Who is Kim Pellegri?

I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). A Master Restorative Wellness Solutions Practitioner, a certified Apeiron epigenetics coach, and a CellCore Practitioner. I’m a very simple, easy-going, dog-loving, type of person. I love being outside in the sunshine. I love the beach and scuba diving. I am always educating myself. I am constantly taking classes and seminars so that I stay updated with the information that will help you and me survive and thrive in the world we live in today.

What I do is teach you how to do all things healthy. I look through the lens of potential for every client, including myself. This work is not always easy and it can take time to get to the root cause of symptoms. It is really like peeling the layers off an onion. Every layer reveals something new. You have to be patient and trust the process because you will start to see and feel the results over time.

My Story

It started my journey into herbalism in 1992, I went to the Rocky Mountain Center For Botanical Studies to study herbal medicine. I loved plants and I loved the fact that I could harvest my own plants, bring them home, and make my own herbal medicines, salves, teas & tinctures. It felt like such a gift to learn from herbalists like Susan Weed, Leslie Tierra, Rosemary Gladstar, and Brigitte Mars. I was living in Colorado and still in my 20s young and healthy.

I was an avid mountain biker; I hiked all the time and skied. I was having fun! I started having some nagging symptoms like back pain, a little anxiety, and the beginning of hormonal issues. I honestly didn’t know what to do about it so I kinda put it in the back of my mind. I knew my body was trying to tell me something but not really sure what. I started acupuncture and took Bikram’s yoga.I was trying to do healthy things and pay attention more to my symptoms and what I could be doing to make them better.

What I was doing did not resolve my symptoms & I couldn’t find the right help at that time besides a chiropractor. Functional medicine/holistic healthcare was not what it is today. The testing just wasn’t available. Even though I lived in communities known for herbalism and healing I wasn’t finding the right person or getting the relief I needed.

Around the age of 30, I started having constant back pain and headaches. I was seeing a chiropractor and doing Craniosacral therapy. My muscles were always freaking out and I still had aches and pains. My neck was now involved in the pain department. I tried all different forms of massage. I have been to muscle specialists and I was doing yoga and acupuncture and going to the gym. I was taking herbs but nothing ever got me to where I needed to be. I just wanted to not have headaches and structural issues anymore.

Fast forward, I got married and had two kids. My hormones started going wacky after my first child and after my second child I ended up having to have a hysterectomy. The years before the hysterectomy sucked, to say the least! Not one of the multiple doctors I saw ever tested my hormones. In Functional medicine we test hormones, it is foundational to what we do.

I was still going to the chiropractor all the time because my muscles and my aches and pains would never go away. So many doctors and so many years later and after many conventional lab tests. I was still told I’m healthy and all my labs are normal. So on my list of complaints were migrating aches and pains, headaches, muscle weakness, fatigue, freakin hormone issues, and my neck always needed to be adjusted. I could go on and on. I was tested for Lyme and it was negative. I was being ignored and offered anxiety meds. The doctors didn’t know what to do, that’s why I was being ignored!

Nobody EVER asked about nutrition or sleep, where I traveled or how my gut health was, or how I’m pooping. Nobody EVER did any comprehensive blood work or even if any blood work was done I swear it was never looked at.

I tried to find help but I just could not find the right help again. Nobody could get to the root cause or causes of what the heck was going on with me because nobody ever looked or listened to me or knew how to ask the right questions.

Clearly, I needed more education.

I found The Nutritional Therapy Association and started my Journey into Functional Medicine. I have done a significant amount of work on myself. I identified with some help from some amazing functional med doctors and teachers, where my imbalances were. I corrected those so my body could heal. I got to the root causes. I identified in multiple areas where and why I was having so many symptoms. It has been a long road, to say the least. I have learned so much over the years and really want to help people feel better. Depending on who you are and your circumstances and how much you’re willing to put into your health and lifestyle changes, you can be healthy too!

I am still taking certification courses all the time. There is always something to learn and to get better at. If you want to talk about food, biochemistry, parasites, epigenetics, specialty labs, comprehensive blood work, or environmental toxicity that’s me! I love talking about health and how you can achieve precision wellness and avoid the consequences of modern-day diseases because that’s the ultimate goal. I have a passion to live an abundantly healthy life and want to be able to share my knowledge and give people the ability to do the same. You just have to trust the process!

I will never stop learning, mostly because science gets better and better and the testing gets better and better each year. I love taking classes! The human body is amazing and complex and really fun to learn about. I will always stay up to date and provide precision healthcare using strategies to optimize your health in order for you to reach your most desirable goals. We are all so unique and what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another. Functional medicine is a bio-individualized approach. I develop your unique roadmap to health so that you can live the life you want and be happy and feel good doing it.

What I do

I have a very deep passion to be part of the movement to change the current health paradigm by moving people away from the disease model. Just teaching you about the foods you should be eating for your genetic code is profound. Teaching you about how much sleep you should get each night according to your genetic blueprint is foundational to your health and every other system in your body.

I have the tools to use so that we can dial in where we need to and create an ideal intervention and custom protocol for you. Continuous feedback and monitoring are how we achieve our goals. Imbalanced to balanced, an enhancement to optimize. This is precision health. This is what I have done with my health and my family. I have personally been monitoring my health with specialty testing and wearable devices, exercise, and of course supplements to achieve better health. I can teach you to do this and so much more.

I am working on my mindset. I am gaining wisdom and growth because I’ve learned it shapes the course of how we grow old, but it even extends longevity! Health is more than the absence of disease. It’s how we influence it. This is where science is today. Meditating for 10 minutes a day has a significant impact and can help you achieve your goals faster. You have to adapt and try new things even if you’re not familiar with the things that I will recommend.

We talk about food, blood sugar, exercise, sleep, digestion, pathogens, viruses, toxins, heavy metals, poop, hormones, supplements, fatty acids, and a whole lot more. We also go into brain health and everything you can do to optimize it and keep it healthy. I do this all by testing.

I can teach you about epigenetics and how the life of our daily environment informs our very genetic expression. Then I will teach you what precise steps that you need to be aware of or do more of or less of to achieve the results you want. I eliminate the guesswork and personalize it based on your needs. I use specialty testing, then empower you to know how to take consistent inspired action so that you can achieve your most desirable goals.
