Kim Shackleford, Nutritionist
Her focus is on providing whole, nutrient dense foods as the key elements for more energy, to stabilize sugar cravings, to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, improved sleep, reduce allergies, be less symptomatic, reduce body fat and continue down the path of anti-aging and optimizing health. She increases vitality by supporting the body’s chemistry and flooding it with the nutrients it needs to repair, detox and balance. This is a synergistic approach to the whole person rather than masking symptoms.
Kim obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, later graduated from Nutritional Therapy Association, also became certified as a GAPS Practitioner as well as receiving a certification to utilize expanded functional lab testing to evaluate underlying root causes of each person’s physiology to help them get well.
Kim’s passion for a much deeper level and proactive approach to health began when her son, Kanaan, was born with down syndrome. He is her greatest joy and teacher. She was a national level athlete for years and is an NPC State Judge. In her free time, she enjoys resistance training and a full spectrum of other type workouts, cooking, exploring healthy restaurants and dancing.
