Hello, it’s great to meet you!

My name is Emily Kilar. I am a Board Certified Nutrition Specialist, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Lactation Counselor.

My story: My childhood was anything but healthy. I had several diagnoses (asthma, autoimmune Graves’ disease & Hashimoto’s, anxiety, depression, obesity & antibiotic resistance)

Even though I struggled with autoimmune thyroid disease and weight concerns, none of my doctors referred me to a nutritionist. So, I became my own health advocate. I increased my nutrition literacy & began cooking more for myself and my family. Nutrition became the center piece of my healing journey.

I loved nutrition so much that I studied it for 6 years! :P

Before Emmpowered Nutrition, I worked as a public health nutritionist for the Supplemental nutrition program for Women’s, Infants and Children (WIC). After 4 years of practicing conventional nutrition, I decided I wanted to help my clients with a more holistic approach. 

I went back to school to get a Master’s in Nutrition and received professional training in integrative and functional medicine. I completed a 1000-hour residency and internship with a naturopathic doctor and nutritionist. I received professional training in analyzing hormone levels, nutrient levels, genetic factors, metabolic factors, and environmental toxins.

My approach to nutrition explores the relationship between diet, biological systems, lifestyle, and environment to target optimal whole-body function through diet and lifestyle changes.
