Hi, there! I am registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist. I have extensive experience working in the field of endocrinology and have special interests in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). While diabetes and insulin resistance are my "bread and butter," I work with a variety of other conditions as well. Whether you are trying to figure out what foods to eat to preserve your kidney function, trying to reverse the progression of fatty liver, trying to improve your cholesterol values, or simply trying to learn more about nutrition and improve your relationship with food, I am here to help!
I like to conduct nutrition therapy using a weight neutral approach, however; I can be flexible with my approach depending on your individual goals and health conditions.
We will spend the first session getting to know each other. We will review your goals, medical history, any recent lab work, lifestyle factors, and typical eating patterns. I love reviewing lab work, so please feel free to upload a copy of your labs to the portal for me to review prior to/during your appointment.
My hobby is enjoying the simple things in life. I love listening to music and podcasts, enjoying a cup of coffee on my porch (when weather permits), drinking a glass of wine with my best friend, eating dinner with my parents on Sundays, and snuggling with my cats at the end of each day.

Hi there! I'm Kelly, a registered dietitian with over ten years experience promoting wellness and treating chronic conditions, especially diabetes and prediabetes. When I'm not helping people fuel their bodies right, you'll catch me knee deep in homesteading adventures - getting dirty in the garden, tending to my animal crew, and finding novel ways to live off the land.
As a real food focused dietitian, my purpose is to guide individuals on the path to wellness by harnessing the incredible potential of nature's bounty, fostering self-sufficiency, and reducing reliance on the modern medical system. My approach to care is patient-centered and collaborative -- it's all about you! I’m here to support your wellness journey through personalized and tailored conversations and strategies that resonate with your unique needs, values, and goals.
In our first session, I'll be learning a lot about you! I'll be asking about your health, nutrition, lifestyle, and goals to complete a thorough nutrition assessment and lay the foundation for your personalized care. As a team, we'll explore your goals and develop practical, realistic strategies to achieve them. I'll provide some initial nutrition education to empower you with the information you need to make informed choices and suggestions for first steps you can start implementing right away. By the end of the session, you'll have a clear understanding of your goals, personalized strategies to achieve them, and motivation to embark on your health journey.
Homesteading, gardening, cooking, preserving, animals. PC video games are my favorite entertainment and guilty pleasure!

Helping people with <Condition> find the best dietitian

I am not just a number on the scale. My dietitian takes into consideration so many things that aren’t even related to my weight, which I had never realized were contributing to my health.

Lucie

So happy I found Nourish! I started working with Stephanie a couple of weeks ago and she has been amazing! I really feel like she’ll be able to help me fix my gut after years of not being able to eat so many types of foods because of IBS and SIBO. Stephanie is very experienced, knowledgeable and very caring. I highly recommend her!

Angela L

<Condition>

Since that first meeting, my dietitian has completely changed my view around food. I’ve been able to work with her to find out which food, patterns, and other factors influence my stomach pain.

Balina

Nourish has helped me improve my numbers on my blood results and taught me so much about how I can maintain healthy food choices without making large sacrifices in what I like to eat.

The Nourish app is easy to use and the doctors are very helpful, understanding and professional! My first appointment with Vanessa Schiffelbine was amazing! She’s really sweet and attentive and didn’t waste any time, she gave me the tools to get my gut health back. I would highly recommend this app 10/10 🥰

Romaim P

I’ve been working with Lauren for about 2 months now & we’ve made so much progress! With her help, I was finally able to get diagnosed & prescribed medication for my IBS. She helped me navigate a flare up & get in contact with a specialist. She also helped advocate the seriousness of my chronic illness to my gastrointestinal specialists. She truly does go above & beyond in her treatment; in both, emotional & physical treatment. I’m excited to heal my gut & start exposure therapy with new foods soon!

