Kelly Taliaferro, RD

Hi there! I'm Kelly, a Registered Dietitian with over 12 years of experience and a passion for helping people transform their health through nutrition. My private practice focuses on delivering evidence-based, personalized care tailored to your unique needs and symptoms.

When you work with me, you can expect real, actionable solutions that fit into your daily life. I believe in listening to my clients with compassion and providing care that is not only effective but also truly personalized to you. I believe in meeting you where you are and empowering you with the tools to take control of your health.

My primary focus is gut health, especially Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I’ve undergone specialized training at MONASH University, the gold standard for IBS care, and have a deep understanding of how to manage this complex condition. In addition to IBS, I can also help with other gut-related issues such as GERD, Celiac disease, microscopic colitis, and food allergies. Beyond gut health, I offer support for Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome (SNAS), diabetes/prediabetes management, vegan/vegetarian nutrition, heart health, and weight loss.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree and completed my dietetic internship at the University of Texas at Austin, and I earned my Master’s in Business from the University of North Texas. In 2024, I enhanced my expertise with training from MONASH University, focusing on IBS management. I’ve spent six years specializing in nutrition counseling, combining my clinical knowledge with a personalized approach to help my clients achieve their health goals.

After spending time in the management world, I realized my true passion was working directly with clients. I went into private practice so I could provide care where results are the rule, not the exception. My drive to specialize in IBS and gut health stems from my own journey—I was misdiagnosed with IBS for 13 years before finally getting the right answers. I know firsthand the impact of living with gut issues, and I’m committed to helping others receive better care and support than I did.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me hiking the scenic trails around San Antonio or dancing through a Zumba class. I’m a true foodie at heart and always have a list of new local spots to try. Fun fact: I’m obsessed with Tajin and chamoy and keep tiny bottles in my purse to spice up any drink on the go!
