Kristen DeAngelis Wellness

Kristen DeAngelis Wellness I'm a Functional and Integrative Registered Dietitian providing virtual 1-1 customized service! Hi there! Welcome to Kristen DeAngelis Wellness!

I am a Registered Dietitian, Yoga Teacher and exercise specialist. I LOVE what I do and strive towards bringing a positive light and support my clients goals for healthy change - not just weight loss but to physically, mentally and spiritually find their best place! I really stress the importance of integrating all parts of our health - including not just the foundation of food, but also the key of sleep, stress, communication, community support, relationships, internal self-talk and much more. My Integrative Health Approach, Kristen focuses on:

Diet and Nutrition
Fitness and Activity
Sleep and Stress
Work / Life Balance
Friends/Family and Social Relationships

MY STORY: I grew up in south Boston (Marshfield) Massachusetts until I was 18 and went on to go to Virigina Tech University (Blacksburg, VA) - Go Hokies! I studied for 5 years to get my accreditation to become a Dietitian. In that time, I also worked as a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, served as the President of the Student Dietetics + Nutrition Club, was a Sorority member of Alpha Phi, and also served many other jobs around town (nutrition counseling, bartending, teaching yoga, working at the farmers market). Between semesters of school, I would either work various jobs in the summer but also did a study abroad one summer in Italy and France related to nutrition abroad, I worked at a medical facility in Uganda Africa, and I also went to Seattle to complete my 200 Hour Yoga Cert. In 2013, after graduating with a major in Dietetics as well as Exercise and Health Promotion, I moved to Chicago to do my 9 month internship at Ingalls Memorial Hospital. After completing my internship, I passed my boards and became a Registered Dietitian in 2014! From there, I went on to work with Joe Cross, film producer, wellness celebrity and most well-known for his first film, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. I worked as Joe's personal nutritionist and Executive Assistant traveling around the USA and around the world internationally for his 2nd film tour as well as his 2nd book tour - it was amazing and I am so grateful for that year! I still work with Joe's company, Reboot With Joe in doing their Guided Reboots! In 2015, I met a charmer, Dan Niehaus, skiing up in Vermont... 6 months later he got a job in Cincinnati, OH and so I decided to stop working for Joe and moved to Cincinnati with Dan. Prior to moving to Cincinnati in the 1 month between leaving working with Joe, I traveled to India for a 5-week yoga program receiving an additional 200 hour training in Vinyasa and Hatha. Now, here in Cincinnati, Dan proposed and we will be getting married in September 2017. Since moving to Cincinnati, I have started my private practice, Kristen DeAngelis Wellness. I also work at TriHealth kenwood womens center - seeing patients at an outpatient center and TriHealth Pavilion teaching weight management classes and cooking workshops. In Cincinnati, I also teach yoga at The Yoga Bar, I am the dietitian at Mission 5 Fitness and I work with Scripps digital company called SimpeMeals in doing some contract work in developing meal plans. I also still work with Reboot With Joe guiding Guided Reboots as well as work for Shea Training, a student-athlete sports training facility in Boston where I do their nutrition programming and social media. Overall, I love love love what I do and I am always aiming to help support those that are looking for ways to improve their lives whether it be improved nutrition, increased self-awareness, or just feeling better overall through a holistic approach. I hope to spread the word of good nutrition and the other important facets that incorporate into a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Felt like throwing in some “fun facts” you may not know about me? We had a little company holiday trivia night and I always seem to surprise people so I figured I’d throw a few in here 😂

Do I have any similar adrenaline junkies or story threads? Or any of these come as a surprise?

I get caught up in the crazy of the day to day that reflecting & going through old photos really can be pretty fun! “Holy s**t I forgot I did that 😂🤪

You know you’re in Vermont when we have one target in the state however there is an annual sock sale and the lines are about a few hours long 😂😂

but in all seriousness, it’s such a simple and effective “bio hack “… Warm feet!

If you’re working on hormone balance, cycle regulation, or trying to conceive, this tiny habit can actually support implantation, pelvic blood flow, and nervous system regulation 🧦✨

Here’s why I care so much about cold feet 👇🏼

• Cold = stress to the body
When your feet are cold, your body shunts blood away from the core to preserve heat. That means less circulation to the uterus and ovaries — not ideal when we’re supporting implantation or luteal phase health.

• Warmth = pelvic blood flow
Keeping the feet warm helps encourage circulation to the pelvic region. In both Eastern medicine and functional physiology, warmth supports nutrient and oxygen delivery to reproductive tissues.

• Parasympathetic > sympathetic
Warmth signals safety to the nervous system. Safety = parasympathetic dominance. Parasympathetic is where ovulation, implantation, digestion, thyroid conversion, and hormone signaling actually thrive.

• Stress hormones + fertility don’t mix
Chronically cold, under-fueled, or over-stimulated bodies stay in fight-or-flight. Cortisol competes with progesterone. Socks are simple, but they’re part of creating a body that feels safe enough to conceive.

This is why we look at everything in functional women’s health — not just labs, supplements, or protocols. Sometimes it’s the smallest daily inputs that shift the physiology the most.

Eat enough, balance blood sugar, support your gut, regulate your nervous system — and put the socks on 😂🙌❤️


Your body is always listening.

