Kailah MS, RD, CSSD

My path to digestive health nutrition began through my work in performance nutrition and eating disorder care, where I saw firsthand how intertwined GI symptoms can become with the way we eat, fuel, exercise, and ultimately feel about food.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with athletes and individuals navigating reflux, abdominal discomfort, food intolerances and allergies, altered appetite, and other persistent digestive symptoms. I saw how easily these concerns could lead to under-fueling, unnecessary restriction, fear around eating, or the feeling that someone had to choose between managing their symptoms and adequately nourishing their body. Those experiences deepened my passion for digestive health and strengthened my commitment to helping patients find relief without sacrificing nourishment, flexibility, or enjoyment.

My background in performance nutrition taught me how profoundly adequate fueling can influence the way the body functions, performs, and recovers. My experience in eating disorder care taught me to look beyond symptoms and consider a person’s relationship with food, their behaviors and fears, and the impact that restrictive recommendations can have. Together, these experiences shaped the way I approach GI nutrition today.

I’m passionate about working with individuals navigating GERD and other GI concerns because digestive care should be about more than avoiding a growing list of foods. I want my clients to understand what may be driving their symptoms, recognize the factors that influence them, and learn how to nourish themselves in a way that supports their digestive health without making food feel increasingly complicated.

What matters most to me is that my clients feel heard and supported. Nutrition is deeply personal, and there is rarely one strategy that works for everyone. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Ultimately, I want each person to find strategies that genuinely fit their life and leave our work together feeling more comfortable in their body, well-nourished, and confident around food.
