Speaker Biography – Andrea Katz
Andrea Katz is not your typical wellness speaker. She’s an integrative nutritionist, solo parent, and founder of Best You Nutrition – a business she built while navigating the loss of both parents and becoming a mother at 43. Having grown up in sports, she was once a Canadian martial arts champion. Her expertise in gut health and hormone balance is matched by real-world grit, and her work helps women in midlife and mid-career stages to harness health as a strategy for clarity, resilience, and high performance. Andrea is living proof that women can do it all – when their energy isn’t just protected, but prioritized.

“Andrea presented to our membership in the fall of 2022. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the area of digestive health. Andrea delivered the material with ease, made the group comfortable to engage with her, and generated a lot of dialogue with the members. The members valued the time spent with Andrea and took away information and tools they could apply to their own health and well-being.”
