Celebrity Dietitian, Author, Health & Lifestyle Contributor
Ashley Koff is an internationally-renowned registered dietician who is on a mission to help people get healthy by bringing quality eating into every home. With television appearances, print and online contributions and a new book, Koff’s goal is to educate the public on “Qualitarianism.”
Koff’s “Qualitarian” philosophy is founded on choosing to eat the highest quality food available. By choosing organic over non-organic, non-GMO over GMO, preservative and artificial ingredient-free foods and beverages, the body gets what fuels it optimally, while avoiding what can do it harm. Committed to helping consumers, healthcare practitioners and the media easily identify products that contribute to a healthy lifestyle and created The Ashley Koff Approved (AKA) Lists, a tool to help people identify products that meet a high standard of nutrition, and marketing integrity. A desire to get the whole story on what we eat from production to cultural influences in our food system has also prompted Koff to travel the world, going to the source of foods like sugar and salmon.
