Kris Barrett is a nutrition and health coach who supports other families going through the same process she did. She uses her experience as the mother of a boy diagnosed with autism to guide families through the lifestyle changes they need to make. In 2005, she was fed up with the difficulties of finding safe, delicious food for her youngest boy, who had multiple food allergies and intolerances. She started “Allergy Friendly Foods” to import and distribute the kinds of ingredients that fit her own son’s special needs.
And through this process, she learned first-hand the power of food and the gut/brain connection. Her son’s life changed, and he lost his autism diagnosis. She started Nourish Me, a coaching service, in 2011 to help others receive the same help she lacked when she was dealing with her son’s diagnosis.
Now, as a certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach, a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and a Certified GAPS practitioner Kris’s passion has become telling her story, and helping other parents understand how they can achieve the same result for their own lifestyles and families.
