Kristin SchaeferMS, CNS, LDN

Kristin’s approach to nutrition is grounded in lived experience and empathy. After navigating her own challenges with bipolar disorder and disordered eating, she discovered the power of nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle to transform health from the inside out. Now pursuing her PhD in Clinical Nutrition, Kristin brings both scientific rigor and real-world compassion to every session. She’s especially passionate about supporting those with mental health conditions and helping them explore alternatives beyond medication.

Kristin creates space for her clients to feel seen, heard, and supported, especially when things feel messy. She listens for what’s going on underneath the surface and helps you build not just a plan, but a support system you can rely on. Her style is personal and present, she remembers what matters to you and brings it into each session with care. Whether you’re working on hormones, mood, or metabolism, Kristin meets you with curiosity and trust in your ability to heal.

• Understand the whole picture: Kristin starts from scratch. She helps you uncover how your biology, habits, and environment are all connected, so your plan reflects your real life, not just your symptoms.
• Nervous system first: Mindfulness, nature, and stress management aren’t just add-ons, they’re core tools she weaves into every plan.
• Personalized from the root: Using labs, lifestyle data, and your goals, Kristin builds a fully tailored strategy that evolves with you, and fits into your daily life.
• Dream big, work backward: She helps you name the life you want, then break it down into doable steps depending on where you want to end up, no matter where you're starting from.
