Kristin Hancock

About Kristin

I'm Kristin, a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and a Physician Assistant (specializing in gastroenterology) with a passion for helping people live their best lives. I specialize in working with those that rely on tube feedings for their nutrition because of cancer, dysphagia, or weight loss. I also work deeply with those with long term gut issues, specifically Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, SIBO, and celiac disease. If you’re struggling with digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, or feeling overwhelmed by restrictive diets, I’m here to support you. My ideal clients are those who are ready to ditch long-term restriction and fad diets, uncover the root causes of their symptoms, and embrace a more balanced, sustainable approach to health. Whether you’re new to exploring functional nutrition or have tried everything and still feel stuck, I meet you where you are and guide you toward lasting change.

Approach to care

My main focus is to get your brain and body to work together on the same “team” again. To do this, I first want to ensure every client feels heard, validated, and empowered both in session and out of session. I practice from an inclusive, weight-neutral, Health at Every Size framework. I believe you and your wellbeing are more than just numbers. In my care, you will never work towards physical health at the expense of mental health. In session, I incorporates elements of intuitive eating, mindfulness, and somatic healing because healing your relationship with food also means healing your relationship with self and body, too.

Your first session with Kristin

In our first session together, my goal is to really get to know you. We'll take a deep dive into your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and any past experiences you’ve had with nutrition or medical care. I want to understand your short-term needs and long-term goals so we can create a personalized care plan that feels both supportive and sustainable. Together, we’ll map out what our work together will look like—including how often we’ll meet, what topics we’ll focus on, and how I can best support you on your journey toward better health.
