Kristina is a Clinical Pharmacist* and Certified Nutrition Specialist. After years of working in the medical field, she pursued post-graduate studies in nutrition with the goal of helping others live a balanced life and feel their best.

Her passion for health, fitness, and wellness began with her diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in her teen years, and later on becoming almost bedridden. Lying helplessly in bed with medications that weren’t working made her realize the importance of taking care of oneself. Her goals have changed over the years beginning with controlling her PCOS to later competing in a fitness bikini competition. With each goal, proper nutrition was essential. However, the hardest part was taking the first step. Read more

    I had been exercising four to five days a week and considered myself in great shape, but there was one problem. I was struggling to lose those last five stubborn pounds. That's when I decided to turn to Kristina for her expert advice. She created a personalized nutrition plan for me, and she also provided me with an exercise routine and schedule. She tracked my progress every week, making minor tweaks to my meal plan to ensure I would not plateau. Seven weeks later I lost six pounds, which was one pound more than my goal! I recommend Kristina's services to anyone who wants to lose those last few stubborn pounds, get back into shape or maintain a healthy weight.

    I sought the help of Kristina after I had undergone surgery for breast cancer and started taking Tamoxifen. …

    … She looked over my questions and approximated how much time it will take her to answer all my questions and gave me a price estimate. I was fine with her estimate so I gave her the ok to proceed.

    After receiving her responses, I was impressed with how detailed her responses were and how she directed me to credible articles regarding the topics I brought up to support her recommendations. … After I received all the information from Kristina, I discussed everything with my physician per Kristina's recommendation. With all the information Kristina gave me, I now feel more confident that I can make better choices when it comes to selecting food that's best for my situation.

    I first came to Kristina when I was having bad allergies. She told me to eliminate certain food as they may be causing the allergic reaction. We did an elimination diet and she recommended what type of foods to eat and supplements to take. It only took a few days to see results!

    Kristina not only helped me get back on track with my diet, but she also helped get rid of my allergies! She is a very encouraging mentor. I still continue with the diet plan and I'm so happy with my results! I lost a few pounds, got rid of my allergies naturally and feel so much healthier :)
