Priscilla Swahn MS RD
Founder & CEO
There was a time before she became a Registered Dietitian when she felt extremely frustrated with how she looked, and she felt so confused about how to eat to manage her weight and hormones. Her passion stems from her own health journey – from being diagnosed with a heart murmur at birth as well as Shone’s Complex, a very rare congenital heart defect consisting of multiple left heart obstructive defects. At age 12, she was 30 pounds overweight and her “well-meaning” Cardiologist told her “you can never get fat or you’ll die.”
She was left struggling with her self-confidence and insecure in her body. Although she was only 12, she felt so uncomfortable in her skin and motivated to make a change. Determined to lose the weight, she began cutting down on portions and following low calorie diets. This led her to cutting out fat, starving all the time, and developing unhealthy eating behaviors.
Speed forward! She gets her Master of Science in Nutrition and becomes a Registered Dietitian. It wasn’t until working in the hospital where she saw patients come in, put on medication, given a generic diet and sent on their way with little to no improvement, that she realized the entire approach to “dieting” for women with a hormone and thyroid condition was ALL WRONG!
This was when she opened her own private practice dedicated to serving ONLY women with a thyroid and hormone condition. She applied her research and what she learned and slowly but surely, clients were seeing results! Not only were clients finally losing weight and feeling great, but they were also returning to their Dr who was also reducing and taking them off thyroid medication as a result of their labs improving from the diet. This is how she developed The Keto Girl Method, a mindful, anti-inflammatory keto approach.
As a Registered Dietitian, she took her own struggles with poor body image and disordered eating to create a successful private practice where she and her team get to show women how to lose weight consistently, reverse their PCOS, Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, get off thyroid medication and create sustainable eating habits so they can be the best version of themselves, empowered to finally live their BEST LIFE!
Hormone & Thyroid Weight Loss
Should Be Sustainable
We know low calorie and low fat diets don’t work, because you’re here. Many people love the benefits of keto but find it hard to sustain, as keto looks differently for women with conditions like PCOS, Endometriosis, Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s. When it comes to food, we created the Keto Girl Method to inspire women to lose weight consistently, feel amazing while being able to reduce and get off medication. The Keto Girl Method allows women to finally trust their body again, while eating what they LOVE, with the occasional taco and margarita, and maintain their results for good!!!
