Chef Gen is a professionally trained recipe developer, health coach, and certified holistic chef. She graduated from culinary school and launched her recipe site, Two Cloves Kitchen, in 2021. In addition to her holistic chef certification, she is pursuing her integrative nutrition coach certification and preparing for her Certified Nutrition Consultant (CNC) credential.

Her journey began with personal challenges; she was diagnosed with IBS at a very young age and was told by doctors that symptom management was her only option. For over 30 years, she experienced daily pain, discomfort, low energy & mood, and generally just didn’t feel good. In her 30s, she was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and underwent numerous treatments to control it. She continues to work with her dietitian to actively heal her gut and improve her quality of life.

Today, as an Integrative Nutrition & Culinary Coach, Chef Gen is dedicated to helping others improve their gut health through nourishing, thoughtfully crafted recipes and personalized health coaching. She combines her expertise in culinary arts with holistic health knowledge to empower clients on their wellness journeys, focusing on food that tastes good, feels good, and fits individual needs.
