About Me

Hi, I’m Keri Lynn. During my 25 years of professional nutrition expertise I became disheartened by conventional nutrition approaches that failed to lead patients to a healing track. Determined to find the truth in nutrition, I invested in learning the principles of Integrative Medicine and Functional Nutrition. This practice re-ignited my spark as Dietitian and lead me to establishing a private practice, ESSENTIALS OF THE ROOT in 2016.

I am a Registered (RD) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (CDN) practicing and licensed in New York and Connecticut. I have extensive clinical and nutrition management in long term care and substance abuse. I furthered my studies through functional nutrition certificate programs and credentialed as an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) in 2016. I am a Certified LEAP therapist (CLT) specializing in food sensitivities. I am an affiliate of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) and Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Nutrition (DIFM).

I treat each client as unique in that no nutrition plan is the same. Anyone that knows me knows that I am passionate about what I do and always welcome the opportunity to converse about real food and nutrition.
