Meet Kay Balkunas, RD, CDE
CERTIFIED IN Integrative and Functional Nutrition!
FOOD IS AT THE ROOT OF ALL CHRONIC DISEASES
Hello! My name is Kay and I have been a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator for over 20 years.
I decided at age 10, after meeting a dietitian during a brief hospital stay, this was my calling. Over the years I have worn many hats in the field, including chef, clinical dietitian, bariatric dietitian, Diabetes Educator, pediatric/ family dietitian, nutrition adviser for the Olympic track team and functional nutritionist.
I attended SUNY-Oneonta and received my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics followed by a year long clinical internship and numerous masters level classes in Medical Biology at Long Island University. Moving to Savannah, I opened my first private practice for 9 years and have now been doing the same in Connecticut.
My patients deserve an individualized plan based on their lifestyle (epigenetics) AND their genetic (DNA) makeup. I have been a provider for NUTRIGENOMIX since 2018, having personally tested my genetic makeup, learning so many things about my caffeine metabolism, vitamin metabolism, gluten sensitivity , metabolism, exercise etc.
This has allowed me to tailor my diet for my GENES and I have reaped the benefits since.
Let me know if you are interested in doing the same!
I practice what I preach and would love to help you achieve your goals without dieting, but by making educated choices and eating intuitively for your lifelong health and well being.
We accept all major insurance policies:
