About Me
Hey there! I’m Kelsey Essink, MS, RDN, LMNT, and I take a functional, root-cause approach to chronic conditions because I’ve been in your shoes. I felt stuck, lost, and desperate to feel better, with bizarre symptoms affecting multiple body systems. I was bounced from specialist to specialist, and nothing seemed to help.
It wasn’t until I tried a functional approach, discovered the root of my issues, and addressed them directly… that it worked! My symptoms were finally resolved and I had my life back. My goal now is to ensure nobody has to suffer the way I did. I’m here to help you uncover your root causes and develop a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan to support your healing.
