Following completion of her degree, she chose to follow a close passion of hers by pursuing a Master's degree in applied nutrition at Sage Graduate School in Upstate New York. Combining her dual degrees to promote the overall wellness of others became her primary focus as a practitioner.

In Practice:

With over a decade of experience, Katie has had the privilege of supporting thousands of patients using a combination of comprehensive labs, supplement protocols and lifestyle improvements to uncover the root cause of inflammation, autoimmune disease, irritable bowel syndrome, food sensitivities and more chronic disease states.

Family:

Katie's exposure to functional medicine started at a young age. When she had a cold, her mother, a compounding pharmacist, sent her off to school with Echinacea and vitamin C. Her father, an exemplar dentist, further guided her as she searched for newer paths to achieve overall wellness as a competitive athlete and uncovered her passion for optimizing the body. She later realized it was her parents’ wisdom that would evolve into the mantra she shares with her patients: “The stress around food and lifestyle is often worse than the food or event itself. ”

 

Family has always been the most important thing to her. A question she often asks patients is what is the why for them. What brings them joy and why do they want to put in the work to regain their health and wellness? And the answers are transformative. Katie's why is her husband, her son and her two beautiful dogs.
