Functional Medicine Nutrition | Whidbey Island | Metabolism & Hormones
Now Accepting Regence!
Your body isn’t broken—it’s overwhelmed.
And if nothing seems to be working anymore, you’re not alone.
If you’re dealing with weight gain, fatigue, or digestive issues, it can feel frustrating, confusing, and exhausting.
You’ve likely tried diets, workouts, supplements, or even medication… but your body still isn’t responding the way it used to.
Most of the women I work with come to me after trying everything else.
This is where things finally start to make sense.
I’m a functional medicine nutritionist on Whidbey Island, helping women support their metabolism, hormones, and relationship with food through a nervous system–informed approach.
Serving Whidbey Island and virtual clients, with in-person, walk-and-talk, and online sessions available.
You might be here because…
Many women searching for a functional medicine nutritionist are looking for answers that go beyond standard approaches.
- You’ve tried diets, strength training, or even GLP-1 medications—but your body still isn’t responding the way you hoped
- You feel stuck in weight gain or low energy
- You’re dealing with bloating or unpredictable digestion
- You feel disconnected from your body or unsure what it actually needs
- You’re in perimenopause and nothing seems to work like it used to
Why this is happening
Most approaches focus on control—adjusting macros, timing meals, pushing harder, or adding more supplements.
But your body changes when it feels safe, not stressed.
If your nervous system is dysregulated, your metabolism, hormones, and digestion will often resist change—no matter how hard you’re trying to get it right.
My approach to metabolism and hormone support: regulate first, then rebuild
Inside my work with women on Whidbey Island and beyond, we focus on creating the conditions where your body can actually respond.
This includes:
- Nervous system regulation (polyvagal-informed care)
- Blood sugar and metabolic stability
- Hormonal support through nutrition and daily rhythms
- Realistic changes that fit your life
This isn’t about forcing your body to change.
It’s about creating the stability your body needs so change can last.
Using or considering GLP-1s? You’re in good company.
Whether you’re just getting started or have already seen changes in your weight, you may still feel unsure how to support your body in a way that’s sustainable.
Many of the women I work with are asking:
- How do I lose weight while still properly nourishing my body and maintaining muscle?
- How do I maintain results without relying on medication long-term?
- Am I truly healing my body—or unintentionally starving it?
- Why do I still feel unsure how to nourish myself in a way that actually works in my real life?
Together, we focus on rebuilding a strong foundation—supporting your metabolism, maintaining muscle, and helping your body feel safe and sustainable without extremes.
What you can expect
Clients often experience:
- More stable energy throughout the day
- Less bloating and improved digestion
- A clearer, more confident understanding of how to eat and support their body
- A calmer, more grounded relationship with food
- Feeling more like themselves again
(Weight may shift over time—but the focus is restoring function first.)
If your challenges feel more rooted in your relationship with food, you can learn more about that work here.

What clients are saying
“I finally feel supported and not alone…”
Wow, I can’t say enough good things about Karin Lund’s support! I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, confused, and honestly burnt out trying to feel ‘somewhat normal’ again. My periods have been increasingly challenging, and finding Karin was truly an answer to prayer. From our very first consult, I felt like a weight was lifted—I don’t have to do this alone! Her knowledge, expertise, and holistic approach made me feel so supported. I’m beyond grateful and already excited for our next session!

“A realistic, doable plan that actually fits my life…”
I feel so fortunate to have been a patient of Karin Lund. It’s so hard to find a provider that really listens and helps you find a path toward true wellness. I’ve seen more doctors than I can count with a ton of health issues going on and she not only helped my physical health, but she was so compassionate. I get easily overwhelmed and Karin helped me find a treatment plan that felt doable. I cannot say enough good things about her and I recommend her to everyone!

“A completely different relationship with food…”
Working with Karin helped me understand my deeper relationships and needs with nutrition as I’m getting older. It wasn’t simply a calorie deficit meal plan with benchmarks. I learned to look at my meals more holistically, and have a better relationship with food, now.