I’ve been meeting with my Nourish nutritionist, Chelsey, for about four weeks now. She’s great to work with, has tons of helpful resources, understands my goals and my challenges and comes to each session with a casual, but productive mindset. The platform is easy to use. The virtual appointments are very convenient and scheduling/rescheduling is easy. Billing to my insurance was easy to set up.
Allison G

<Condition>

I'll be honest. I was skeptical of trying this on app that I saw an ad for on social media. But I was able to verify my insurance was accepted beforehand so I thought it was risk free to try. Scheduling was easy. Done in minutes. App worked without technical problems. When I spoke to the dietician, she was so professional and knowledgeable. And a real person! I've already scheduled follow up appointments and I'm not stressed about the financial piece of things since I got that covered before my initial appointment. Pretty cool experience!
Michael B

<Condition>

This process worked out awesome. I was hesitant to give my insurance and card info but it worked out great. My insurance covered the entire cost and my nutritionist Dani was great. I am very active and was injured and lost, she was able to coach me through improving my eating habits and improve my food intake completely. Sidenote; implementing her guidance not only helped me it had a trickle down effect for the entire household.
Jessica W

<Condition>

Nourish has paired me up with a knowledgeable (she's fantastic) dietician. We not only discuss the science of food but the behavior surrounding it. I have tried several nutritionists before, and haven't had much luck. I gain so much knowledge but also habit building principles that empower me to make better choices. The service itself, is easy to use and offers the right amount of tech to support positive outcomes. And not to mention, my insurance covers it.
Becky S

<Condition>

Absolutely amazing company. My dietician is such a gem. She’s friendly, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and sincere. I get many tips, suggestions, and feedback. She actively listens; what more could you ask for. My sessions are 100% covered by my insurance! I feel better and more confident about my health choices and journey now.
Ashely G

<Condition>

I was not expecting such a positive experience with Nourish. I’ve been meeting with my dietician for about a month now, all completely covered by insurance. $0 out of pocket. She has given me some great tools focused around intuitive eating that have really helped with my body image and overall nutrition. I will continue meeting with her. It’s been a very positive addition to my week.
Erica T

<Condition>

I was unsure about working with a dietician at fiest, but working with Lauren has made a world of difference in not only my outlook on my physical health, but my relationship with food, movement, and mindfulness when it comes to what I nourish my body with. I'm so glad I met her and was able to work with her for as long as I did. I would still if my insurance allowed it! Thank you Lauren for helping unpack my health journey with me!
Chris C

<Condition>

It's so stinking easy to find a great dietician, tell them what you eat, and then try the thing they suggest. Most doctors I've seen just want to throw medicine at me, but the dietician and I both agree it's not always the first answer. rather dietary changes, however, should be. Also ITS COVERED BY INSURANCE MAKING IT A NO BRAINER.
David A

<Condition>

The first thing Nourish does is verify insurance coverage. They determine copay so there are never any guesses. After every submission to insurance, they send me an email letting me know my session was covered. That’s great! My dietitian, Ashley Wing, is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, engaging, and encouraging.
Debbie P

I decided on Nourish since they take insurance and to guide me in my weightloss efforts. My experience with Hilary has been a Godsend! She is very knowledgeable and ive learned alot. Also, very helpful and not pushy. She gives me goals to meet which is very good for me! I want to continue my journey to reach my better eating habits and weightloss goal. Im a tough candidate since i have Lupus and RA but Hilary works well with my situation and I appreciate her!

She's the reason I have hope for the future of my health again. I can't say enough good things about this service and my provider. 10/10. Even after about a year, I see her every 2 weeks. I hope there's never a time when I can't.

I have type two diabetes since I’ve been with Nourish. I have been educated on things that I can eat that I didn’t know I could being a diabetic. They answer your questions if they’re able to .They are very informative I’ve been with a nutritionist that didn’t help much. I’ve been on a program with a very high protein very low carb that was making me sick, and since I’ve been with Nourish, I have lost weight. I am able to eat a balance diet. I love this program ,always here to help you! I’m excited to be on this program.
Rachel B

<Condition>

I’ve been a diabetic for the last 10 years and having a diabetes specialist is priceless. She has taught me so much about my habits and breaks things down for me that my endocrinologist doesn’t have time too. Nourish made it so easy to find someone and meeting virtually is invaluable AND it’s completely covered by my insurance. Love it?
Jazmine H

<Condition>

My counselor has given me wonderful tools that have helped me manage my newly diagnosed diabetes. I feel more confident in my food choices and my ability to understand how my body reacts to food. She has made this serious life change less intimidating than it was initially. During every session, she has given me advice and encouragement that I can use to be in control of my Diabetes. I look forward to our meetings. The Nourish program is wonderful!
Linda M.

