Episode 36: In this episode of Freed Stories, we sit down with Jennifer Peters, founder of Just Be Kitchen, Colorado’s largest gluten-free restaurant group. Jennifer, who was selected as a May 2024 Freed Fellow, shares her journey from corporate marketing roles at companies like Xerox and KPMG to revolutionizing the restaurant industry with a fast-casual, anti-inflammatory approach to food.

Jennifer shares her personal journey, transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, and the motivation behind Just Be Kitchen, which offers food free of gluten, seed oils, refined sugar, soy, corn, peanuts, and legumes—designed for those with allergies or simply looking for healthy, flavorful options. Jennifer’s story is one of resilience, community building, and redefining how we think about healthy food without compromising on taste.
