About Me

Welcome, my name is Kristi - Dietitian by day, and Chef by night. A self-created chef-titian (yes, I made that up). I have been working for over 10 years as a dietitian, constantly digging into the nutrition research while also finding fun, creative ways to help people incorporate it into their lives.

​

My interest in nutrition started as a college athlete, while my passion to help others find hope in improving their lives with nutrition and cooking sparked through my own personal experience and counseling others.

​

After completing my Master's degree at NIU, I have worked the past 10 years in outpatient healthcare doing 1:1 nutrition counseling, teaching and creating nutrition classes, writing blogs, creating menu's and handouts, and teaching nutrition cooking classes with culinary medicine. I have also worked with many athletes for sports nutrition, including GVSU and DU athletics.

About Me

I grew up watching the food network and have always enjoyed cooking and trying new cuisines. I love being able to take the challenge of helping people incorporate their nutrition goals and make it a reality (a reality that is not boring steamed broccoli and boiled chicken every night).

​

I believe food can be our medicine and have seen many clients reduce the need for medications, feel better, and lose weight. 

​

Having a healthy lifestyle can prevent 80% of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes and 40% of cancers. That's powerful! The effect of food as medicine is clear. Let's take back some control over your health together.
