Health Professionals in South Carolina

I specialize in performance nutrition for endurance sports and assist athletes dealing with Eating Disorders and RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). With a background in NCAA and experience in elite-level cycling, I understand the challenges athletes face in trying to reach the next level. Whether recovering from injury, addressing nutritional issues, or improving the relationship with food and body, I'm here to guide you back to peak performance.

Hi! My name is Kristen Ziesmer, I am a registered dietitian, board certified specialist in sports dietetics and a certified personal trainer. I am the owner of Elite Nutrition and Performance, LLC, a comprehensive nutrition and fitness consulting practice located in the Greenville area of South Carolina. I work with athletes and active individuals ages 10 and up perform at their peak by combining science with practical application. I also work with clients with eating disorders, chronic illnesses and those looking to lose body fat or gain muscle mass.

I help women who are planning for pregnancy, are currently pregnant, or postpartum learn how to include nutritious food and make lifestyle changes so that they can lead an optimal pregnancy and recovery for both mom and baby.

Finding peace with food can seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Eating is an essential part of each day, and when you feel constricted by it, it effects other aspects of life. I want to help you find freedom and put joy back back into eating. If you struggle with cyclic dieting, disordered eating, or even feel out of control with food, you’ve come to the right place. I believe in intuitive eating and engage in a non-diet approach that helps you break free from diet mentality and food guilt. My approach is individualized and focused on what is most beneficial for you in your current time and environment.

Clients I see are looking for support, guidance and education around how they can make healthy choices in their daily lives. I am here to help navigate in this diet culture we live in and to educate my clients on evidence-based nutrition behaviors to empower them to make ever-lasting changes. I take a non-disruptive educational approach to help my clients work on small habits leading to true behavior change. We work on weight management, sports nutrition, food sensitivities, and general healthy eating and lifestyle.

Empowering women to ditch the shame, put themselves first, and heal from GI disease and disorders using a holistic, personalized approach. If you are looking for someone to listen to you and help with what to eat, normalize your bowel movements, increase energy, and beat the bloat, I can help you. I am a dietitian specializing in women's gastrointestinal health. Digestive issues reduce your quality of life and are isolating and embarrassing. I know this because I have had Crohn's disease for over 20 years. There is no one magic diet for GI issues. Each body is different, and each has its own story to tell.

Where do you find yourself today on the spectrum of health? Are you an athelete looking for that something extra, a chronic sufferer of pain, perhaps having to take a number of medications, or are you craving a good nights sleep? We are all in a constant state of flux. Through careful observation using pulse and tongue diagnosis I am able to identify where your imbalance lies. Gently manipulating the needles puts the focus back on you the patient and your own body starts to do what comes naturally...it begins healing it's self.

Are you struggling to feel heard and understood when it comes to the symptoms you’re experiencing on a daily basis? You don’t feel like yourself and you haven’t for a while now. It can be exhausting when you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and no one truly understands (or takes the time to understand) how you’re feeling. You’re constantly fatigued with gut symptoms, unable to think clearly, have low mood, imbalanced hormones and lack confidence in your skin. Now, how in the WORLD are you supposed to do all of the things on your to-do list when you feel this way?

People are so busy and stressed trying survive the day that damaging eating behaviors (i.e., binge-eating, restricting, chronic dieting, etc.) can sneak up and cause chaos within the mind, body and spirit. Whether it is the working mom that is done starving themselves to fit in their pre-baby jeans or the teenager navigating their sport and mental health - I can help prevent things from getting worse while guiding people to get to a more stable, healthy and enjoyable place. I am an advocate for a non-diet approach, Health at Every Size, mindful eating and balanced nutrition.

I have been an active Registered Dietitian and now Certified Leap Therapist for over 15 years. I have worked with a diverse group of patients from diabetes, renal, weight loss to GI Disorders. Due to COVID 19 I am available via a HIPPA compliant Telehealth so you don't even have to leave your house.

I see people of all ages for both "simple" and very complex issues. Pain, digestive concerns and stress/anxiety are frequently chief complaints. The first visit is at least two hours long. We will address all aspects of your health from many perspectives. You will receive an acupuncture treatment (if you wish) and there will be written recommendations at the end. The goal is always that you will have an increased sense of wellbeing and an improvement in your overall health as well as experience a significant improvement in whatever it is that brought you to your initial appointment.

Utilizing an integrative, whole body approach, I enjoy coaching intelligent, pro-active people who are interested in prevention of disease and bolstering personal wellness as opposed to treating disease. Over the course of 35 years I have worked with thousands of individuals, couples families and groups who are interested in changing their habits in the interest of changing the course of their lives. Physician (and other Practitioner) referrals are accepted but not required. I have received the Aiken Standard's Top Doc Award in 2018 and 2019 for Medical Weight Loss