Amanda listened to what I was saying and was able to set my goals up and also advised on what I could do to help with any physical struggles I am having. This was a great experience!
Patti T

<Condition>

As a night nurse who transitioned to a day nurse, my eating habits were atrocious! I would eat everything that was quick and easy and fast because that was all we had time for. Hanna is teaching me that nutrition can be as good as fast foods but much more nutritionally beneficial for my age as I hit the big “60”! And I’m starting to feel better already! Less bloating and lab work is improving but still not where I need it to be. Thank you Hanna C. for all your patience and help!
Sis L

<Condition>

I turned to Nourish after being told by countless doctors that I should just "get used" to my hormone cycle. I was so lost and upset. I found a good match for a dietician in Nourish, and she helped me find solutions to most of my health problems within two weeks. It's been life changing.
Jeanette O

<Condition>

I work with a registered dietitian, Patti, who is an absolute gem. She is able to take my dietary needs into consideration when helping me figure out a meal plan for myself. She is quick to find what needs to be adjusted and quick to verbalize what I’m doing well. I look forward to our sessions! The best part is my insurance covers the cost of our sessions 100%. I pay nothing out of pocket.
Cassie K

<Condition>

My nutritionist is super helpful and really listens. She helps me understand everything and not only gives me a plan of action but the full reasoning behind it. Great platform, highly recommend.
Megan L

Since starting my sessions with Kristina Schmidt I’ve been able to hold myself more accountable. She’s helped me with my meal planning, and where I should focus my goals. She’s so encouraging and I love that she’s so engaged and her background makes this process easier. Her guidance makes me feel unstoppable. I’ve been able to set short and long term goals. Each session with Kristina I feel I grow my knowledge . Highly recommend!!!!!
Claudia M

<Condition>

I like Nourish. Working directly with a dietitian to talk through my eating habits, relationship with food and exercise and finding more balance and consistency. I have tried all kinds of “calorie deficit” approaches to weight loss, I am working with my Nourish Coach to help me break out of “good/bad” dichotomy and trust myself to listen to myself to what is healthy for me after years of dieting. The best part is that Nourish is covered by my insurance and they did all the work to make sure I was covered, so I only pay a copay. I see Nourish as a long term partner to help me stay consistent and healthy despite the ups and downs of life.

My dietician, Tracy, is the absolute best. I am so thankful for her. Her knowledge. Her compassion, and he support, and belief in my ability to succeed. I have been very over weight nearly my whole life, and I never felt like I would actually make it. Well, I have been using Nourish for 18 days, and checking in with Tracy weekly. I am losing more faster than I ever thought possible. My heart is so full!

I love my nutritionist, she’s the most down to earth helpful ally in my self healing journey.

She has recommended me multiple useful resources and doesn’t make me feel ashamed about having binge eating disorder but she’s helping me heal from it and more.

I feel so lucky to have been connected with my nutritionist, Tanya. I had neglected my physical health for over ten years due to difficulty with my mental health and general ambivalence toward any weight loss goals. The reason I chose to try out Nourish is because, at age 29, I finally had the courage to take an honest look at my physical health and, after I got some lab results back, I learned that I had to make some serious lifestyle changes to reverse my PCOS and pre-diabetes diagnoses. Tanya provided me with so much helpful information regarding nutrition, but above all, she met me where I was at with lots of compassion and positive reinforcement.

I feel like Katrina Detter listens to me and answers all my questions while also making sure I understand. She’s also the first person to explain PCOS to me and how it affects my body in a way that is easy to follow . She also makes changing my lifestyle very easy.

How Can a Nutritionist Help Improve Gut Health?

Research shows that a person’s overall eating pattern, rather than individual foods, has the greatest impact on gut health. Western diets, consisting of meat, refined carbohydrates, and low intakes of fruits and vegetables, can result in more harmful gut bacteria associated with chronic diseases. 

Poor gut health, known as having too much harmful bacteria in your digestive tract, has been linked with conditions including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. 

If you regularly experience gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, like upset stomach, constipation, diarrhea, gas, or bloating, there may be foods in your diet contributing to these concerns. A registered dietitian can help you understand how your food choices impact your gut health and the balance of bacteria in your digestive tract. 

