- Health & Fitness
Kristin obtained her Doctor of Nursing Practice, Masters of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner focus, and is a Registered Nurse. She is also an entrepreneur, functional and lifestyle medicine guru, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and lover of everything health and wellness!
Passionate about taking a Personalized Medicine approach, Kristin focuses on uncovering the root cause of chronic illness and disease. Taking into account her patients lifestyle, diet, genetics, environment, and stress, each treatment plan is unique and individualized.
Kristin has been serving and caring for patients for over 10 years. She strives every day to provide high quality care by doing everything with compassion, integrity, and above all a serving heart.
Kristin founded STAT Wellness, which stands for Strength To Achieve Total Wellness, to help transform medicine. Statistically, as a society, we are getting sicker and sicker. At STAT Wellness, we want to partner with you to help you not only look your best but to feel your best by combining the best practices of medicine + movement.
This episode kicks off with Kristin giving us the definition of perimenopause and the average age (though it varies widely) when women can begin to experience the symptoms of perimenopause. When you begin to experience the negative side effects of perimenopause, Julie and Kristin discuss the natural things you can do to support your body through the process.
Lifestyle modifications are key in supporting your body through perimenopause and Kristin breaks down the key things you can do to impact the effects of perimenopause. Kristin and Julie talk about the impact of blood sugar on perimenopause and how important it is to have adequate blood sugar control. Kristin shares that sleep is the one of, if not the most important piece of the puzzle with blood sugar control in relation to hot flashes experienced during the night.
We wrap this episode with Kristin educating us on supplements that help women through perimenopause
