I’m a Registered Dietitian, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, and 12+ year specialist in women’s hormones, fertility, and the symptoms that never quite get explained. After nearly a decade directing one of the top health coaching practices in the country, I built Beyond Nutrition around one belief: that a functional, systems-based approach only works when everything... the labs, the nutrition, the supplements, movement, rx, peptides, the nervous system tools, lives under one roof, guided by a process... a SYSTEM that actually addresses every layer for real lasting results.

Welcome, I'm kristen
I do this work because I'm determined to change how healthcare is delivered. I know what it feels like to sit across from a doctor, and be told "everything looks normal" when you KNOW something is wrong. I know what it's like to be dismissed and try everything and still not have answers.
I spent a decade without a period, battled anxiety, gut issues, obsessive behaviors, and a body that felt like it was working against me, all while being a "trained dietitia"n who couldn't heal herself. When I finally found the root-cause work and process I teach today, it didn't just change my health. It changed everything. I became OBSESSED with diving deep into root cause medicine and I'll never look back.
Why I DoThis Work
That's why I built Beyond Nutrition
to give women the thing I couldn't find when I needed it most: a deeply personalized, whole-body systems approach that goes so much further than food.
One that pulls together everything under one roof - labs, nutrition, supplements, workouts, nervous system work, peptides and everything in between - with the EXPERTISE on how to execute for success. This work will help you heal physically, but also transforms you into the next 10x version of yourself. Because the real medicine is in being truly SEEN, supported, and guided through the kind of healing that actually lasts. To have a protocol that is a PROCESS that connects ALL the dots together, and a master practitioner who is able to guide you the whole way (hi, it's me!)

this is ALL you if...
you appreciate the functional medicine side of the equation AND the know your nervous system, stress, and mindset play a role in your health outcomes.
→ You understand that healing is both physical AND emotional.
→ You're willing to change your habits,
your relationship with food, and your relationship with your own body, not just follow a magic meal plan.
→ You're open to doing things differently than you have been;
you've tried the conventional route, maybe even a few “coaches” and now you're ready to go deeper than what’s been offered thus far.
You're here to become a completely different version of yourself. The 2.0 version: optimized physically, hormonally, mentally, and in life.
→ You're not just here to feel better.
→ You're a little woo woo and you're okay with that;
you believe in the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and you're open to healing on all three levels.
this is not for you if...
if you just want macros and a meal plan, there are coaches for that. We go to the root, and that's not for everyone.
X You're looking for surface-level help:
X You're not willing to be fully open and honest,
with us or yourself. This process only works when we have the full picture, and that requires vulnerability.
X You're not ready to invest in yourself
financially, energetically, or emotionally. This work requires all three and we want clients who are all in.
This is a lifestyle, not a prescription. We'll need you to particpate fully to see success.
X You want a quick fix.
x You're not willing to be an active participant in your own healing.
If you're expecting a 30-day transformation after years of hormonal dysfunction, gut issues, or autoimmunity, we're not the right fit. Real healing takes time and we'll be honest with you about that.
let's see if we're a good fit...
why work with ME?

i'm not just someone who has studied this work.
i'VE LIVED it.
For over 10 years, I had no period. I was a Registered Dietitian, trained and credentialed, and I still couldn't figure out what was happening in my own body.
I saw top specialists across Boston, Chicago, and Cincinnati. I spent thousands of dollars - acupuncturist, naturopath, gastro, you name it.
And every single time, I was told the same thing: "everything looks normal."
I was doing everything "right”, and I was falling apart. Gut issues, crippling anxiety, obsessive behaviors, no libido, running on empty. don’t get me wrong, I was happy on the outside, But had these shadow pieces of me that I was deeply struggling with on the inside.
when i finally discovered functional medicine,
and started addressing the REAL root causes, when I went through my first FLUSH protocol (that I now teach today), within 3 months, I got my period back After over 7 years. That wasn't just a health win. It was a complete rewiring of how I understood the body, healing, and what's actually possible.
The mentor I was working with, Vince Pitstick, I shortly after became a coach and the Director of Coaching and Education teaching the same systems to coach thousands of clients and coaches.
I am not your average health coach. I’m the one who is teaching the coaches you see on instagram. You’re not coming just to get a protocol, you’re coming here for a transformative experience and to go 10x deeper - to get answers and connections that you haven’t been able to find for perhaps decades. I work with the women who say “I have tried everything”…
My personal experience is why I can sit across from a client and say: I know what it feels like to not be believed. I know the frustration of doing everything you're told and still not getting better. And I know — with everything I have — that there IS another way. That's not something you learn in a textbook, a podcast, books. That's something you live. And it's exactly what I bring into every single client relationship - the opportunity for healing and deep transformation.
i'm obesssed with helping women, giving them a voice.
We run the right comprehensive assessments and labs. We look at the right patterns, we connect pieces through a systems based approach - liver/gallbladder, mitochondria, cortisol/adrenals, gut microbiome, insulin, blood sugar - these systems are critical to your reproductive health and it’s being missed in some of the most complex cases. We build a plan that's specific to your body, not a generic protocol pulled off a shelf. My clients don't just “feel better”. They finally understood what was happening the whole time. The transformations I’m talking about are possible for you too!
and you are not crazy. The problem isn't your body, it's that nobody has taken the time to actually look at the full picture. Most providers spend 15 minutes with you, run a basic panel, and send you home with reassurances that don't hold up. That's not a you-problem. That's a system problem.
What I do is different, and I say that because I built it to be. After 12+ years working with women whose hormones, cycles, fertility, and mystery symptoms had been written off, I created a process that goes where most practitioners simply don't.
you are not broken,
i want you to know something,
