Biography
Kimsey is the founder and owner of Progressive Health and Wellness. Her passion for health began at an early age and has never waned. In addition to holding a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Fort Lewis College, Kimsey Self has completed the Master’s program from the Nutrition Therapy Institute (NTI) in Denver, Colorado, the nation’s leading private nutrition school. This is a 2-year program that consists of over 500 hours of advanced clinical education courses. Kimsey is the first student in the history of the school to complete this program in 10 months, while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She has also completed additional training in functional medicine, including Functional Blood Chemistry, Functional Brain Chemistry, Environmental Toxicity and Detoxification, The Intestinal Microbiome, and Mastering the Thyroid, and still regularly attends medical and business conferences. To bring everything full circle, Kimsey now teaches Pathophysiology and Clinical Nutrition for her alma mater, the Nutrition Therapy Institute.
Kimsey strongly believes that education is paramount to success. She has been a guest speaker several times on the Michael Brown KHOW radio show, an “I Heart Radio” top 100 broadcast reaching thousands across the nation, and has been interviewed on various podcasts and media outlets. She also holds public seminars, attends medical lectures and conferences, and follows the latest research in order to stay current in this ever-changing field and provide her clients with the best care possible. All credentials aside, her clients describe her passion as “infectious”, her humor as “contagious”, and her methods as “effective.” Kimsey is all about getting results while having a good time doing it.
In her spare time, Kimsey Self loves running with her dog, hiking, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.
