Author, Recipe Developer & Nutrition Educator
Hello, I’m Katey Lyon.
I’m the founder of Healthy Recipes Guide, where I help people simplify healthy eating through easy recipes, practical meal plans, evidence-informed nutrition guides, and beginner-friendly cookbooks.
I believe healthy eating shouldn’t be confusing or overwhelming. Small, consistent changes can have a lasting impact on your health, and my goal is to make those changes easier by providing practical advice you can apply in everyday life.
Whether you’re looking to reduce inflammation, improve blood sugar, eat more plant-based meals, or simply cook healthier at home, you’ll find recipes and resources designed to help you succeed.
My Story
Like many people, my interest in nutrition began through my own health journey.
Over the years I explored different eating patterns while managing weight changes, digestive health, blood sugar concerns, and thyroid issues. I quickly discovered that lasting health isn’t built through restrictive diets or unrealistic wellness trends.
Instead, long-term success comes from balanced nutrition, simple recipes, realistic meal planning, and sustainable habits.
That experience inspired me to create Healthy Recipes Guide and write cookbooks that make healthy eating approachable for beginners.
Education & Training
My nutrition education includes:
- Complete Nutrition Diploma (CTAA Accredited)
