She is the founder of Cutting Edge Wellness, where she specializes in helping individuals optimize digestion, restore gut health, balance hormones, and regain energy through personalized, science-backed nutrition strategies.

Early in her career, Kristine trained under Dr. Mark Hyman at Canyon Ranch, where she gained expertise in functional medicine, gut restoration, and anti-inflammatory nutrition.

She firmly believes that true health starts in the gut, and she integrates cutting-edge research in microbiome science to design personalized healing protocols for her clients.

At Cutting Edge Wellness, Kristine works with individuals experiencing a range of health concerns, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Using advanced diagnostic testing, she helps clients identify underlying imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and food sensitivities that may be contributing to their symptoms. Her approach is holistic yet evidence-based, blending functional nutrition with lifestyle medicine to promote long-term wellness. Kristine's expertise includes gut health and microbiome restoration, healing digestive imbalances and optimizing gut function for overall health; anti-inflammatory nutrition, reducing inflammation through tailored dietary strategies; hormonal balance and metabolism, supporting thyroid, adrenal, and hormonal health for improved energy and weight management; and nutrigenomics and biochemical nutrition, understanding how genetics and biochemistry influence individual nutritional needs.

Kristine's mission is to make gut-focused, functional nutrition the gold standard in health care, empowering individuals to take control of their well-being at every stage of life. She believes that with the right knowledge and nutritional support, the body has an incredible ability to heal itself.
