I'm Katie - nice to meet you!

I'd love to share my story with you :)

Katie Ruffino aka Sunnysidekt

I've Trained in Regenerative & Functional Medicine as a Physician Assistant (PA-C)

Katie has known since she was a young girl that food = medicine. She explored this concept by using food to heal herself and understood how food affected her mind and body. Once she discovered the healing powers, she was eager to share the teachings and lessons with everyone.

Thus, Sunnysidekt was born.

What started out as a recreational food blog to post her creative recipes and fun memories in the kitchen, then became a passion project that Katie knew was destined to be a platform for inspiring change. She connected with a community of others struggling with their health and learned from wellness experts who were steps ahead. She loves learning and growing and aims to guide people along their journey to optimal health just as she had been.

Through her medical training at Marquette University and a plethora of courses in nutrition and functional medicine, she has gained the knowledge and expertise to guide others with a holistic approach. She educates on the importance of the daily choices one can make to take care of oneself, which emphasizes nutrition.

“What we consume, food and information, becomes who we are physically, mentally, and energetically. The internal conversations we have with ourselves daily influence how we feel. When our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all in alignment, we can live harmoniously. Let it all be in love.

”Katie’s passion is in “Cura Personalis”, caring for the whole person, and she strives for her patients to feel loved and cared for in every encounter. She practices lifestyle medicine and motivates her patients to take action in their own health journey so that they can work as a team to reach the same goal of optimal health.

The Start of Sunnysidekt

Katie has known since she was a young girl that food = medicine. She explored this concept by using food to heal herself and understood how food affected her mind and body. Once she discovered food's healing powers, she was eager to share the teachings and lessons with everyone.

Thus, Sunnysidekt was born.

What started out as a recreational food blog to post her creative recipes and fun memories in the kitchen, then became a passion project that Katie knew was destined to be a platform for inspiring change. She connected with a community of others struggling with their health and learned from wellness experts who were steps ahead. She loves learning and growing and aims to guide people along their journey to optimal health just as she had been.

As Katie evolved, so did her instagram platform.

She went from primarily sharing recipes and cooking tips to posting about mindset shifting, energetic healing, and more. She found a deep calling in sharing about more than food. The more she healed herself, the more she realized that healing is beyond the physical body.

She discovered that healing comes from who you are at the core, being able to fully know, understand, and embody your truth, and release any stories that are not yours to cary anymore. Her platform is now a place to be inspired, entertained, and deeply moved through the process of their own healing journey. Katie's page is a memoir of her journey coming home to herself, too. She primarily shares about her travels around the world, life lessons, mindset shifting, recipes, root causes of healing, and more.

Katie knew that what we consume is still a very important part of our wellbeing, and she knew that the majority of people lack of education about how to properly take care of themselves. Thus, she created Katie In The Kitchen - an interactive cooking interview series in which she interviews people about their life and connection to food while cooking together. See the link below to watch on YouTube.

Katie is grateful to have had multiple mentors in her life who have helped guide her along her journey towards being her most authentic self and continue to inspire those around her and her clients.
