I have been talking to Kara now for almost 4 years and she has changed my life around food. I was always worrying about what I was eating and feeling guilty. She has taught me to listen to my body and to what it needs. I love having the food freedom and not having the guilt constantly in the back of my head. She has helped with more than just food. She is like talking to a friend. I always enjoy the days I talk to her and feel better after our call.
I really appreciate working with Kara. I find her to be knowledgeable on topics we discuss and consistently positive and motivating for me. She provides nonjudgmental feedback and is always able to help provide suggestions and goals while still keeping me in control of my treatment. She is professional, organized, and punctual and is happy to go above and beyond my expectations when asked. I believe she is a great provider and would recommend her

More about Kara Hoerr, RDN, MS

I bring practicality and a realistic, understanding viewpoint to the confusing world of nutrition. I'm a registered dietitian nutritionist with a Bachelor's and a Master's in Food and Nutritional Sciences from Iowa State University, over 6 years of schooling, and more than 10 years of experience helping clients work toward their nutritional goals. But I'm also a real human being who loves cookies, cheese, and chips just as much as you do. So, you can be sure that when you start working with me, you're entering a no-judgment zone. We'll start where you're at and make a plan that is realistic and approachable for you. Behind all the science and detailed research, nutrition is actually pretty simple if we let it be. You'll find no strict or complicated diets here. No self-shaming or guilt. I'll help you bring the joy and pleasure back into food because food should be a source of pleasure, not fear. I also love to bring nutrition and a love of eating all foods to the whole family. Whether you have a 6-month-old just starting their eating journey or a 5-year-old who won't eat what you put on her plate, I'm here to help you navigate these challenging times in a judgment-free zone, too. I'll give you the guidance and advice you need so you can spend more time enjoying your kiddos and less time worrying about how and what they're eating. When I'm not working with clients to meet their individual goals, I'm a busy mom with two small kiddos (I understand the mealtime chaos!), fitting in a quick run when I can, cooking and baking, and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible.

I really appreciated Kara critiquing my meals and recommending small healthier changes. It helped make me very aware of what might be better choices or confirmed what I was eating was fine. By making recommended changes it helped me to be able to sustain better habits. Eating better gives me more energy and I just feel better overall. She not only gives great tips on healthy eating and easy recipes, she also encourages you . . . a lot. You feel like you have someone in your corner who only wants the best for you. She is so kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. She will help you in any if you let her.
Kara is an exceptional coach and I really enjoyed working with her. She is thoughtful, fully supportive and celebratory of your many wins and provides numerous tools to help you shift your mindset and to set up systems for success. I really felt like she was someone I could trust with my deepest fears and challenges. If you're thinking about how to have a better relationship with food, movement, and health, I'd highly recommend working with her.
Kara has been great to work with. She very much met me where I was at, and helped to identify solutions that fit my needs and lifestyle. She was also very patient when I hit lulls in progress, and provided motivation and accountability along the way.
Kara Hoerr is the best; exceeded my expectations. There was a focus of enjoyment and mindfulness of eating. Many positives: her attentiveness, knowledge, and preparation. I felt comfortable exploring a variety of topics. I made huge progress in a few months, by celebrating small wins. Thank you, Kara.
I LOVE working with Kara!! Many things have clicked with me since working with her. Prior to working with Kara I met with nutritionists working in health care clinics, but those nutritionists didn't have the amount of time within the clinical setting to work in-depth with me. I gained a whole world of knowledge about nutrition with Kara. Working with Kara is a great investment in your overall health. My proof is that not only was I able to reduce the triglycerides in my blood work by half, but the rest of my important lab numbers all improved. My primary care provider was very pleased with my results!
Kara is amazing to work with. I look back at the changes made and am amazed at how easy they were but so completely out of my "norm" or "comfort zone"—not only on the nutrition side but the activity as well. Kara truly listens and helps to create attainable goals that fit into real life. I have dealt with fibromyalgia for years. I took prescription medication to help manage the pain and help with sleep. After the first 6 months of working with Kara, I am prescription free, pain free, and all of the side effects/symptoms of fibromyalgia are gone.
Working with Kara has helped me develop a healthier relationship with food, improving my energy, overall wellness, and enjoyment of what I'm eating. She helped me discover the foods I love and turned eating from a source of anxiety into a source of joy. In the first six months as Kara's client, I had noticeably more energy, I lost almost 15 pounds, and I lowered my Triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
If you think all dietitians are "food police" who will nitpick everything you eat, then you should talk with Kara. Working with her was a refreshing change. Kara is kind, understanding, always ready to listen, and full of practical knowledge that was always shared as if coming from friend. I learned so many nuggets of wisdom, such as "setting down your fork between bites," that have enabled me to enjoy my meals so much more than before. Kara was the guide I needed to help rebuild my relationship with food.
