Episode Description
For Kirsten, having her daughter was a turning point to live a healthier life. At 24, she was significantly obese and pre-diabetic with high blood pressure. To change this, Kirsten decided she needed to overcome the toxic diet culture and processed food lifestyle she was used to and truly learn what it means to live healthily. And she did it. Now, Kirsten’s a former chef to professional athletes and the founder of Mesa De Vida, a series of globally inspired natural ingredient starter sauces — as well as being a mom of two. Listen in to hear how Kirsten achieved all this (and more), along with her advice on staying true to who you are and feeling good in what you're doing.
