The Plant Centered and Thriving Podcast

Tragedy strikes, causing this young woman to reevaluate her life and realize food is her best medicine

Ashley Kitchens: Plant-Based Registered Dietitian and Virtual Nutrition Mentor Season 1 Episode 40

"How we live and what we eat is more impactful in some ways than the genes we get passed down to us" 

Caitlyn Howarth shares her story that unfortunately begins with multiple family members dying of cancer, including her brother at the young age of 38. Naturally, Caitlyn wanted answers. She took a deep dive into her own research into what could have caused this and how can she prevent it from happening to her. She soon discovered plant-based eating. 

She was a typical American child and like so many of us grew up on a limited diet of mac & cheese and chicken nuggets.  She is a self-proclaimed lifelong picky eater, never having eaten a squash or bell pepper up until recently.  She now loves to experiment and has tried more new foods in the last two years than all 26 before that. Please enjoy her story.
