YOUR DIETITIAN, YOUR TEAMMATE

Hi, I’m Katie.
I’m glad you’re here.

KATIE CAPEN, RD, LDN · FOUNDER, THE HAPPY GUT

I’m a registered dietitian who believes nutrition should make your life feel fuller—not smaller.

My clinical nutrition background shapes an approach that is both thoughtful and practical. At The Happy Gut, that means listening first, getting curious about what works for you, and making room for the foods and moments you love.

I see clients virtually through Nourish, a telehealth nutrition platform. Nourish takes care of scheduling, insurance, and billing, so our time together can be about you.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. We can start right where you are.

Let’s get to know each other

SMALL STEPS. A THOUGHTFUL START.

Your next chapter
starts with hello.

No pressure to know the perfect next step.

A conversation,
not a checklist.
  1. 01

    Say hello.

    Share your name, email, and how you found The Happy Gut. If a doctor or provider sent you, let us know who.

  2. 02

    Check your inbox.

    Look for a welcome email from The Happy Gut with a little introduction and your Nourish referral link.

  3. 03

    Book through Nourish.

    Katie sees clients virtually through Nourish. Scheduling, insurance, and billing all happen there, not directly with The Happy Gut.

THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE

A happier gut.
A brighter you.

A thoughtful first step. Appointments are scheduled through Nourish, not on this website. No payment is collected here.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

A few things
you might wonder.

Starting something new comes with questions. There’s room for those, too.

What happens when I sign up?

You’ll receive a welcome email from The Happy Gut with your Nourish referral link. Signing up is a way to express interest; it does not create a patient account, book an appointment, or start a care relationship. Booking happens through Nourish.

Do I need a diagnosis to reach out?

No diagnosis is needed to say hello or learn about the practice. Please keep this form to contact details only. Any personal health history should be discussed through an appropriate care channel, not this signup form.

How do I book an appointment with Katie?

Katie sees clients through Nourish, a telehealth nutrition platform. After you sign up, your welcome email includes a Nourish referral link. Scheduling, insurance eligibility, and any fees are handled by Nourish, not by this website or by Katie directly.

Will I have to give up foods I love?

The Happy Gut’s approach makes room for enjoyment, flexibility, and your individual needs—not a blanket list of food rules. Any specific nutrition changes would be discussed individually with Katie.

Can I ask about appointments and pricing?

Absolutely. Availability, session options, insurance coverage, and any fees are confirmed through Nourish when you book. You can also reply to your welcome email with general questions. No payment is collected on this website.

I’m a healthcare provider. Can I share this with patients?

Yes. Share this page with patients who would like to work with a registered dietitian. When they sign up, they can choose “A healthcare professional” and add your name. They’ll receive a Nourish referral link by email and see Katie through Nourish.

Will you send me a newsletter?

Only when you choose the optional updates checkbox and confirm your email. Otherwise, your signup is just a request to connect. Every optional update should include a way to unsubscribe.

What this form collects

We collect the name and email you enter, your referral source, any optional referrer name, your consent choices, and the time of your request. Please do not include symptoms, diagnoses, records, insurance details, or other medical information.

How it is used

Your details are used to respond to your request and send a welcome email. Occasional nutrition notes and practice updates are optional and require a separate email confirmation. Your details are not sold or used for advertising tracking by this website.

Services that help the site work

Cloudflare hosts this website, stores signup records in D1, and provides Turnstile spam protection. Resend processes email delivery. Your welcome email includes a link to Nourish, a separate telehealth platform with its own privacy policy; scheduling and any health information are handled there, not on this website. To limit abuse, the application temporarily stores a keyed, non-readable identifier derived from an IP address, not the raw IP address. Hosting and email providers may process technical logs under their own policies.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from optional updates using the email link. You can request access, correction, or deletion of your contact details by replying to a message from The Happy Gut. Unsubscribing stops optional updates; it is not the same as deleting a contact request.

Retention and care information

Contact records are kept while needed to respond to your request or provide updates you chose to receive. This signup is not a secure patient portal. It does not establish a clinical care relationship. Please use an appropriate care channel for personal health information.

THE HAPPY GUT

A thoughtful starting point.

This website introduces The Happy Gut and allows visitors aged 18 or older to request contact and optionally subscribe to updates. Please submit your own details and obtain permission before naming a referrer.

Not personal medical advice

Information on this site is general and does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from your healthcare team. Food imagery is illustrative, not a meal prescription. Individual experiences and needs differ.

No appointment or care relationship

Submitting the form does not book a session, make a payment, create a patient account, or establish a dietitian–client relationship. Sessions with Katie are booked through Nourish, a separate platform with its own terms; availability, service area, insurance coverage, and any fees are confirmed there before services begin.

Using this site

Please do not submit another person’s email without permission, misuse the form, or send medical information through it. Questions can be sent by replying to your welcome email.
