Hi, I'm Kate!

I specialize in digestive and hormone health for women either newly diagnosed or struggling with:

IBS, IBD, Autoimmune conditions, and women's health conditions between the prenatal and postmenopausal years.

I also help women who are looking for a natural approach and don't want to jump to medication as the first or only option.

I help women who are focused on being purposely proactive, motivated, and committed to themselves and are looking to manage the symptoms of digestive dysfunction, such as:

Bloating
Brain fog
Chronic fatigue
Diarrhea
Difficulty losing weight (despite trying everything)
Reflux
Joint pain
Eczema
Psoriasis
Headaches
And more!

Slide title

Without boring you with all the details of the problems I was having, I will say that working with Dr. Ricciardi has been life changing. That is not an over exaggeration. She helped me identify more closely issues I was having with food. She helped me find foods that I was reactive to and were affecting me without realizing it. And maybe most importantly she gave me tools and skills to continue to live in my best possible way while navigating the complexities of food sensitivities. Can't recommend working with her enough.

Working with Dr. Ricciardi has been nothing short of life changing, if not life saving. I had been struggling with a Crohn's disease diagnosis for over seven years without relief in sight. Dr. Ricciardi worked with me to create a nutrition plan that eased my gut into total remission in just a few short months. Her consistent communication and resources led me to understanding my body and what it needs more than ever before. I now feel confident in my ability to select and prepare foods, the fear of eating evaporated. I cannot recommend Dr. Ricciardi enough!

Kate is an amazing!! I am blown away at her abilities to dissect foods as well as the seasonings to help better our health. Because of Kates expertise in nutrition, I now have a solid foundation for the rest of my life for the right foods the work towards my brain health. And for that...I am so grateful! 5 stars 100% :)

Dr. Kate has been an incredible help during my health journey. I honestly didn’t know where to begin. She has such a wealth of knowledge whether it be food, supplements or just overall wellness. She helps design a plan that works for you and what you feel comfortable with. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Ricciardi is one of the most knowledgeable I’ve come across! After years of dead ends with conventional GI docs, she was able to get to the root of the problem and tailor a plan to suit my needs and my budget. I highly recommend!
