GiGi (Genevieve) Ashworth is a popular allergen-friendly, ketovore-centric food personality, also known as, The Salmon Queen. She also happens to be a two-time best-selling cookbook author and has her master’s certificate in Nutrition Communications from Tufts University and her broadcast journalism degree from The University of Colorado, Boulder.
GiGi cannot eat wheat, grains, dairy, gluten, sugar, nuts, eggs or fruit. She also has Ulcerative Colitis, IBS-C, and doesn’t have a large intestine. That being said, she doesn’t see her complications as a death sentence. She turned her limitations into extensive knowledge and now tries her best to help others see life with overcoming illness from a glass-half-full perspective.
People regularly seek advice from GiGi’s platform (including all topics pertaining to salmon, traveling with food intolerances, and/or autoimmune diseases, and/or simple nutrition questions, and/or parenting/relationship advice) and also chow down on her allergen-friendly / clean keto diet-approved recipes that everyone can enjoy. She is described as having an infectious, no-bullshit, hilarious, trustworthy, salmon-loving personality.
GiGi has garnered the attention of many, which led to her authoring her first book, She Does Keto, an informational cookbook on the ketogenic diet and why it’s beneficial for women (also contains 115 recipes). GiGi has been living a ketogenic lifestyle for the last 20 years before it was even a “thing,” and researches this way of eating on the daily.
GiGi’s second book, Seduced By Salmon, was published two years after her first, thanks to her audience’s desire to have all of GiGi’s knowledge about salmon and a multitude of drool-worthy recipes in book format.
As a devoted fitness enthusiast, a rather blunt and light-heartedly vulgar diehard allergen-friendly foodie who has been dubbed the Salmon Queen thanks to the fact that she eats roughly ten pounds of salmon a week and has been doing so for the last ten-plus years, she has been told that she is proof that you can educate and inform as well as entertain all at the same time!
