About Kelsey Ruszel

Hi, I’m Kelsey, a functional and holistic dietitian, and founder of Vitality Nutrition Counseling based in Boise, Idaho. I help clients balance their blood sugars and hormones through personalized nutrition coaching and anti-inflammatory eating. Instead of generic instruction, we work together over time, similar to how a coach or trainer supports their clients make progress toward their goals. Nutrition coaching begins with an initial assessment of your health history, lifestyle, goals, and personal needs. This is where I listen and understand you and your story. From there, we create a plan for working together, which typically includes bi-weekly visits over the course of 4 months. During our visits, we cover specific nutrition and lifestyle topics, talk through questions, challenges, celebrate wins, and identify the clear manageable steps to focus on until we meet again. After each session, you’ll receive a written, personalized protocol so you feel focused and know exactly what to do. If appropriate for you, I can get you a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), order labwork or recommend specific supplements. My clients often notice more consistent energy, focus, and more stable moods. They feel more confident in their food choices and start to see meaningful progress in their health, whether that’s improved A1c, thyroid or cholesterol labs, better energy, changes in weight health, without feeling like they’re “on a diet.” For more support beyond what insurance covers, I offer a dinner meal plan membership, functional lab testing (hair mineral analysis HTMA and GI-MAP gut health testing), and my highest-tier 4-month nutrition program called the Vitality Method. My specialties are diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, perimenopause/menopause, and people who feel like they're doing all the right things but still feeling "off" or out of balance.
