Gena Hamshaw Biography

I’m a certified clinical nutritionist a food writer and a passionate vegan. This blog is a chronicle of my adventures in the kitchen a community-driven celebration of nourishing food and a space in which I sometimes share thoughts on disordered eating animal rights and nutrition science.
I was a book editor when I started this blog in 2009. Before too long I had obtained a certification in clinical nutrition (C.C.N.) from NHI college and was contemplating a full-time shift into health care. Between 2010 and 2014 I completed a pre-med post-bacc degree at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. with the intention of going to medical school. That didn’t come to pass but the experience led me back to my true passion: nutrition. Now I’m working toward my nutrition master’s at Teacher’s College Columbia University so that I can ultimately become a Registered Dietary Nutritionist. In addition to my part-time student life I run my nutrition practice which is designed to help men and women around the world find wholesome healthful and satisfying relationships with food.
I’ve written about plant-based lifestyle for VegNews O Magazine Whole Living Daily and Food52 among other online and print publications. I also curate and publish a series called Green Recovery which features the narratives of men and women who have found peace and healing from eating disorders with the help of plant-based diets. In 2014 I published my first cookbook entitled Choosing Raw. It is a tribute to the raw food recipes that have enriched my life as well as a no-nonsense nutrition primer for those who are curious about vegan and raw food diets.
