a short bio
Katie McKersie is a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and the founder of Holistico. After years in clinical practice helping clients with acne, eczema, gut and hormone issues, she saw the same problem again and again: synthetic supplements that were not moving the needle on bloodwork. She founded Holistico to create supplements made from real, nutrient-dense whole foods instead of synthetic isolates, and to put testing first, so people supplement based on their own results, not guesswork.
