it was through my own struggles that I became interested in the work i do today
Hi, I’m Katrina! I am a Registered Dietitian, Functional nutritionist, and Women’s Health Specialist.
I was prescribed birth control at age 15, just a year after I had gotten my first period. I wasn’t in pain, my cycles were regular, and I didn’t have bloating, back pain, cravings, or acne. So why was I put on the pill? Because one time I got a headache during my cycle. That’s all it took for the various forms of the magic “cure-all” pill to become part of my daily routine for the next 15 years.
The year I was prescribed birth control, things got weird. I started experiencing unexplained reoccurring UTIs (at least 5 per year) for which I was prescribed antibiotics each time. In the following years, I developed tons of bloating, indigestion, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia. I was freezing ALL THE TIME and had no idea why.
A few years later, my periods got HEAVY. I was in excruciating, debilitating pain that sometimes actually made me pass out. I developed acne, I was so irritable and my mental health issues continued to get worse.
After being let down by doctor after doctor who couldn't give me answers, and wouldn't listen to my concerns, I decided to seek out answers on my own.
I discovered functional medicine and dove head first into learning everything I could in an effort to heal myself. Taking a root-cause, whole-body approach really changed the game for me.
Over time, I was successfully able to heal myself naturally from all of the things doctors told me I never would. The acne, anxiety, gut issues, fatigue, heavy periods, indigestion, bloating, insomnia, and feeling cold all the time.
And then I made it my mission to help others do the same.
At kmd nutrition, I work with clients to help them get to the root cause of their symptoms and heal from the inside out.
