Natalie Kruzliakova, PhD, RDN, LDN
Natalie Kruzliakova, PhD, RDN, LDN is a registered dietitian nutritionist based in the state of Indiana. Her specialty is helping women overcome hormonal imbalance, including those that struggle with irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone-related mood changes.
Natalie earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Tech, and then went on to pair her interest in behavior change with nutrition, earning her PhD in Behavioral and Community Science and completing dietetic coursework and her dietetic internship at Virginia Tech.
Before moving into private practice, Natalie worked in academia as a graduate-level nutrition professor, dietetic internship director, and community-based researcher working to improve maternal health outcomes of mothers in East Central Indiana. Throughout her academic and dietetics career, Natalie has worked with people from all walks of life. She takes a functional approach with her clients, and encourages a view of the 'big picture' when supporting them toward optimal health. Natalie has spent her career developing the skills to dig deep to find up to date, evidenced-based research to guide her practice; research which at times deviates from mainstream nutrition recommendations.
Natalie is also a former NCAA Division I track and field athlete. While her days of racing around the track are over, she stays busy keeping up with her two young children and spends most of her time with her family around the kitchen island, cooking and dreaming up the next home improvement project.
