I enjoy working with both individuals and groups to discover new ways to meet their goals, on topics including heart disease, diabetes, reducing inflammation, PCOS or uncovering the mysteries of the food label and the grocery store. I am determined to show others how easy it can be to incorporate whole foods in the processed environment in which we live. I know first hand how challenging meal planning and meal preparation can be especially with working full time and having two school aged children to balance the every day time restraints.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.

I am a plant-forward dietitian who loves to make healthy eating simple and satisfying. My counseling style is supportive, practical, and judgment-free. I know it can be difficult to make healthy choices while surrounded by convenience foods that are quick, affordable, and tasty - especially when healthy foods are associate higher costs, longer meal prep times, and a lack of flavor. That's why I take the time to truly listen and help you understand nutrition in a way that fits your life, culture, and health goals. My approach focuses on realistic changes, not perfection, so you can build habits that last.

I am NOT here to be the food police, or tell you everything you are doing wrong with your eating. I started KT Nutrition with the goal of helping my clients challenge their negative beliefs about food in order to reestablish a healthy relationship with their own body. Our body is our most powerful ally in determining what and how much we need to eat, and unfortunately modern diet culture attempts to sever this relationship with shakes, pills, and other unhelpful "lifestyle changes". I believe that we reach our own optimal health and happiness when we are in tune with what our body needs, not what society tells us it needs.

Many of the people I work with are living with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions and feel frustrated by ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, pain, digestive issues, brain fog, or food sensitivities. Often, they are following healthy advice but still don’t feel well. I help clients make sense of these patterns and understand how nutrition and inflammation are connected in their own bodies.

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is medical nutrition therapy?
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) involves the use of personalized dietary changes to prevent or manage chronic conditions. Typically conducted in an outpatient setting by a Registered Dietitian (RD), MNT aims to address specific health issues through tailored nutrition plans. Clients are often referred for MNT by healthcare professionals who identify conditions that could benefit from dietary and lifestyle modifications, such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease. The goal of MNT is to improve overall health outcomes by making adjustments to the client's diet based on their individual needs and medical conditions.

What conditions is medical nutrition therapy for?
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is often used for individuals with diseases caused or worsened by poor diet, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and cardiovascular diseases. However, other conditions can also benefit from nutrition therapy. MNT is typically not intended to replace other treatments, such as medication, but rather to complement them. By improving a person's overall diet and health, MNT aims to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms and complement other treatments.

Is medical nutrition therapy covered by insurance?
Medical nutrition therapy is frequently covered by insurance. However, insurance coverage can vary based on factors like your specific plan details, whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network provider, and whether you have a referral for nutrition services based on a medical diagnosis. While a referral is not required to see a dietitian or nutritionist, and many individuals independently seek nutritional support without prior medical advice, a referral from a primary care physician or another medical professional may be necessary to obtain coverage for medical nutrition services. In such cases, a referral is typically made for those who have been formally diagnosed with a medical condition requiring nutrition counseling, such as diabetes or hypertension. Coverage also depends on the type of nutrition service. Typically, insurance plans only cover services provided by a licensed Registered Dietitian (RD) and do not cover those offered by nutritionists or nutrition coaches without the RD credential. If nutrition services are not covered by your insurance, some dietitians and nutritionists may offer sliding scale rates or lower-cost services for clients who cannot afford their full fee.

What does medical nutrition therapy involve?
The approach a dietitian will take in a medical nutrition therapy session will depend on a number of factors, including what conditions the client has and what the goals of the client are. An initial session often involves an assessment of the client's overall health and current dietary intake; a dietitian may also speak with a client's medical doctor prior to or following a first session to obtain information on the medical condition(s) the client is seeking nutrition therapy counseling for. The dietitian will then work with the client to create goals of medical nutrition therapy sessions, such as weight loss, eating a more plant-based diet, or reducing sodium intake. Then, in ongoing sessions, the dietitian will work with the client to meet their stated goals. These ongoing sessions often include menu planning and coaching, which involve the dietitian working with the client to develop strategies for a healthier and more balanced diet. Dietitians may suggest recipes, put together grocery shopping lists, and/or recommend tracking one's intake in order to help clients make desired changes.
