Why Nutrition Matters
Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy life. The foods we eat provide the energy and nutrients our bodies need to function properly, support growth and development, and prevent chronic diseases. Balanced nutrition fuels activity, boosts immunity, improves mental clarity, and enhances overall well-being.
At kbnutrition, we believe that small, informed changes in your diet can create lasting health benefits. Our goal is to help you understand your nutritional needs and make choices that support your lifestyle, whether at home, work, or on the go.

"kbnutrition and Kim were very hands on and helpful with finding out nutritional and allergen info for some of our menu items. There were also several times I was able to get advice and helpful menu information. I consider this to be a great asset to our company and guests."

“Kim developed and published an impressive “Nutrient Pocket Guide” for the menu served at the Rush University Medical Center Employee Cafeteria in Chicago. This booklet contained not only nutrient composition data for menu items but also menu selection suggestions to guide customers. The pocket guide was customer friendly and considered an “added value” by those patrons interested in selecting foods based on nutrient value. At the time, this retail food service facility generated over 5000 daily transactions.”

“As a colleague of Kim’s at the US Department of Agriculture, I observed her comprehensive ability to conduct nutrient analyses for rigorous and complicated school meal menus as part of the School Meal Initiative (SMI) for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Kim is effective in providing nutrient analysis services because she is extremely detail oriented in analyzing recipes. Accuracy is clearly her top priority! I was always inspired by Kim’s ability to provide one-on-one technical support to schools to ensure that they were providing healthy recipes and provide recommendations to improve the healthfulness of their menus. I find that Kim’s strong background in nutrition and nutrient analysis allows her to offer a unique perspective to her clients.”

"I couldn’t be happier with Kim. She was recommended to me when my child was struggling with an eating disorder, with the assurance that she was wonderful with kids and would even come to our home. From the moment she walked in, we knew she was the perfect fit. We’ve never looked back—she’s truly the best."

Client Mom
“Kim was truly interested in educating our family and helping us make more informed choices about the food that we eat. She was patient and wanted to make sure that she addressed all of our questions. Inviting Kim into our home was the best investment we could make for our family to eat better and live better!”

“Kim provides incredibly thorough and well-researched information, but in a way that is accessible to someone who isn’t a nutrition expert. As a busy professional and a new mom, I really appreciate that her advice is practical and easy to follow. She also is creative and flexible in her approach to nutrition, always providing lots of different options that can satisfy a broad range of tastes and budgets. I consider Kim’s advice an essential part of providing the best possible care for my son!”

“Kim provided nutrition consulting for me before, during and after pregnancy. She was professional, thorough and very considerate regarding the delicate nature of health and weight during this time in a woman’s life. I trusted her and her guidance 100%, and I would highly recommend hiring her to guide anyone in making healthy food choices and leading an overall healthier lifestyle.”

Business Owner
My experience with Kim was absolutely amazing! Kim B. served as my Nutritionist and assisted me with a variety of health issues as I recovered from stroke and cardiac issues. With her guidance, knowledge, professionalism and support, I was able to drop my extremely high cholesterol levels to the point that I no longer take medication for that problem. Kim also assisted with lowering my blood pressure from the dangerously high levels that caused my heart attack 2 years ago. Kim offers in home, hands on visits, and myself being handicapped with limited mobility, this option came in extremely handy and resourceful. Kim made me feel comfortable and optimistic with the boost of confidence that I needed to get healthy again. I can proudly say I have lost over 45 pounds (yes I do exercise daily as well) since beginning my membership with Kim just a little over 12 months ago. She responded almost immediately every single time I had the smallest question or problem. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my health or dietary needs.

“THANK YOU so much for your guidance and advice… it was so amazing and so logical. You made it so easy for me to be healthier and most importantly find healthy alternatives while traveling. Being in an airport and stuck in hotel restaurants as much as I am, it is hard, but you helped me not only make it manageable and most importantly, sustainable. Thank you for helping me figure out how to read a menu differently and recognize the easy changes… and allowing me to still eat middle eastern food! My goal was to be healthy and build better eating habits; the 20 pound weight loss was just a wonderful added bonus. Honestly your consultative style was wonderful. I wasn’t sure how it was going to be doing it over the phone but it was great. You made it easy for me to stick to a plan and most importantly reminded me what was important when planning my meals. You worked with my lifestyle to build a plan instead of building a militant program that would have been impossible for me to stick to. Thank you again; I really appreciate the help and guidance!”
