My mission is to help people achieve their optimal health using a personalized, integrative, and functional nutrition approach. Every client is unique and therefore requires a different road map to resolve their health challenge. My areas of specialization include digestive health problems, such as IBS, leaky gut, chronic bloating, and irregularity. Improving gut health also leads to improvement in hormone-related symptoms, weight management, mood imbalance, and skin conditions, which may be secondary health improvements when focusing on gut health.I started Kirkman Nutrition, LLC to empower people with evidence-based nutrition recommendations that can improve how they feel today and help them take control of their health. Nutrition science has evolved to show that everyone is unique in terms of their body's need for nutrients. My goal is to help people learn what their personal body needs to function at its best. This is done by determining the root cause of their health problems using thorough assessment protocols.As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I use a “food as medicine” approach. With a Master’s of Science degree in Nutrition, I utilize scientifically-backed data to support the personalized plan developed for each individual client. Pursuing advanced training to become an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner has allowed me to specialize in digging deeper into the root cause of health problems as they relate to nutrition, environment, and lifestyle.A stressful and busy life can have a negative impact on our health. By listening closely to my clients' health concerns and needs, we can work together to achieve better health through in-depth assessment, personalized nutrition, and lifestyle changes.
