Kristine Bello, RD

I'm Krissy! Registered Dietitian, founder of Better With Carbo, and a recovering yo-yo dieter. After years of following every diet rule out there, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which changed everything about how I looked at food and health.

While earning my Master's in Functional & Integrative Human Nutrition, I learned that a lot of mainstream diet advice is outdated, misguided, and actually fuels the chronic inflammation behind so many of today's most common health issues like diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, depression, and autoimmune conditions (like MS!).

But I also learned the integrative and functional nutrition space has a restriction problem too. Suddenly any ingredient on a food label became something to fear even though most of us need premade and processed foods just to actually get through our week.

Once I became a mom, I made it my mission to debunk nutrition myths and help people build real, sustainable health in a way that's actually realistic. That means enjoying the foods you know and love, using packaged and premade foods without guilt, going out to eat without anxiety, and treating your body with respect (and no, that's not "woo woo." Gratitude genuinely lowers stress which is important for inflammation too!).

Work with me and you won't be handed a restrictive meal plan, a list of foods to avoid, or a grocery list full of ingredients you'll use once and never touch again. Instead, we'll build meals and snacks around foods that are satisfying and nourishing. I'm talking plates that work for your health, your taste buds, and your actual life. Together, we'll experiment with swaps that feel good, not forced, so that eating well finally feels sustainable instead of like one more thing to white-knuckle through.
