Holistic Nutritionist Who Believes
We need to stop normalizing fatigue, surviving on thrice-reheated coffee, and pretending we’re doing so great when we’re crashing on the inside.
It’s fine. You’re fine. Everything’s fine…right?
Hi, I’m Kim Perez
Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Holistic Nutritionist
As a nutrition practitioner for moms who’s also a mom trying to run a business, eat well, stay strong, go on her silly little mental health walks, and take care of everyone else while trying to remember who the hell she is throughout it all, I can promise you this:
If it’s not practical, there’s really no point.
For the record, I’m as mad as you are about that. But unfortunately, motherhood just isn’t compatible with hours of elaborate meal prep, sacrificing your already-limited sleep for 4 a.m. workouts, or supplement stacks that leave no room in your grocery budget for the 48 lbs of fruit your kids somehow consume each week.
You don’t just deserve a mom-friendly approach to health — your life requires it.
- Having the same (energy-boosting, blood-sugar-stabilizing) breakfast on repeat
- Dropping your weights mid-set to pry the remote out of your toddler’s mouth
- Wondering if you’ll ever have the energy for sex again, in the 20 whole minutes between the kids’ bedtime and yours
And it doesn’t mean you’re doing a bad job!
It just means that you’ll need a holistic nutritionist who can help you account for your real life, instead of ignoring it.
As the mom of two boys, I’m not just saying I get it — I get it in a sleep-deprived, time-crunched, “Buddy, I said we don’t climb the fridge” kind of way.

MY BACKGROUND
MY APPROACH
Habits aren’t “good” just because you can sustain them — they also need to sustain you.
In my experienced (but still humble) opinion, there’s far too much emphasis placed on our ability to create habits, trying the latest ~biohack~, or the “workout that let me build 20 lbs of muscle in 20 minutes!” — and far too little focus on whether those habits are ones that will help us in the long run.
We need to aim higher than “surviving” phases of parenting and only feeling better in the short term.
Because unfortunately, they were right: this won’t last forever.
The real goal is to have the energy and strength to show up for everything now and that comes later, like picking up your grandkids, traveling in your 60s, still feeling like you in a few years — or decades.
The foundation we build here is what will carry you there (and as I always say, I want to be here for a good time and a long time — taking care of your body helps you have both).
My approach to wellness is as layered as your life.
- I’ll always take your health history into consideration, and look at the whole picture.
- I don’t make supplement recommendations just to make a sale.
- My approach always prioritizes pleasure — no foods, routines, or workouts you hate.
- I’ll never make you pick a side between “traditional” health and the “crunchy” stuff — there’s room for both
- I offer advice and strategies that fit into your real life as a busy mom
Hills I'll die on
Your kids’ leftover PB&J crusts and pre-tasted Goldfish don’t count as nourishing your body.
It’s not normal to always need a nap after playing with your kids for a few hours.
Taking the wrong supplements for your body is likely doing more harm than good.
Rest & pleasure are some of the most worthwhile acts of rebellion we can possibly pursue.
You can’t balance your hormones without balancing your blood sugar & minerals.
