MEET KARI — FUNCTIONAL GUT HEALTH DIETITIAN
I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Kari Natwick, and my passion is helping women find gut health empowerment. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP), and Certified Gastrointestinal Nutritionist (CGN), I specialize in guiding women through the maze of persistent digestive issues. From bloating, constipation, and diarrhea to gas, reflux, and abdominal pain, I'm here to create a personal roadmap for your gut healing.
My journey toward this field wasn't just professional — it was personal. Battling my own autoimmune thyroid disorder, digestive woes, and mold toxicity, I intimately understand the hurdles of managing chronic health issues.
My approach is not just about treating symptoms; it's about holistic healing. I delve into the intricate relationship between the gut and brain, recognizing the profound impact it has on our overall wellbeing. Through functional lab testing, a personalized gut-healing program, and education, I guide my clients toward improved wellness, increased energy, and hormone balance.
My mission is simple: to empower you on your path to vitality. I believe in creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and uplifted. When you take charge of your gut health, you're not just restoring balance in your body — you're reclaiming your energy to pursue your passions.
Witnessing the remarkable transformations of my clients fuels my passion every day. Together, let's embark on a journey toward optimal health and happiness.
