ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Steph Carson. I am the health and science loving foodie behind The Real Peel.

First and foremost, I believe good health is the most valuable form of wealth. Without your health it’s hard to fully enjoy all other aspects of life, right? Here is the best part: It’s not "all-or-none". Adding little healthy habits to our daily routines can have a big impact on overall well being and long-term health. 

This is why I try to live a life of balance, moderation, and finding what makes me feel my best. I enjoy all foods in moderation, but my love for plant-based foods is real. I also love being active, warm weather, grocery shopping and a fresh day planner. If I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me busy at work, working-out or spending time with my family and friends.

Growing up I was always amazed by the power of real food and physical activity. However, I developed a true interest in nutrition after learning about the science of human health and the role lifestyle plays on health outcomes while I completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences. I began to look at nutrition, physical activity and healthy living as an investment, a proactive solution that can help reduce the burden of chronic lifestyle-related diseases and help improve quality of life. It became very clear that this was my passion and I had to learn more. In 2013, I completed a Masters of Science in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences. 

Now I want to share my knowledge with you and bring nutrition to life.

I created The Real Peel to inspire healthy choices and to show you that a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be boring or bland. It can be full of colour, flavour, energy, and excitement. Healthy living is exactly that, living! I hope to make it easier for you by sharing simple recipes, tips and tricks that work for me. 

Come find what works for you!

Happy peeling!
