Marisol Kim
Certified Nutrition Consultant and Functional Medicine Clinician
Food is our medicine. It also can be our poison. Discovering what works best for you is at the heart of Marisol Kim’s practice.
Marisol is a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Functional Medicine Clinician. Her main interest I life is to feel great in body and mind, and her mission is to help others do the same through a holistic, individualized health plan.
Marisol’s primary focus is gut health. She believes what’s going on in our digestive system is the root of many health concerns. Do any of these sound familiar to you? Issues with weight management, skin, mood, sleep, low energy, cravings, immunity, and hormonal imbalances. The list goes on and on.
Properly assessing your needs is the key to success. Each of us is different, so Marisol customizes the program to fit the individual. This includes lab work, meal planning, time management, nutrition education, creating a sustainable way of eating, and setting each person up for success by coaching them to a healthy approach to food.
Marisol first witnessed the power of natural healing at a very early age. She was experiencing chronic digestive pain. But rather than treat her with a pill or something similar, her grandfather used acupuncture to help her body heal on its own.
Years later, as an adult, Marisol suffered from all sorts of gut and allergy issues. She was eating what she thought was healthy food, but it was the wrong food. Making things worse, she was living on the sugar rollercoaster, which led to mood fluctuations, inflammation, and other problems.
Marisol felt stuck in a vicious cycle. That’s when she turned to holistic nutrition with amazing and lasting success. Her gut felt better. She had more energy. And her mind was clear. This dramatic change in her own health led Marisol to a lifelong love affair with the power of food and natural medicine.
First, Marisol became a chef and caterer. She focused on healthy and delicious meals from organic, sustainable, and seasonal sources – a practice she follows to this day, whether at work or meal prepping for herself. Then she pursued education in Holistic Nutrition and Functional Medicine. She received her certifications at Bauman College in Berkeley and at Kharrazian Institute.
Marisol believes that lifestyle and food choice are strongly connected. When we have balance in our lives, we are happier and make healthier eating decisions. We can get there by tending to our interests and connecting with one another as well as with nature.
For her well-being, Marisol turns to music, gardening, and forest bathing, a Japanese tradition that draws on time spent in nature to cleanse and heal. The contemplative practice is a strong reminder that simple changes can make big differences.Wherever you are in your journey, Marisol is ready to meet you. She offers private sessions tailored to an individual’s goals and needs. Teaming together, you and Marisol can get to the root of your issues and set a course for healthy living.
That’s what functional medicine is all about. It’s not a bandage for your symptoms. It’s an evidence-based deep dive into what is causing your chronic problems and then a way to improve your quality of life – once and for all.
The time to feel your best starts now.
