Kristen Cortazzo

About Kristen

I have been an Integrative Dietitian in South Florida since 2018. Being born and raised here; I love the ocean and staying outdoors in nature. I have two young children that keep me active and inspired to maintain my own health and wellness, but like many, it has not been a "straight line" to health. I like to remind my clients to have grace with themselves on their own journeys, and to stay with the ebbs and flow of life and their bodies. As a busy mom and partner I try to stay innovative, creative and flexible when it comes to nutrition, physical movement, spending time in nature and self-care. I believe these factors equally play a pivotal role in our health and wellness. I enjoy educating my clients on topics such as integrative nutrition, intuitive eating, the microbiome, and Health at all Sizes (HAES). I enjoy bringing my own personal experiences into my counseling to let you know that we are all working on something, and that everyday can be a new day.

Approach to care

I take an integrative, "Food is Medicine" and "Lifestyle Medicine" approach to my counseling. I work to understand where you are on your health journey, get familiar with the factors that contribute to your current health status, and help you navigate your health concerns with personalized recommendations and tools. My goal is to equip you with knowledge and insight about your unique body and health; to build trust in your own decision making; to foster life-long confidence that you can fall back on anytime you need it. I want to build rapport and trust with you so that our sessions always feel safe, inspiring and productive, and also so you know that no matter how long it's been between our sessions, or where you are on your lifespan or health journey; you can always reach out to me for support.

Your first session with Kristen

Our first session will allow us to get to know each other, and get a clear vision of how I can help you moving forward. We will dive into your health history, food beliefs and lifestyle, and understand your health obstacles as a whole. We will work together to create an action plan that feels authentic and attainable to you, and give you a clear path towards the goals you wish to achieve together. This is also a great time for you to ask me any questions, allowing you to feel confident that we will make a great team. At the end of your first session; my goal is for you to feel capable and confident and one step closer (even a baby one), to an empowered and better feeling you.
