Katie Stewart is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and founder of Katie Stewart Wellness—where healthy skin starts from within.

Before launching her wellness brand, Katie spent 14 years in television, working with Hockey Night in Canada and as an on-air location host for a lifestyle magazine show. But behind the scenes, she was quietly battling stubborn acne that no cream or cleanse could fix.

Determined to find answers, Katie went back to school to study holistic nutrition. What she discovered changed everything: breakouts are often a reflection of what’s happening inside the body. That led her to develop The Five Acne-Clearing Pillars—gut health, detoxification, hormonal balance, emotional well-being, and nourishing skincare.

Today, Katie and her all-female team walk clients through The Clear Skin Solution—a 6-month program combining personalized nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle support to help women feel confident in their skin again.

She also hosts The Clear Skin Chronicles, the #1 Nutrition Podcast on Apple, sharing expert insights and stories to empower women from the inside out.

As a podcast host, Katie uses her platform to share her story and inspire women to reclaim their health and confidence. Acne once dominated her life, but by taking control, she turned it into a force for good—empowering women to glow from the inside out.
