A Professional Who Knows the Gut Inside and Out
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist from California, Kaleigh Kellner has spent her career helping others make sense of their nutrition and gut health. When she was diagnosed with Crohn’s, a kind of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), that expertise suddenly became personal.
“I started CurQD when I was in, like, the height of a flare,” Kaleigh recalls. “I had just come off prednisone. My doctor was like, ‘Looks like we’ve got to put you on Skyrizi or something that you’re going to have to be on, basically, for the rest of forever.’ And I really didn’t want to go down that route.”
She asked for alternatives that aligned with her philosophy of natural, evidence-informed care—an approach that respected both the body and the data.
A Doctor’s Recommendation That Changed Her Direction
Instead of rushing into another long-term medication, Kaleigh asked if there were other options.
“I had asked her if there was any other, more natural option,” she says. “And she said, ‘Well, we are seeing some promising stats and studies with the Evinature CurQD. I think their success rate is, like, in the 90 percentages. So I highly recommend trying it.’”
Encouraged by her clinician and the research she reviewed, Kaleigh decided to try Evinature’s CurQD® Protocol. The process began with a personalized online assessment, which factors in details like calprotectin levels—a marker of intestinal inflammation—so people can be matched to an appropriate protocol level.
“When you purchase, it’ll ask for your calprotectin levels,” she explains. “If you have IBD or have had a recent colonoscopy, you should know those levels. Put it in—it’ll tell you which level you need.”
Postpartum Perspective and Day-to-Day Wins
As both a clinician and a patient, Kaleigh knew that Crohn’s disease and IBD management takes consistency and patience. What surprised her was how quickly she began to feel like herself again—and how that feeling held through postpartum, a time she describes as one of the highest-risk periods for symptom shifts.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I’ve not had a flare since taking it. Even since having Otto—which is one of the highest-risk times, postpartum as your hormones shift. And truly, I think it was all thanks to this.”
Gratitude in Her Own Words
Kaleigh speaks candidly about the emotional side of Crohn’s—and the relief she felt when day-to-day life started to feel possible again:
“I’m just so grateful to feel better. If you do struggle with IBD, it’s the worst. It really is life-altering. It really is so frustrating—and to feel better, I will never take that for granted again. Ever.”
She also shared a moment early on that stood out to her:
“In five days of taking CurQD, my bleeding has stopped. My tummy feels so much better I can’t believe it. Like I am genuinely shocked. I’m so beyond grateful for the supplement because the next step was going on to IV therapy immunosuppressants.”
For Kaleigh, simplicity mattered:
“To be on something so simple and natural—and something that actually works. To be shouting this from the mountaintops—live again—and I can get back into workout classes, and I can eat fiber and protein.”
And to others on the fence:
“If you are struggling with IBD and have been on the fence about CurQD, please try it. It’s worth it.”
Her closing message is both heartfelt and practical:
“Say some gratitude for the little things in your life that could get taken away at any second and just realize how good you have it. If your body is functioning properly—and if it’s not—figure out why. Dig deep. Find the culprit. Don’t just slap a band-aid on it. Figure out why your body’s not functioning the way that it should and fix the problem.”
Empowered by Science, Supported by Nature
Today, Kaleigh continues to thrive—personally and professionally. As a nutrition expert living with IBD, she brings a rare dual perspective: understanding firsthand what it means to navigate chronic inflammation while maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. Her story reflects a growing interest in integrative, doctor-developed options that can support everyday life alongside standard care.