Your body is so smart and the only way it knows how to communicate is by giving us signals… The signal is coming up with your fatigue, energy, metabolism, brain temperature regulation all .2 a system being off… And when we look at the body, every system is connected

So an issue with your cortisol or HPA is absolutely going to affect the signaling to your ovaries…

The digestive issues can be pointing to problems with nutrient absorption required for good egg quality, or could be reflecting a deeper issue going on with the immune system impacting implantation

Temperature changes is another reflection of what’s going on with the thyroid which influences for fertility success

Restore the system systems… Listen to the warning, signs and address as it is all connected and will impact your fertility!

Ever heard of MRT? If you’ve tried “doing all the right things” but still struggle with bloating, gut issues, skin flare-ups, headaches, fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, or stubborn inflammation, this is one of my favorite tools to get clarity - and help calm things down while we do the deeper work on the microbiome gut integrity and immune system causing the issss of reactivity .

MRT (Mediator Release Test) looks at how your immune system reacts to foods and chemicals at a cellular level — not allergies, not IgG guesses, but actual inflammatory mediator release. Translation?
It helps us pinpoint which foods are quietly driving inflammation in YOUR body.

✨ This is huge because:
• Food reactions don’t always show up as immediate symptoms
• Chronic inflammation can impact the gut, hormones, skin, brain, joints, and fertility
• Removing the right foods (temporarily) allows the body to calm, heal, and rebuild

From there, we don’t just eliminate — we strategically reintroduce, rebuild gut integrity, and support immune tolerance so your body becomes more resilient, not more restricted.

If you’re curious about this and how it might help DM me let’s chat!❤️

Do we work with kids? YES — And honestly, there is so much we can do to support our little ones when symptoms start popping up.

Whether it’s gut issues, gas, eczema, asthma, skin issues, histamine intolerance, autoimmune type flares, anxiety, adhd or mood challenges… from babies to toddlers to your middle-schoolers, these issues are signs the body is asking for support.

One of the first places we always circle back to is the gut.
Because your child’s skin, brain, and immune system are all a reflection of what’s happening in their digestive system. When we support the gut, we often see shifts everywhere else.

A few of my favorite tests I do when working with the parents for their kids would be ( & I only test what we can actually make meaningful changes and do something with - it’s not just test to test is what I’m saying!)

- 💩stool testing to look at the microbiome (tiny health is my #1 for babies / toddlers / families but there are many others out there like gi map, Genova, vibrant America once older)

- 🧪MRT food sensitivity testing (different than allergy testing)

- 🧬Genetics test (this doesn’t change so is actually incredibly useful to know how we’re setup for life & what nutrients we need more of or want to be aware to not overdo etc)

When I hear a parent struggling it hurts my heart - I want everyone to have access and learn what areas they can support! If you’ve got a case you need an extra eye on DM me or drop below happy offer some support! ❤️

This testimony holds a truly special place in my heart. Kaitlyn you are a force, I couldn’t be more grateful to work with you and support you over the years. Thrilled for you and Drey & baby rainbow boy on the way 💫💫💫💫 . .
Kaitlyn’s story:

I started working with Kristen DeAngelis about 6.5 years ago after months of having no answers from doctors. I was dealing with a whole storm of post–birth control symptoms—hormone imbalance, high cortisol, anxiety, hyperthyroid, weight loss, extreme fatigue, hair loss, malnutrition, sleep issues, and a gut microbiome disaster (hello, SIBO).

From day one, Kristen jumped right in with a full FLUSH & gut protocol and ordered stool testing, MRT food sensitivities, and SIBO testing so we could finally get to the root. And we DID. Treating SIBO took months, and we layered in thyroid, cortisol, and DUTCH hormone testing to rebuild my body post-BC. Within a year, I truly felt like myself again. Kristen was a God-send—so knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely the sweetest human. I always looked forward to our check-ins.

Over the years, she’s remained my go-to for labs and functional support. In 2024, I reached out to start preparing my body for TTC. I followed everything she taught me… and within 2 months, I conceived. I sadly miscarried in May 2025, but I knew my body could do it again. So I reconnected with Kristen for another round of labs and healing—and within 3 months, I got pregnant again.

This time, it stuck. I’m now carrying my rainbow baby boy, conceived naturally, without fertility treatments—twice. I truly credit Kristen’s expertise in functional fertility for helping me heal and conceive. I’m forever grateful for her guidance through my entire health journey and now into pregnancy. She’s amazing at what she does and helps so many women finally get the answers—and the babies—they’ve been longing for. 💛🌈

How old am I? That’s the age I am. The mid 30 something where life feels like a blur at times but boy am I grateful for this life and those I get to share it with. Happy birthing day mom, thank you for the emergency c section you had with me on a snowy cold winters night. A year of gratitude, of life, of living or hard parts too, and another year to look forward to around the sun. Happy 36 Kristen Elizabeth ❤️

Most OBs run the bare minimum labs when you’re TTC. But “normal” isn’t always optimal for conception. Not to mention very frustrating!

👉 If you’re trying to get pregnant, here’s your functional preconception lab checklist:

- TSH, ft3, ft4, tpo, tgab
- iron, ferritin
- CBC, CMP
- insulin, a1c, (and glucometer to check 2 hr post meals)
- vitamin D
- DHEA, free and total testosterone
- progesterone, estradiol, total estrogen, LH, FSH
- prolactin
- AMH

- pst - males should also have labs & semen analysis run!

These labs help you understand egg quality, implantation, immune function, thyroid status, nutrient stores, and the root causes behind unexplained infertility.
