Hi there! I’m Kelly — creator of A Girl Worth Saving, a space for real-life wellness, simple hormone-friendly meals, and a little backyard magic (yes, that’s me drawing body parts on potatoes to demo rash cream 😅).
I started this site years ago during a major health overhaul — after being pre-diabetic and feeling completely burned out. Changing how I ate (and thought) changed everything. I lost 65 pounds, kicked daily anxiety, and helped my husband finally ditch the constant heartburn. It wasn’t perfect. But it was real. And it worked.
At first, I focused heavily on Paleo and grain-free recipes. You might know me from Paleo Eats, my cookbook. But life evolves — and so has this site.
Today, you’ll find:
- Hormone-friendly, anti-inflammatory meals (goodbye bloat and burnout 👋)
- Beginner gardening tips from my suburban homestead in Oregon (Zone 8b crew!)
- DIY beauty + wellness hacks using what you already have
- And the occasional deep-dive into body stuff no one wants to talk about — but we should
My goal? Help you feel good in your body without a mile-long grocery list or giving up flavor (or fries).
I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband, our two boys, and Thunder the puggle, who snores louder than most humans. I’m so glad you’re here — I hope you’ll stick around.
