"I no longer have indigestion, acid reflex, I rarely get headaches, and don’t have bad reactions to spicy and acidic foods."

“Before I began nutrition coaching with Kayley I had really bad indigestion, metabolism issues, acid reflux, bad reactions to acidic and spicy foods, and headaches.

I reached out to Kayley because I wanted to address all of these issues and set a foundation to ultimately reach optimal health.

Kayley helped me create healthy, well balanced meals, switch out toxic products with non-toxic products, set a schedule for me to get consistent exercise, as well as prioritize good sleep.

I no longer have indigestion, acid reflex, I rarely get headaches, and don’t have bad reactions to spicy and acidic foods. I now make my health a priority and purchase good quality, real food and take the time to cook as well as meal plan. It can be hard work but it pays off.

Kayley puts her all into helping you. She takes the time to listen to the issues you are having and goes above and beyond with the research she provides for you. She works with your schedule to create a routine that bests fits you. You start to forget that she is your nutrition coach and begin viewing her as your friend because she really cares.

I would recommend Kayley to anyone who is looking to improve their health because she will really go the extra mile for you, does thorough research so you can trust her, and is such a positive person that is always rooting for you.”

"I have been pill free for a couple of months now … My fatigue and diarrhea are both gone and I’ve been able to regain the weight I lost.”


“I grew up with stomach issues, my mother found a link to Gluten being the cause of both of our issues. I was then raised Gluten free for a while. Started as a kid and I followed that through high school. When I would have gluten I would have severe stomach cramping/constipation.

After high school I started eating out and not following the gluten free diet. I went to the ER a few times trying to figure out what was wrong with my stomach. Did not realize the extent of my issues.

Last year I started developing some serious diarrhea problems that were persistent and would not stop without help with a pill. I had been following heart to kitchen for a while on instagram because of the anti seed oil movement amongst the preparedness community. I started trying to avoid the oils and realized it was helping a lot with my issues.

I was very anxious and nervous to spend the money on a health coach as I’ve been burned by that before. But after doing so I’ve been able to gain a lot of guidance on how to not just avoid bad foods but to find good ones to strengthen my gut.

Kayley also helped me find my root cause for some of the issues which I didn’t even think about. The learning videos have provided me with a lot of insight and I’ve been able to mold my diet around these suggestions.

I have been pill free for a couple of months now. I’ve had some flare ups here and there but overall I feel really great. My fatigue and diarrhea are both gone and I’ve been able to regain the weight I lost.

Kayley is very persistent and keeps tabs with you and is always there to answer questions, even though I am not super active with keeping up with all the food logs. I would 100% recommend to anyone who’s been having issues relating to gut stuff and I tell people all the time about what I’ve learned and direct them to the page.”

"In the matter of months I began to see tremendous changes in all of my symptoms.”

“Before working with Kayley, I have suffered from several mysterious symptoms including issues with digestion. I have seen countless specialists in UCSF, Stanford, and many homeopathic doctors since 2020.

No one was able to help me. By the time I found Kayley, I was very skeptical, on top of that I have spent all my savings in three years trying to gain my health back. Something told me to not give up and give Kayley's program a chance.

In the matter of months I began to see tremendous changes in all of my symptoms. I couldn't believe that without supplements and only with diet and healthy lifestyle changes my health took a turn into finally healing.

I just found out that I have a serious autoimmune disease. If Kayley wasn't in my life, I would be completely lost. Now I know that nutrition is everything and it can help tremendously with any health struggle a person may be going through.

Kayley takes your concern very seriously, she is very knowledgeable, and goes out of her way to help. She is very professional when it comes to her work and is an amazing human being.

I will strongly recommend Kayley to anyone who is going through a health challenge in their life. Kayley, I am forever thankful to you for everything that you have taught and supported me with in the past year.

To those who are considering Kayley's services, don't wait another second. She is the most honest, dedicated and diligent specialist that I have ever met throughout my uneasy health journey.”

"My gut issues are better which have resulted in regular bowel movements, less bloating and a flatter stomach. My body looks more toned in the mirror and I lost a few pounds."

"I highly recommend Kayley O'Brien for nutrition coaching because her unique approach was easy to understand as she taught me how to follow through for lasting changes in my diet and overall wellness. Kayley's knowledge of nutrition and passion for a healthy lifestyle helped me to achieve my healthy eating goals in just a few sessions.