Your dietitian will take a detailed history of your GI symptoms, eating patterns, lifestyle habits, and medical history to help identify the best diet to optimize your gut health. This will be individualized, as many factors can influence the gut microbiota. Working with a GI doctor to identify any underlying medical causes of your symptoms is also important. 

In addition, a dietitian can help if you’ve been diagnosed with a specific GI condition, like irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or celiac disease. These conditions each have evidence-based nutrition therapies to help relieve symptoms and reduce the frequency of flares. 

What is gut health?

Gut health encompasses the optimal balance of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the integrity of the gut lining. When the balance of these microorganisms is disrupted, it can lead to various health issues, including digestive disorders, immune system dysregulation, and even mental health concerns.

How Much Does a Gut Health Nutritionist Cost?

On average, an initial consultation with a dietitian costs around $150, though this can vary based on location and state. Since GI health is a specialty area, some dietitians may have higher than average rates. 

Does Insurance Cover a Nutritionist for Gut Health?

Most health insurance plans cover nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian. It’s important to check your specific plan because some only cover dietitian services for certain conditions. For example, Medicare does not cover medical nutrition therapy for gut health or digestive disorders. 

You’ll also want to ensure you select a credentialed provider, as “nutritionists” are often not covered by insurance. Look for practitioners with titles like “registered dietitian (RD)” or “registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).” 

What are the Best Foods for Gut Health?

Research shows that a person’s overall eating pattern, rather than individual foods, has the greatest impact on gut health. Western diets, consisting of meat, refined carbohydrates, and low intakes of fruits and vegetables, can result in more harmful gut bacteria associated with chronic diseases. 

On the other hand, the Mediterranean diet, rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins, is associated with improved gut health. This eating pattern is rich in fermentable dietary fibers found in oats and barley. Studies show these fibers help increase the types of gut bacteria associated with health benefits. 

The Mediterranean diet also contains high amounts of foods rich in plant compounds called polyphenols, which can help shift gut bacteria to a healthier balance. Berries, green tea, and nuts are good sources of polyphenols.

In addition, including probiotics and prebiotics in your diet can benefit gut health. Probiotics are found naturally in fermented foods, like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut, and are also available in supplement form. Prebiotics are compounds in certain foods like onions, asparagus, and oats that help feed the healthy bacteria in your gut. 

Increasing fiber can often worsen symptoms if you have certain GI conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. Talk to your doctor and dietitian about the best intervention for your GI symptoms. 

The impact of exercise on gut health

Regular physical activity has been shown to support a diverse and beneficial gut microbiota, as well as reduce inflammation in the gut.

Stress management techniques for a healthier gut

Practicing stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, and spending time in nature can positively impact gut health.

Adequate sleep for gut health

Prioritizing good sleep hygiene and ensuring an adequate amount of sleep each night is essential for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.

When to consult a nutritionist for gut health concerns

Individuals experiencing persistent digestive issues, chronic inflammation, or seeking to optimize their gut health can benefit from consulting a nutrition professional.

The role of a nutritionist in optimizing gut health

A nutritionist can assess an individual's dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and health concerns to develop personalized nutrition plans that support gut health.

How Can I Heal My Gut Naturally?

Generally, a diet rich in minimally processed plant foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, plant proteins, and healthy fats, can help improve dysfunctional gut microbiota.

Gut health is a complex area of research still in the early stages. It is impacted by genetics, diet, and environmental factors like medications, stress, and diseases. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to healing your gut. 

Many individuals online make health claims about nutrition and gut health that are not evidence-based. Coordinating with a GI doctor and a registered dietitian ensures you get the most current and accurate information on gut health. 

Personalized nutrition plans for improved gut health

Nutritionists can create tailored meal plans that incorporate gut-friendly foods, probiotics, and prebiotics to address specific gut health needs and optimize overall well-being.

Prioritizing gut health is essential for maintaining overall well-being. By understanding the factors that influence gut health, recognizing signs of poor gut health, and implementing nutrition and lifestyle practices that support a healthy gut, individuals can take proactive steps to optimize their digestive health and enhance their quality of life. Seeking professional guidance from a qualified nutritionist or dietitian can provide personalized support and empower individuals to make informed choices for better gut health.
