Elisabeth Carson
Chief Operating Officer
Elisabeth Carson (formerly Elisabeth Hoekstra) is the Co-Owner & Chief Operating Officer of 4BiddenKnowledge Inc, the co-founder of the 4Bidden Conscious Awards, the founder & host of the popular podcasts Bio-Hack Your Best Life and Just a Gem, and the author of the best-selling book The Recipe to Elevated Consciousness. Recently, she teamed up with Olivia Smith to both co-write the book The Mother Earth Effect, and to create the women's mentoring program Elysian Elegance.
The Korean American had been successful in several trades before becoming the renowned entrepreneur she is today. As a model and actress, she can be found in several nationally syndicated television programs, movies, music videos, and magazines. In the culinary world, she served as a sous chef under one of the top pastry chefs in the country, worked at several prestigious venues including Oakland Hills Country Club, and helped to open and operate the award-winning restaurant Otus Supply, in 2017. In 2018, she was named exclusive real estate agent for a statewide campaign, breaking all records for securing the most offices in the briefest time.
With success, came her passion for philanthropy. Through hosting fundraisers and advocacy, she has contributed significantly to nonprofits focusing on children’s health & education. But “giving back” didn’t stop there. Seeing how stress takes its toll on people’s mental and physical well-being, led her to work and quickly become the President at a holistic wellness center, where she applied her business knowledge and connections from previous careers.
Today, Mrs. Carson’s journey to help others continues. She reminds everyone that continual mental and physical self-care and education is important. Elisabeth’s studies include attending Davenport College for Business Management & Marketing Administration, earning a Baking & Pastry certification from Schoolcraft College, a real estate license, a certificate in Cell Biology focusing on Mitochondria from Harvard X, and she is currently enrolled in both the Neuroscience program at Harvard University, and Brain Health studies at Amen University.
