Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.

 I'm Kasey Lobb MS RDN, self-professed food nerd.

As a practicing registered dietitian nutritionist for over 25 years, I aim to heal with food. What we eat is powerful! For more that 16 years in my private practice, I have helped clients with food sensitivities and autoimmune diseases. It's been wonderful to witness how eating smarter changes lives. I love to cook gluten-free and dairy-free and  tolearn all I can about food.  
 

MY STORY

Even before achieving the usual age of midlife crises, I began to experience a crazy set of symptom; bloating, varied GI distress (unexplainable constipation and diarrhea), horrible periods, cystic acne, depression, joint pains, trouble sleeping, brain-fog, fatigue, back pain, and stress. My kids were very young and my mom had just died - I was in a hot, slow-burn crisis of inflammation. I struggled several years with medical misadventures searching for answers but was determined to identify and treat the root cause of my symptoms. My journey involved nearly a dozen medical specialists and hundreds of hours of study. I discovered how common food additives, gluten, and dairy products were contributing to major inflammation in me. Since then, my professional education has focused on Integrative and Functional Nutrition and Functional Medicine. I have now combined my health struggles, education, clinical experience, and passion to heal the root cause of inflammation.

TRAVEL

I follow a gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyle but can really struggle when traveling. Food allergies and sensitivities are an afterthought in the restaurant and tourism industry. It is often incredibly disheartening - not to mention hungry, situation! I’ve dined in the culinary capitals of the USA, Europe, and beyond surrounded by fragrant, gorgeous foods only to end up with a dry gluten-free cracker wrapped in plastic or if I'm lucky, sorbet. However, I have discovered chefs, restaurants, and hoteliers want to serve us with food sensitivities better! And with proper planning through our small group tours, they really do!
