What I learned was amazing! Kate's explanations of digestion helped make sense of how my body works. I learned so much about myself!
Kate is very knowledgeable and passionate about helping you get rid of pain, lose weight, get to the root cause of issues and much more. Highly recommend!
I learned how many ways I can tweak my habits to get a healthier lifestyle. It was a great reset, and I hope to continue to stay focused on making good choices.
You Know The Frustration When…
Despite what doctors say, and what online influencers promise...
Your labs say “everything’s normal,” but your body disagrees.
You're bloated, foggy, inflamed, or exhausted… and somehow still expected to keep pushing through.
You’ve tried looking online and maybe even asking ChatGPT. You’ve tried supplements from TikTok and suggestions from well-meaning friends. You’ve tried listening to your doctor - only to be told it’s "just stress" or "part of aging."
And now you’re asking yourself:
Is it IBS - or something deeper no one’s tested for?
Why can't I run without needing to use the bathroom?
Are my hormones the issue, or my gut - or both?
Why does every solution either oversimplify or overcharge?
You’re tired of guessing. Tired of feeling dismissed. Tired of being stuck in limbo between “you’re fine” and “here’s another medication.” You don’t need more noise. You need clarity. You need a place that connects the dots, breaks down the science, and actually makes sense.
When it comes to your health, there is no "one size fits all" answer, so YOU need to be the advocate for your own journey.
It’s overwhelming. Confusing.
And honestly? Infuriating.
Because while symptoms are real… the system's answers are half-assed.
Your labs are “normal”…
...but you still feel like garbage. Exhausted. Bloated. In pain. (And you’re supposed to just accept that?)
You’ve tried "all the diets"
From vegan to carnivore and everything in between, and you're tired of trying to figure out what to eat.
You’ve been gaslit or dismissed
Deep down, you know it's BS. And you’re done playing polite. You want answers and you want to understand your body.
Here's the truth about our current medical system...
The average primary care doctor visit in the U.S. is only 13‑16 minutes.
Medical students receive on average less than 20 hours of nutrition education
Only about 25‑30 % of U.S. medical schools require a dedicated nutrition course.
The vast majority of continuing medical education (CME) programs for doctors in the U.S. are funded by the pharmaceutical industry and do not teach anything on using food and lifestyle.
There is little to no money to be made in CURING diseases compared to having people on medications FOR LIFE, so there is less incentive to do so.
But reports suggest over 70% of chronic illnesses are preventable (or reversible!) with diet + lifestyle changes!!!
With limited time, limited training in nutrition and lifestyle, and huge volumes of patients, the standard medical model often struggles to address root‑causes like gut health, hormone balance, or toxin load — and that’s exactly where DFYD steps in.
Whether you're looking to address nagging symptoms or a specific diagnosis, or simply want to optimize your health and performance to boost your potential, you're in the right place!

HI! I AM KATE CLINE, YOUR DEFIANT DIETITIAN
As a dietitian and functional nutritionist, with a background as a yoga teacher, personal trainer, and obstacle course racer, I live the life I teach. From the yoga training in India - where no single student had a solid bowel movement for the entire 4 weeks (yikes!) - to picking up a parasite in a muddy obstacle course that doctors never detected, I've had my own share of strange GI struggles.
And in my time at a Tough Mudder race, I was approached by numerous runners expressing their own frustrations at trying to manage their IBS, Crohn's, and other digestive issues while trying to have the energy to train and understand how to fuel for everything from their race days, to their day to day.
Several years later, I was having severe knee pain - I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees, and told simply to stop running, and go see the surgeon. Instead, I put my own food, supplement, and movement plan in place - and in 6 weeks, was back out running on the trails, pain free.
I defied my own diagnosis. And I wanted to give that same power to others who have felt dismissed by their doctors, told there's nothing they can do, and to just perpetually try new medications.
But I believe the body WANTS to be healthy, when we know what it needs. I believe everyone should be empowered to understand and take control of their health, to ask questions, open conversations with their medical team, ,and to learn to fuel and rebalance their bodies. Often there are simple things you can learn and try, and see amazing results! And when "doing everything right" isn't the answer, we can still go deeper with advanced lab work and personalize a plan even more.
So I have worked to gather and create educational resources for you to better understand your gut and your nutrition, and help you actually implement the information so you can live your best life while training for your favorite activities!
My credentials: Graduated from University of Cincinnati in 2005 with my BS in Nutrition & Dietetics; completed a year-long internship with The Ohio State University in 2006 and became a Registered Dietitian. I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2014, became a personal trainer in 2016, and finished an intensive 2-year training in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy in 2019. I have been enjoying learning and teaching about the seemingly-magical healing benefits of functional nutrition and gut health (all science-based!) since kicking off my private practice full-time in 2020, helping clients get out of the bathroom and back on the road.
