Kathy Skalka

After being diagnosed with Lupus in 2020 and not having her health get better after a year of medicine, Kathy came across a whole-food, plant-based doctor online and made a life-changing decision to fully commit to that lifestyle.  Today Kathy is off all medicine, her lab numbers are within the normal range, and most importantly she is able to fully function and feel like herself again.  

Experiencing firsthand the powerful impact food choices can have on overall health inspired Kathy to pursue a new path.  She enrolled at IIN and became a Certified Integrative Health Coach.  Through her company called Take Back You, LLC, she began to help others with their health.  

As she worked with clients, Kathy discovered an even greater passion: empowering people in the kitchen by teaching them how to prepare nourishing, delicious meals for themselves and their families.  This passion led her to become a licensed Food for Life Instructor through the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.  

Kathy is absolutely thrilled to show others how simple, nutritious food can not only taste amazing, but also help people thrive in life, not just survive.
