Kelsey Kempen, RD

Hi!  My name is Kelsey Kempen, and I have been a Registered Dietitian for over 5 years.  I received my Bachelor's Degree from University of Wisconsin - Stout, and my Master's Degree and internship at Saint Louis University.  

My interest in nutrition started at a young age when one of my family members was hospitalized.  A dietitian came in to educate him on how nutrition could help him improve.  That was fascinating to me - that food truly could be medicine!

I have worked as an inpatient dietitian for the past 5 years, so I have worked with clients with a variety of health concerns.  My approach during my one-on-one sessions is to create a "judgement-free zone" using open-mindedness and humor.  Humor is a big part of my life, and I love to incorporate it into my sessions.

What I hope my clients get out of sessions with me is an advocate and cheerleader for them.  Nutrition shouldn't be something to be scared of - we do it everyday!  I use an individualized approach to make my clients feel seen and heard.

In my free time, I'm usually going on walks, exploring new breweries, reading, and relaxing with my family.
