Kaitlyn Ashner Nutrition

Trans-Inclusive, Gender-Affirming Nutrition Care.

You deserve a dietitian who truly gets it. Someone who understands gender identity, transition and minority stress, because they live in this community too.

I'm a lesbian and have been married to my wife for 5 years. I know what it's like to walk into a provider's office and wonder if it's safe to be yourself. My practice puts your safety, comfort and self-determination first. Whether you're navigating disordered eating, a chronic condition or gender-affirming care, you'll get expert support without judgment or shame.

Gender-Affirming Care Support

Compassionate nutrition support before, during and after transition, including hormone therapy and surgery. We focus on the health goals that matter to you.

LGBTQIA+ & Neurodivergence

Queer, Neurodivergent and Tired of Explaining.

LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent identities often overlap, and I'm living proof. As an autistic, ADHD lesbian dietitian, I know what it's like to mask in healthcare. With me you can drop the mask. We'll build food routines around your sensory needs, your energy and your executive function, not a generic plan.

Trans-Affirming Support

I provide trans-affirming nutrition support, creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals to receive care and guidance tailored to their identity and journey.

Neurodivergent Affirming

My services are neurodivergent affirming, recognizing and accommodating the diverse needs of individuals with neurological differences to promote positive health outcomes.

Why Choose an Affirming Provider?

You shouldn't have to educate your provider just to get basic care. When you work with me, I'm committed to:

  • Respectful language: I will always use your name and pronouns.

  • Understanding barriers: I recognize how systemic transphobia, homophobia and minority stress affect eating and health.

  • Your autonomy: You choose your goals, because you're the expert on your body.

  • Care coordination: With your permission, I work with your doctor, therapist or gender-affirming care team.

    Often, yes. I'm in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare, and most of my clients pay $0.

    Always. Just tell me what you'd like me to use, and I'll use it every session.

    Yes. I never use weight as the measure of your health. We focus on energy, how you feel and your relationship with food.
