EP 220: Kids, autism, screen time and sugar intake
Kaitlyn Franken is a Board Certified Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Specialist with a Master's in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and a Bachelor's in Health Education and Behavior. What truly sets her apart is her personal experience. She understands how frustrating it is to feel like something is wrong in your body and not have the answers.
Kaitlyn was able to navigate and solve her own health issues after seeing doctor after doctor and was repeatedly dismissed being told that everything looked "normal." That's when she discovered functional lab testing and finally found the answers she had been seeking. She was dealing with undiagnosed SIBO, hypothyroidism, gallbladder dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, mold toxicity, and more. With the right data, she was able to piece together a plan and, slowly but surely, reclaim her health and her life.
Today, Kaitlyn uses that same data-driven and compassionate approach to support her clients. Whether they're navigating gut issues, hormone imbalances, mood or behavior concerns in their children, or simply trying to feel like themselves again, Kaitlyn is committed to helping uncover the root causes and build a clear, personalized path toward healing.
