More about our guests...

Lindsay's love for Holistic Nutrition started after she developed Hashimoto's Thyroiditis in 2008, and she learned how much of a role good food played in her health and wellbeing.

She started her career in Molecular Biology and Genetics after graduating from Guelph University with a Bachelor of Science with Honours, working in labs doing research up until her family needed her at home. At that time, she completed the Natural Nutrition Program at CSNN in 2015 and has been integrating her knowledge of holistic nutrition with her family, friends, and clients.

Her background in Biology, Biochemistry, and Genetics has helped give her a deeper understanding of the workings of nutrition and the role it has on the body, which she now shares with the students at CSNN and Grant MacEewan University. She is a firm believer in evidence based nutrition science and brings her passion on this topic to the classroom to ensure students are up to date on current research, which enables graduates to provide the best possible recommendations to their clients.

Arriving in the United States in 1993 from Pune, India, Deepa Deshmukh had a degree in Food Science and Nutrition and a desire to serve and empower people to eat a nutritious diet and maintain good health. Deepa's first glimpse into the field of nutrition came while volunteering at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. In her position teaching nutrition to the most vulnerable population – families living in shelters with chronic health conditions, Deepa recognized that these people lacked both nutrition understanding and access to nutritious food. Deepa began a quest to help people, especially those with diabetes and other autoimmune health challenges to prepare and enjoy affordable and nutritionally-sound meals.

Today on the show Deepa chats with Kiki about the importance of gut health as it relates to supporting her clients' journey back to optimal health, and why she's so thankful for Meal Garden being the magic tool behind the scenes!
