About me

Hello, I'm Kate Hope, MS, CNS, nutritionist and science educator. I bring with me two decades of teaching experience in the sciences and years of training in nutrition, to provide you with the education and guidance you need to begin your path to wellness. 

I believe in the body's innate wisdom to heal itself, when given the proper nutrients, and I blend the knowledge of ancient healing traditions with modern functional nutrition, to get to the root cause of the issue. I partner with you to develop a plan tailored to your individual needs, whether that is for yourself, your child or your whole family.

Being the outdoorsy type, I came down with Lyme Disease over a decade ago. Through my struggle, I learned a great deal about the body systems affected by the bacteria and its co-infections, and also about the way nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can speed the healing process. As a recovered Lyme patient, I enjoy helping those who are dealing with chronic conditions.

I also learned, after suffering with gastrointestinal problems as a kid and a young adult, that I come from a “celiac” family and after removing gluten from my diet, my symptoms resolved. I’ve since coached countless individuals and families with food sensitivities, and I’ve seen conditions such as Autism, ADHD, behavior problems, thyroid issues, obesity, and other chronic ailments improve with a gut-healing diet.

As your nutritionist, I promise to be the best 'health detective' I can be. Together we will not just treat symptoms, but we will search for the root cause of your condition, and treat it naturally with real food, supplements and healthy lifestyle changes.

I look forward to helping you on your healing journey!

What People Are Saying

“If you haven't yet seen The Magic Pill on Netflix, Kate Hope is the one who helped my wife and I switch our daughter Abigail over to the GAPS diet during the film. She's an amazingly kind and caring person, and very knowledgeable. She comes highly recommended to say the least!”

-Barry Dudley, NJ

“Our son was having behavioral issues which were preventing him from succeeding in school. He was also a very fussy eater. We had him tested and found out that he had numerous food sensitivities. After seeking Kate’s nutritional guidance, our son’s behavior did a 180 degree turnaround in less than six months. He is now eating a more balanced diet and he’s open to trying new foods.”

-Kristen

“It’s like a veil has lifted from our autistic son in only one month of going gluten and dairy free. We were terrified to make any dietary changes, but Kate has made the process easy, and we’ve made great progress!

-Jessica

Kate, thanks for being so encouraging. I’m finally feeling better about myself, as this journey has not been easy. Thank you for listening to me as a ‘whole’ person! (Marie lost 30 pounds in 5 months)

-Marie

We went to Kate for help with our son who was diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. We found out that he had sensitivities to a number of foods. We decided to have the whole family go on the same plan so our son wouldn’t feel bad, and it turns out that we all started feeling better! Thanks for all the info and guidance, Kate!

-Carolyn

“Kate has been instrumental in helping me to understand the relationship between food and our bodies.  She has helped me eliminate sugar, gluten and other additives from my diet, which in turn has helped me lose weight.  After being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Kate taught me which foods have inflammatory properties.  Since working with Kate, I feel better and have more energy.”

-Martha

I have received wonderful recommendations for foods and supplements which have really helped me to live a healthier lifestyle. I have more energy and I am able to enjoy my meals. Thank you, Kate!”

-Susan

“Kate’s science background combined with her nutritional studies truly advance her knowledge and understanding of what is needed for individual cases. She really listens to your concerns and personalizes her suggestions just for you. Her recommendation to add probiotics, along with her dietary guidance around my gut issues, helped put me on a healthier path.”

-Sue

Kate is a very knowledgeable and sincere person who genuinely cares to help people improve their health with natural methods. Being a vegetarian, I wanted to make sure I was getting enough protein and proper nutrition. Kate helped me take my everyday salads and veggie dishes to a whole new level! She made sure I had the right mix of protein, carbs and good fats. Oh the diversity! I feel healthier already.
