I’m a mom, creator, comfort-food remixer, professional chaos coordinator, and someone learning how to rebuild life one protein bowl at a time.
After losing over 160 pounds while navigating injury recovery, surgeries, chronic pain, and real-life chaos, I created Andrea Unfiltered and The Real Damn Kitchen to share the things that actually helped me survive it all: high-protein comfort food, realistic wellness, humor, healing, and a whole lot of sarcasm.
My daughter is the center of my world, and so much of what I create, cook, recommend, and build comes from trying to make life safer, easier, more comforting, and more joyful for both of us. As an autism parent, I know real life isn’t always neat or predictable, and neither is this space. Around here, you’ll find real-life parenting, sensory-friendly favorites, recovery-friendly meals, honest conversations, and reminders that perfection was never the goal.
This isn’t a “perfect influencer” space.
It’s real life, unfiltered.
Welcome to the Real Damn Family. ❤️
