Hi! My name is Kelsey and I’ve been a Registered Dietitian since 2014, licensed in the state of Illinois. I’ve always had an interest in food, which started in childhood. I was a very picky eater (sorry mom and dad!), and decided early on that I would be a vegetarian. As I’ve gotten older, I have expanded my food palate, but I’ve always stuck with the morals of eating foods that help me feel good and I believe that is a guiding principle of overall health.

Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body. Everywhere I turned for guidance, I was told I just needed to have more discipline and self control. I was trapped in this cycle for 10+ years and desperate for a way out. If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.

At our first session, the average person tells me "I know what I need to do, I just wish I had the willpower to do it." Many rely on sheer willpower to accomplish their goals instead of learning how to make nutrition a simple and enjoyable process. Nutrition is not supposed to be this hard or guilt-inducing. It should primarily mold around your general life and preferences, not the other way around. My main approach to accomplish this is to build a basic understanding on why your old habits do not work, and why these new habits will work.

My name is Xin. I am the founder of Pei Gen Health and Advanced Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture. You may wonder what is the VITAL FORCE that keeps us alive. We call it 'Qi" (气).

With acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and other means, like Tuina, Guasha, and Cupping/Hijamah, we help restore the normal balance and flow of Qi, so your body will get enough blood supply, and can thus function normally for you.
