Founder, RD, and Women's Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner

Charleston

Kristen Morrell is a Charleston-based registered dietitian and functional medicine practitioner helping high-performing women become the authority in their own health by rebuilding trust in their body’s own signals. Her work is personalized and grounded in the belief that women have far more influence over their health outcomes than the current conversation reflects. She aims to reshape how women view health and sustainable vitality.

What would you say is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?

My greatest professional accomplishment has been building a respected health and wellness practice from the ground up while raising a young family and homeschooling. I earned my M.S. in Nutrition and became an RD while raising an infant, and completed both a certification program in Women's Integrative and Functional Medicine, and advanced studies in functional nutrition and herbalism while homeschooling. I am incredibly proud of the way I have built this business without sacrificing what matters most in life.

What one thing have you learned that has served you well over the years?

Putting myself first is by far the best thing I can do for my business and my family. As a woman it’s SO hard to do this, the guilt and “I should be's” come into play big-time. But when we put ourselves first in a way that truly resets us from a soul level, then we’ll have so much more of ourselves to give to everyone and everything else around us.
