About Me
Hi, I’m Kiersten Haugerud—a Registered Dietitian, fitness enthusiast, and advocate for sustainable health.
I firmly believe that true wellness doesn’t come from conventional medicine or weight loss injections—it starts with you. The power to heal lies within your daily choices, and my mission is to equip you with the knowledge and support to unlock your full potential.
My passion for health and nutrition began in high school when I struggled with my weight, constantly searching for a way to feel my best. I knew that restrictive dieting wasn’t the answer, but I didn’t yet know what was. In 2014, a friend introduced me to weightlifting, and from that moment, I was hooked.
In college, my curiosity about the human body led me to study science. I started with a broad focus in biology and even pursued an art minor (because art is therapy!), but I soon discovered my true calling—dietetics. Transferring to the UW-Stout Dietetics program, I fell in love with metabolism, advanced nutrition, and food science, realizing that nutrition wasn’t just a field of study—it was my purpose.
Now, with eight years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, my passion for metabolic health has only grown. I never imagined running my own practice, but I found myself researching metabolism in my free time simply for fun. That’s when I knew—this is more than a career. It’s a mission. In today’s world, being unhealthy has become the norm, but my goal is to change that. I want to shift the culture of wellness and make health the standard. Even if I only leave a small impact, I know it will be a lasting one.