Kayley listened to me without judgement of my bad habits and specifically addressed how I can improve my life with a more nutrient dense diet with foods I like and work with my busy lifestyle. I work long exhausting hours as a nurse which can leave me feeling depleted with low energy even on my days off. I'm 55 and consistently work out 3-4 times a week, yet still have issues with abdominal fat, gut issues, sleep issues and I need help on overall toning.

After Kayley thoroughly assessed my issues, she helped me with practical concepts to help me see some of the foods I was eating were causing my problems and gave me specific delicious non-intimidating meal plans that I can implement at home and work. My energy level is getting better because I feel better from the nutritious food I'm putting into my body and my sleep has improved with diet changes.

My gut issues are better which have resulted in regular bowel movements, less bloating and a flatter stomach. My body looks more toned in the mirror and I lost a few pounds even though I expected to gain weight since I've increased my protein intake and increased my free weights while working out. I think the weight loss was because I'm not holding on to waste which is toxic to the body.

Kayley helped me understand not to get consumed with my weight and to focus on health and toning. She encouraged me to look at my body in the mirror so I can see my progress. I'm on my way to benefitting from these changes in my diet for a healthier body and healthier future which feels really good."

"Her coaching really helped me to stay on track with my goals of increasing my weight and strength, as well as hold me accountable when keeping a log of my meals and the corresponding macronutrients that go along with them."

"Before working with Kayley, I was unsure of how to track my macros and how many calories I truly needed to fuel my performance, both in the weight room and on the mats.

Her coaching really helped me to stay on track with my goals of increasing my weight and strength, as well as hold me accountable when keeping a log of my meals and the corresponding macronutrients that go along with them.

With her help I was able to get a clear idea of not only how to track my macros, but how each one was aiding my body in recovery, digestion and performance.

What really made an impression on me about working with Kayley is her awareness of the importance of meeting calorie and macro goals with high-quality, organic and nutrient dense whole foods, along with her emphasis on whole-food supplementation.

Not only is Kayley very knowledgable and friendly, but her passion for food, nutrition, and wellness really shines through her work and services.

If you are looking for a good nutrition coach who genuinely cares about your wellbeing and will help you meet your goals, I highly recommend investing in the services that Kayley provides with Heart to Kitchen."

"After learning the proper foods and your body has the proper nutrition, it's amazing how much stamina and energy has increased."

"Working with Kayley was both very educational and effective. Being big boned – huskey with a sort of beer belly, I wanted to loose weight and shrink my stomach but I never had much luck, or lacked the discipline, I did intense workouts both crossfit and swimming but that was just not the answer.

After my first session with Kayley I was told what was wrong with some of my food and drink and why, and she helped me become more educated in what that food did, so I took some advice from the first session and because I knew what those foods both bad and good did to my body it was easy to change things, and with proper nutrition I started to see results in the form of workouts, and weight loss.

I didn’t really expect much change but it happened, so I started reading more and asking Kayley more questions in the successive sessions and went on the egg fast and soup diet and lost a lot of weight. Another thing that Kayley helped me with is how to keep the weight off, how to maintain that weight after losing it.

After learning the proper foods and your body has the proper nutrition, it's amazing how much stamina and energy has increased, I’m really happy that I got to work with Kayley, and as a nutritionist she explains in depth why she recommends the foods she does, a lot of knowledge and a passion for food pairings, recipes, and when to eat. With an endless supply of enthusiasm for life and passion for the outdoors. I would highly recommend using Kayley if you are interested in nutrition coaching, she’s a wonderful lady."

"I lost seven pounds, and I did so without starving myself. Above all, it was the practical steps laid out by Kayley that helped me achieve my goals."

"Before I began my coaching sessions with Kayley, I was entirely uneducated on the effects my diet had on my body and mind. I suffered from post-meal fatigue, and I often felt the need to snack due to a lack of nutrition provided by my food.

I now feel more energized and clear of mind thanks to the information and diet plan that Kayley provided to me. I lost seven pounds, and I did so without starving myself. Above all, it was the practical steps laid out by Kayley that helped me achieve my goals. I now have at least a dozen nutritious, delicious, and easy to make meals that I go to regularly. It’s one thing to learn, but it’s something else entirely when you are given an easy to follow roadmap to healthy eating.

Without Kayley’s meticulous recipe preparation, I would have walked away with plenty of useful knowledge, but ultimately I wouldn’t have known what to do with the information I was given. Kayley’s lessons were intuitive and palatable. She is an articulate speaker, and she will explain things to you at your own pace. If you want to change your life through your diet, I can’t think of anyone better to guide you than Kayley. I will be telling all of my family and friends how amazing her services are. I promise you, you will not be disappointed."
