About Kimberly
Kimberly is a registered dietitian and nutritionist with over 14 years of experience. After experiencing personal health issues, she had to become her own health advocate. It was during this health journey that she discovered functional medicine which focuses on getting to the root cause of illness. This personal health journey sparked her interest in obtaining a master’s degree in functional medicine so that she may help others to get to the root cause of their health woes. She enjoys working with clients with a variety of health concerns - including heart health, women’s health, autoimmune disease, weight management, diabetes, and more!
Approach to care
Kimberly loves the quote by Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better." Kimberly is passionate about educating and empowering YOU to be the best version of YOU! While she believes conventional medicine has its time and place, she utilizes a patient-centered, holistic approach to help you get to the root cause of your symptoms. She believes that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself!
Your first session with Kimberly
The first session is a "get to know you" session. Kimberly will ask you what goals you hope to achieve from working together. She will also ask about your current lifestyle, medical history, symptoms, medication and supplement use, and any recent labs. She will actively listen to you without judgment, answer your questions, and provide guidance, education, and support while meeting you where you are in your health journey. Together you will come up with achievable, personalized goals to work on before the next session. If Kimberly doesn't appear to have any appointments available online, feel free to email Kimberly at kimberly.oswalt@usenourish.com to get scheduled!
