About Karen

Hello. My name is Karen Bukolt, MS RDN CSOWM CDN. I became a dietitian a little over 7 years ago after a few different careers. I have always been interested in nutrition and health, growing up as a chubby kid and the impact that had on me. I have been a vegetarian for over 30 years. That being said, we are not all meant to be vegetarians but I would say we all need to eat more plants. My goal is to help you be the best version of you. (CSOWM - Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management)
