It is undeniable that a strong connection between a diet and health exists. She previously worked at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, FL, as a consultant for multiple departments, including the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cath Lab, Nutrition Services, and Operating Rooms.

Kristina is certified by the Board of Nutrition Specialists, a member of the American Nutrition Association and a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine.

She’s also a Certified Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Medicine (IIN) and hold a ServeSafe certification.

Her approach is science-based and her consultations start with an extensive initial assessment (including physical assessment, dietary review, symptom, regular and functional lab reviews*, supplement review, and drug-nutrient interactions) and lab tests to give us a full picture of each client's nutritional challenges. We take
into consideration your current medical condition, nutrition objectives, and information from a set of functional tests to give us the critical insights
about your body and how it handles nutrients.
