As I grow older, I realize I want to help adults and older adults continue living their best lives. My ideal client is someone who doesn’t judge themselves by their chronological age, but wants to live healthfully and simply needs the right tools, guidance, and confidence to inspire both themselves and their families.
I describe myself as a specialized generalist—I know a little about a lot. I enjoy working with adults and seniors and can relate to many of the challenges they face, as I’ve experienced many of them myself.
Kendall is currently accepting new patients and would love to support you on your food journey. Appointments are available virtually and in person, are covered by insurance, and include complimentary 15-minute phone consultations to help determine if we’re a good fit.
Call or Kendall Shanks now for a free 15 minute consultation - (813) 590-1238
