Kathleen Johnson Fonte, MS, RD, is a self-described “nutrition nerd” who loves food. She believes that an approach to happy, healthy eating is the result of exhaustive knowledge of the body of nutritional research (vs. one single study) and an orientation towards the experience of food, not merely numbers. She brings a unique perspective to nutrition by capturing the importance of not only the science, but also the sensory, cultural and spiritual aspects of food.

She consults with individuals on how to simply improve how they nourish themselves and with businesses on product innovation, development of dietary supplement products, and training professional staffs.

Kathleen has been sought out by leading health-oriented organizations including Weil Lifestyles, Inc. Canyon Ranch Health Resorts, PepsiCo, Kraft Foods and The Energy Infuser, Inc. She developed a nutrition curriculum for physicians for Dr. Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. During her tenure at Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson, Arizona, she served as the Nutrition Program Direction overseeing training and program development.
