Kyrstin (aka “Keeks”) is an integrative and functional dietitian who helps others love and eat food in a way that helps their health blossom. After overcoming her own trials with a diet-related illness and improving her relationship with body image and food, she realized how important a full-body approach was in the pursuit to finding long-lasting health. Kyrstin enjoys using her skills to help others overcome autoimmune disorders, improve gut health, and create a healthier connection with food.

        Kyrstin has been working in the healthcare industry since 2014, after completing a 4-year degree in nutrition and foods with a focus in dietetics at Appalachian State University followed by her dietetic internship through Meredith College. She has experiences working one-on-one with patients through Telehealth, and within Duke systems, as both a clinical and outpatient dietitian, teaching nutrition classes and programs throughout North Carolina and nationwide.

        When she’s not in her kitchen cooking up something delicious and nutritious, or babbling about the gut microbiome, you can find Keeks snuggled up with her two Tuxedo kitties, Ryce and Bean, or spending quality time with her bearded husband, Billy and three amazing kiddos, Jackson, Kaleb and Linden Blye.
