I am the founder and chef behind Red Fennel Kitchen, a Greater Boston personal chef and catering company launched in 2022 and bootstrapped to profitability before my mid-twenties. I pair my hands-on instinct with an unexpected academic background (a degree in Neuroscience and Computer Science from Boston University), bringing equal parts soul and scientific precision to every menu. Red Fennel Kitchen specializes in real, hand-cooked, fully customized meals for the busiest seasons of life: new parenthood, athletic training, demanding careers, and entertaining. I am known for a standard most services can't match: every meal is cooked the same day and in the client's fridge within the hour, packed in non-toxic glass rather than disposable plastic, with all leftovers composted and clients given direct access to the chef herself rather than an app. My signature New Mom Package, nourishing postpartum meals designed for fourth-trimester recovery, has become a meaningful alternative to flowers as a gift for new mothers. I am also an outspoken voice against diet culture and food-industry dishonesty, championing the belief that all food can be good food and that real nourishment comes from care, not performance. I write a monthly newsletter and share my recipes, menus, and philosophy with a growing community across Greater Boston. I have also been featured on NBC Boston and partner with The Climb Postpartum Support.

Founder of IngredientMD, a supplement intelligence platform powdered by most clinical data available. What's important, we communicate in language humans will understand instead.

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.

I’m Kristen, a PhD-trained consumer insights leader with deep expertise in the creator economy. Over the past decade, I’ve led research initiatives at Kellogg’s Company supporting top CPG brands like Special K, Cheez-It, and Morning Star. Most recently I built research programs for the top 100 food creators at Raptive where I gained firsthand insight into the food creator ecosystem and the challenges creators face. That experience led me to create Recifix — a cleaner, calmer way to find, plan, and share ad-free recipes, all while supporting the creators behind them.
