About Formative Nutrition

I work with women through every life stage—from restoring cycles to navigating perimenopause—using evidence-based, individualized care.

The word “formative” means shaping, developing, and building foundations—all words that capture how I view healing. Nutrition doesn’t just fuel the body; it shapes our hormones, our energy, and our relationship with ourselves. Formative Nutrition exists to help women rebuild that foundation with compassion and clarity—so health feels like something you grow into, not something you chase.

Hi, I’m Kelli—Functional Nutritionist, Hormone Nerd, and Women’s Health Advocate

Like many of my clients, my relationship with food and my body hasn’t always been simple. I spent years chasing “healthy” habits that left me burned out—dealing with PCOS, restrictive eating, and hormonal imbalances that impacted my energy, cycles, and fertility.

Functional nutrition helped me understand my body differently. It wasn’t about willpower or perfection—it was about connection, nourishment, and balance.

Before founding Formative Nutrition, I worked as a nutritionist for WIC and Nutrisense, experiences that deepened my understanding of both pregnancy and postpartum nutrition and the power of blood-sugar data. Supporting women in those settings shaped the practical, compassionate, and data-driven approach I bring to my work today.

Now, as a Licensed Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Specialist, I help women navigate similar struggles with compassion and clarity—whether they’re trying to conceive, balance blood sugar, or rebuild trust with food. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and at home in your body again.
