My Journey
I’m Kristina Hirschfeld, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 15 years of clinical experience, primarily at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. Throughout my career, I cared for thousands of patients, many with complex medical conditions. Supporting people through their health challenges has always been a deep honor and a meaningful part of my work. Along the way, I also mentored dietetic interns and taught nutrition and health-related classes.
Over time, despite caring for others, I reached a point where I needed to turn that same attention inward. Chronic stress, long hours, and the pace of life began to affect my own well-being. I chose to pause, focus on my health, spend time with my family, and rebuild my energy from the inside out. That period became a turning point. Through thoughtful changes in nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress support, I experienced firsthand what sustainable recovery really requires.
This personal chapter deepened my understanding of how easily driven, caring people can become depleted — and how powerful simple, consistent lifestyle shifts can be when they are realistic and supportive.
That experience inspired me to create Wellco Studio — a space where clinical knowledge meets practical, everyday wellness. My work now blends evidence-based nutrition with a calm, lifestyle-centered approach to help others feel better in their real lives.
Beyond my work, I’m a wife and mother of two boys. I find joy in outdoor walks, travel, cooking, beautiful design, and comedy.
Today, I work with individuals virtually, supporting them from the comfort of their homes through an integrative, whole-person approach to health. My background in clinical nutrition, along with my own experience recovering from burnout, shapes how I guide others. I focus on simple, sustainable shifts in nutrition, daily habits, and lifestyle that help you feel better in your everyday life, not just in theory. My goal is to help you care for your health in a way that feels supportive, realistic, and lasting.
Everyone has a story, and I want to hear yours - your health struggles and what motivates you. I’m interested in learning more about your lifestyle beyond just what you eat. This provides me with a broader perspective of who you are and what matters to you.
Each person requires a personalized approach because everyone’s journey is different. I will identify areas of strength and areas that would benefit from improvement and support. Taking into consideration your culture, values, relationship with food, habits, goals, and lifestyle, I will create a tailored roadmap and interventions.
My goal is to collaborate with you in establishing meaningful, realistic, long-term goals that align with your values. I will support you in making gradual, sustainable changes toward your larger goals at your own pace, helping you to succeed and thrive. I’m also here to bridge the gap between desiring a healthy life and actually experiencing and enjoying one.
