Kristina is a premier health coach and licensed dietitian-nutritionist with a functional and integrative approach. Kristina is especially passionate about a clean, whole-foods based, cyclical ketogenic approach to treat inflammation and restore metabolic health. She utilizes nutrigenomics data and other functional lab tests to assess what is best for your biology.  Her speciality is to combine detailed personalization with ninja-level implementation for your accountability and compliance so that you get the best results (since knowing what to do and then not doing it, doesn’t help you whatsoever).   Sessions with Kristina might include EFT, MB-EAT exercises, the Tiny Habits method and Heartmath to improve your psychology & behavior around food.

Kristina has a Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health from MUIH and is a Board Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) trained in the principles of the Institute for Functional Medicine. She studied FDN (functional diagnostic nutrition) with Reed Davis, and received her Health Coaching certificate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2013. She also completed her Brain Health Coaching Certificate with the Amen Clinics in 2013.

Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality, joy and wellness in body, mind and emotions. Nutrigenomics, an emerging science in the nutrition field, is the study of looking at our genetics and how it might inform the best nutrition plan. Kristina has specialized lab packages that take the guesswork out of deciding what to eat.  With a combination of nutrigenomics, stool testing and food sensitivity testing, she can craft a highly customized plan that is ideal for your unique biology.

Kristina has supported patients with the following clinical conditions (to name a few): Breast cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Glioblastoma, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Lymphatic Colitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Celiac, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Type I & II Diabetes, Crest Artherosclerosis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Psoriasis, Lymphoma, GERD, Insomnia, IBS, High Blood Pressure, Anemia, Hypothyroid, Panic Disorder, Depression, Bipolar II, and Metabolic Syndrome/Obesity. Conversely, Kristina also works with athletes and healthy individuals seeking to optimize their health and extend longevity and quality health span.

Despite becoming known as “The Keto Nutritionist,” the truth is, keto isn’t the best diet protocol for everyone. Due to my ultra-personalized approach, I recommend unique dieting protocols designed specifically for you and your body. That said, keto does make sense for many of my clients. But keto is far from the only thing I do.

In fact, the advanced testing I offer is a much better way to “summarize” how I can help. I have 5 main advanced lab tests I recommend to almost all clients to get a 1-of-1 view of your overall health and well-being. Those tests include:

1. Nutrition Genome
2. Organic Acids Test
3. New food & sensitivities
4. Heavy metals
5. TruDiagnostic

These tests unlock insights into your body and health to help you prevent disease, slow down the aging process, and become the healthiest version of yourself possible. Sometimes that means keto, sometimes it doesn’t.

Absolutely! Most of my clients originally come to me to help them simplify their weight loss journey. Thousands of clients have achieved their weight loss goals faster with less hunger pangs and frustrations by using my ultra personalized approach that focuses on the 0.1% that makes you, you.

At my office, I can test your Resting Metabolic Rate, which helps optimize your fat burning even when you’re resting! Plus, you can access my Tanita scale, which goes far past just looking at your body weight. The Tanita scale also analyzes and tracks other vital readings like your body fat percentage, hydration levels, muscle mass, BMR, visceral fat, body composition, and much more. And it does all this in under 20 seconds.

Tanita scales can cost upwards of $12,000, so please take advantage of this amazing high-tech scale.

You can’t offer personalized nutrition without actually knowing how to personalize each plan and protocol to your unique body. That’s where advanced lab testing comes in.

The main tests I use include:

1. Nutrition Genome — using the advanced study of nutrigenomics to prevent and reverse disease
2. Organic Acids Test — understand nutritional deficiencies you may have as it relates to metabolic pathways
3. New food & sensitivities — uncover which foods make your body come alive and which foods make your body sick and suboptimal
4. Heavy metals — test heavy metals in your bloodstream which may be causing you to become sick, fatigued, and diseased
5. TruAge by TruDiagnostic — discover how to age slower and even reverse the aging process by testing over 900,000 methylation markers

Besides these main tests, I also offer a Mold & Mycotoxins test for determining if mold or mycotoxins are the silent culprits undermining your health. And an Omega-3 Index test which measures the percentage of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in red blood cell membranes to reduce your overall inflammatory markers—the main culprit behind every disease.

My approach to nutrition and dieting is a 100% personalized and unique approach designed for your specific body, lifestyle habits, and more. Everyone has a slightly different genetic code, which is why keto may work for one person and a raw vegan protocol works for another.

I don’t impose any personal biases on you. With each client, I take several advanced tests to help create a plan that is not only easy to stick to, but that delivers the results you want—no matter what health problems are currently ailing you.
