A capacity-led approach to gut healing
I specialize in functional gut health that integrates advanced nutrition with nervous-system-informed care because the gut does not function independently of stress, safety, hormones, or daily life.
In practice, this means:
-
We build digestive and nervous system stability first
-
Supplements are used strategically, not excessively
-
Doses are titrated to your tolerance
-
Nourishment comes before restriction
-
Elimination diets are used only when necessary
-
Progress is measured by how your body responds, not by perfect compliance
-
Care is adjusted in real time — you are not handed a plan and left alone
This is gut healing designed for real bodies and real lives.
I help women with:
GUT HEALTH CHALLENGES
I work with women who have been diagnosed with IBS, SIBO, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, GERD, and EoE. I also work with women who have not been diagnosed, but have ongoing GI-related complaints, including diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and gas.
HORMONE IMBALANCES
If you’re experiencing PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances, hormone testing can help address the underlying cause. After testing, we’ll craft a personalized approach to restore hormonal harmony and foster overall wellbeing.
AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS
Whether you're struggling with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, celiac disease, or other autoimmune symptoms, comprehensive testing can illuminate the root cause of your health challenges. Then we'll collaborate to develop a tailored strategy aimed at addressing the autoimmune dysfunction, guiding you toward restored health and vitality.
Working on my health for decades, it was only until encountering Kari and her way of working that I finally found a path toward treating myself with sustained value. Kari has immense knowledge about protocols, supplements, and testing. But what really sets her apart as a guide is her way of helping to change one's way of thinking. This has been revelatory to me and has made all the difference. Brain fog, unneeded weight, exhaustion, undermining thoughts, and emotional malaise begin to fall away. This seemed at first like magic to me, but examining Kari's way of working, it all makes perfect sense. I highly recommend Kari Natwick, RDN, LD, IFNCP!

Kari is the only dietitian that I've worked with and she stands out from all my other providers (massage, PT, NP, Doctor, therapist) because she cares about all aspects of my life. She inquires about a range of topics from my stress level, emotional state, exercise schedule, sharing recipes, and eventually food intake. I felt cared for as the entire me not just my nutritional intake.

Kari is kind, gentle, understanding, compassionate, empathetic, and encouraging. In my experience with other health professionals, it feels like they're trying to get you in and out and kind of just glance at your chart. Kari was the first person to help me figure out what was wrong and care about it.
- Lexie
Kari helped me heal my gut in a really healthy and natural way. I no longer am concerned with if my body will be able to process food or not, and feel held back from activities because of something I ate. She helped teach me so much about health and nutrition, a skill everyone should know and have access to! I am a better, healthier and stronger version of myself after working with her!
