her meal prep skills and learned to scale recipes for entertaining.
