I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and Certified Personal Trainer with a telehealth private practice specializing in diabetes management, pre-diabetes prevention, weight management, and PCOS. My clinical expertise spans Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, and cardiometabolic health. I am one of a small number of practitioners who holds both the RD and CDCES credentials alongside a personal training certification — allowing me to address nutrition, glucose management, and exercise strategy as a single integrated plan rather than three separate referrals. I have a particular focus on the Asian and Asian American community, where Type 2 diabetes is significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Asian individuals develop insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes at lower body weights than standard screening guidelines typically account for — meaning many Asian patients are told their numbers are "fine" long after their metabolic health has begun to shift. As a Taiwanese and Hong Kongese practitioner fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, I provide culturally informed care that meets clients where they are — including nutrition guidance built around Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese food traditions rather than asking clients to abandon the foods that are central to their culture and family life. I am available to comment on topics including: Blood sugar management and glucose pattern interpretation CGM (continuous glucose monitor) use and data literacy GLP-1 medications — nutritional considerations and muscle preservation Pre-diabetes reversal and prevention strategies Diabetes and exercise — including resistance training and cardio's effect on glucose PCOS and insulin resistance Medical nutrition therapy and the role of the RD in diabetes care Disordered eating and complicated relationships with food in the context of chronic illness Diabetes risk in Asian and Asian American populations — why standard BMI cutoffs miss the mark Culturally informed nutrition care for Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese communities Bilingual nutrition counseling in Mandarin and Cantonese Telehealth nutrition care and multi-state practice Weight management without restriction Available for: quotes, expert commentary, podcast interviews, article contributions, and media features — in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese.

Ashley Kitchens, MPH, RDN, LDN, is a nationally recognized plant-based dietitian, spokesperson, and nutrition consultant. Ashley founded her company "Plant Centered Nutrition" with the intention of providing approachable plant-based nutrition information to her clients, community, and media audience. Ashley is regularly seen in national media outlets such as Fox News, VegNews, Vegetarian Times, Eating Well, The Times Weekly, Forbes, Newsweek, and Health.com, providing comments and education on various nutrition related topics. She is a trusted source with over 10 years of experience practicing as a plant-based dietitian. She also partners and collaborates with plant-based friendly brands through social media, speaking engagements, her podcast, and many more platforms. Ashley grew up on an Angus cattle farm in small-town Indiana. As you might guess, meat and dairy were a big part of daily life. Unfortunately, so were GI issues like chronic constipation. For years, Ashley was told to manage her issues with medication instead of considering the food she was putting into her body. Ashley earned her Masters of Public Health and Nutrition from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became a registered dietitian in 2012. But, even after all that, her GI issues didn’t completely go away. It wasn’t until she did personalized research to dive deep into her own life and her own eating habits that she noticed a significant change. For her, this meant transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle. After that transition, she knew there were others who could benefit from a diet filled with more plants. She also knew it was critical for the coaching they received to be based on a deep understanding of their unique situation. That’s when she realized why she became a dietitian. Ashley made it her mission to help others transition to a plant-centered way of eating through a holistic approach and intuitive eating practices.
