Finding My Passion
​
Hi, I'm Kaitlyn and I'm thrilled you've come across my website! Growing up, sports were a central part of my life, thanks to my father's roles as head football coach and athletic director. However, it wasn't until my personal struggle and recovery from an eating disorder that I discovered my love for nutrition and decided to pursue a career as an eating disorder and sports dietitian. I help athletes and active individuals ages 15-40 fuel their body without a side of diet culture, specializing in disordered eating, eating disorders and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). My passion lies in helping others break free from diet culture, develop a positive relationship with food/their body and achieve peak performance.
​
I graduated from Michigan State University, where I was deeply involved in athletics, working in the athletic department and as a sports nutrition intern. After completing an eating disorder-focused dietetic internship at the University of Minnesota, I worked at a local eating disorder treatment facility in Minneapolis.
My recent work has included collaborations with the following:
