The Heart of My Work
I help women navigate perimenopause and hormone shifts with a personalized, food-first approach rooted in real nourishment, metabolic health, and clear clinical guidance.
If your body has felt unfamiliar lately, whether that looks like fatigue, cravings, sleep changes, brain fog, or feeling off in your own skin, you are not imagining it. My work is about helping you understand what is happening and supporting you with a plan that feels clear, steady, and grounded in your real life.
Meet The Dietitian
Kim Pierson | MS, RD, LDN
The Perimenopause and Hormone Dietitian
I’m so glad you’re here. I founded Restoration Dietitian from a deep belief that women deserve to feel supported, informed, and at ease in their bodies, especially during seasons that feel confusing or off.
My path into nutrition was shaped by a desire to understand the deeper layers of health and what truly helps women feel better. That path led me to earn my Master of Science in Nutrition and complete my dietetics training at Lipscomb University.
Today, I specialize in helping women navigate perimenopause and hormone shifts with a personalized, evidence-based approach that supports energy, nourishment, and steadier rhythms. My goal is to help you feel more clear, supported, and confident in your body again.My mission is simple: to walk alongside you as you restore your hormones, your energy, and your life.
Experience
That
Shapes
My Approach
I believe that effective care starts with a partnership built on clarity and trust, and a personalized approach.
My work is grounded in graduate nutrition training, clinical experience, and continued study in hormone health, metabolism, and personalized nutrition support.
My education provided a strong foundation in medical nutrition therapy and evidence-based care. I earned my Master of Science in Nutrition and completed my dietetics internship at Lipscomb University, where I focused on clinical and community nutrition.
Over time, my work led me to focus more deeply on the patterns behind symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. I came to believe that lasting change does not come from more rules. It comes from understanding the body clearly and building rhythms that truly support it.
As I moved further into private practice, I kept seeing the same pattern. Women were feeling exhausted, dealing with cravings, sleep changes, and hormone-related symptoms, yet still walking away without clear answers or meaningful support.
That led me to deeper study in mineral balance and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, or HTMA, which became an important part of how I understand hormone health. It deepened my understanding of how minerals, metabolism, and stress patterns can influence energy, cravings, sleep, and the way women feel through hormone changes.
Today, I specialize in supporting women through perimenopause and hormone shifts with a personalized, evidence-based approach that is both supportive and practical. I help you make sense of what is happening in your body and build rhythms that support steadier energy, nourishment, and confidence.
My mission is simple: to help you feel more steady, supported, and informed as you navigate hormone changes.
My approach is shaped by:
Personalized nutrition care that puts your body and your history first
A strong foundation in clinical nutrition, metabolism, and hormone health
A food-first approach that supports mineral balance, energy, and nourishment
Clear guidance that helps you understand your body with more confidence
Compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel steady again
What Working Together Looks Like
Your hormones are shifting, and your nutrition should too.
I provide one-on-one virtual nutrition counseling for women who are ready for a steadier, more supportive approach to hormone health.
Together, we focus on consistent nourishment, practical rhythms, and personalized strategies that support your changing body without more food stress or rigid rules.
My approach is collaborative, individualized, and designed to help you feel supported, informed, and clear on your next steps.
Values That Guide My Practice
My work as a registered dietitian is rooted in providing hormone-centered, non-diet nutrition counseling that honors your whole experience. These values shape every step we take together.
Well-Being
I believe hormone health is about more than lab values. It is about how you feel in daily life and how nourishment supports both physical and emotional well-being.
Compassion
I lead with empathy and create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and cared for.
Excellence
I am committed to thoughtful, ethical, evidence-based care that respects your history and supports your future health.
Policy Advocacy & Nourishment Beyond the Individual
My work extends beyond one-on-one nutrition counseling. I believe restoring a healthy relationship with food also means protecting the systems that make nourishment possible in the first place.
Here in Middle Tennessee, farmland that once sustained families and local food systems is increasingly being replaced by rapid development and subdivisions. As a dietitian, I see firsthand how the loss of agricultural land impacts food quality, access, and long-term nourishment for communities.
I care deeply about land preservation, sustainable agriculture, and food systems that prioritize nourishment over convenience. This includes supporting initiatives that protect working farmland, strengthen connections between local farms and families, and ensure future generations have access to real, wholesome food.
My advocacy focuses on nutrition policies and community efforts that:
Preserve farmland and support small, sustainable farms
Strengthen local food systems and regional agriculture
Promote nourishing, whole foods in schools and communities
Protect the land that feeds and sustains us
Through community partnerships and continued advocacy, my goal is to help restore nourishment not only in individual lives, but across the broader food landscape that shapes how and what we eat.
