Arsy Vartanian is the author & chef of the paleo recipe & lifestyle blog, rubiesandradishes.com. Arsy has had a keen interest in food & nutrition since she was a teenager. Coming from a family with a long list of lifestyle related health conditions, she knew that she had to do something differently. Having a formal graduate level education in Sociology, Arsy was prone to question and think critically about mainstream approaches. She experimented with a variety of alternative nutrition practices, some improving her health, but mostly worsening it. Through this journey to achieve optimal health & wellness, she discovered Crossfit & the Paleo diet in 2008. Feeling like she hit a gold-mine, Arsy was feeling better than ever and was eventually able to recover from health issues that she had struggled with for almost a decade. Equipped with this energy and knowledge, Rubies & Radishes was born.

When Arsy is not busy at work or being a mom to her new baby, you can find her in her kitchen developing healthy recipes for her family and her blog readers.
