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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
