How might you make your next meal even just slightly more healthy?

Could you organize your kitchen to make it easier to eat well?

Can you maximize the amazing benefits of phytonutrients in your food?

I hope you’ll be thinking about these questions after listening to this episode of the New Normal Project show with Ashley Jubinville.

Ashley is The Kitchen Coach, helping families find successful strategies in their transition to a healthier, whole food diet while juggling the daily stresses in their world. An effervescent, determined Canadian, Ashley has a no-nonsense, cut-through-the-noise-and-confusion approach that has been an absolute game-changer for thousands of families.

With 18 years of research, practice, engineering and passion, Ashley has discovered a formula of success that has her working with clients across the globe. Her unique approach with food, recipes, and her quirky engineering mind, can help get you organised, on-track, and loving the kitchen again. She has done what many doctors told her was impossible with her own personal health challenges since childhood and now helps others prevent the trial, error, time, and frustration in figuring out how to navigate the world of food sensitivities, kitchen organisation and how to get more whole foods into your world.

Ashley’s work is her passion, and you can find her sharing her wealth of knowledge through her online programs, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, public speaking, and writing her new book!
