Approach to care

My approach to care is a best practice, research-focused, personalized nutrition approach with interactive sessions to help you achieve your nutrition and health goals. I will provide you with resources including recipes, meal planning, evidence-based explanations, and personalized strategies. I will monitor your progress and provide constant feedback. I will expect you to complete logging assignments for accountability. My approach is to be there with you every step of the way.

Your first session with Kayellen

I will listen emphatically to your story, where you are at in your health and nutrition journey, what nutrition concerns you have, and where you would like to be. I will then look at your dietary and health habits like sleep, physical activity, work/life/social balance, review your labs, and determine your motivation/readiness to make changes. I will provide feedback and recommendations to get you started on improving your health.
