Level up your practice.
Better results for your clients, better business for you.
Now accepting applications for Fall 2024!
IS THIS YOU?
You're a nutrition professional and you want to deliver a top-notch service to your clients.
You suspect there's a deeper root issue to your client's symptoms but you're not sure what.
You have anxiety around charging your worth because you're not confident you can deliver.
You struggle with client retention and crave a systematic road map that keeps your clients engaged and successful.
You want to create raving fans that tell others about your personalized approach.
You know that lab testing may change the game for you, but you don't know where to start.
You're sick of wasting time Googling everything and want someone to guide you through the process of using lab work to build the practice of your dreams.
I've been in your shoes.
That's why I created Leveraging Labs.
A twelve-week, guided intensive to get you selecting, selling and implementing labs with confidence.
Here's how it works:
Attend live calls
Live weekly trainings as a group. These calls are for clinical deep-dives, learning how to interpret labs, case studies and developing effective protocols. If you can't attend live, a recording will be sent out immediately after the call. You get lifetime access to the recordings.
Complete graded case studies
With lab interpretations, putting in the reps is the key to building interpretation confidence! That's why you'll get feedback on your case study practice. This is hands-down the fastest way to grow your interpretation skills.
View modules + materials
Step-by-step resources for selecting and ordering labs, navigating lab logistics, high-level interpretations and done-for-you guides and protocol PDF's. The course platform is designed to be your personal clinical notes database to use in practice. You will have lifetime access to these resources.
Build your community
Running a private practice can be lonely. That's why curating an intimate group of practitioners working toward similar goals is an essential part of this program. No more going it alone - we're all stronger together.
This course gave me the confidence to upgrade my packages to offerings that will double my profits and provide premium services to my clients. I signed my first client onto my upgraded offering before the course even ended!
Leveraging Labs is the program you've always needed and wanted to take your clinical skills to the next level. In the world of functional nutrition, there's a lot of practitioner trainings and courses out there, but limited settings where you can take the information obtained from functional lab testing and build confidence applying it to real client cases.
This program truly took my confidence in the lab testing I was already ordering and well-versed in to a new level, which has been reflected by more successful client transformations. Kaely is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, and hardworking people in this space who genuinely wants everyone to succeed. I feel grateful for having the opportunity to work so closely with and learn from her!

I have looked for something like this for years, particularly one that was taught by a RD. Once I found it, I debated on this course for months. As someone that is not currently in private practice I didn't know if I could justify the cost relative to the amount of CEUs offered.
After the fact, this is the best continuing education investment I have made for myself to date. This is better than any conference I've attended because a course format spanning several weeks and months provides time for you to implement what you learn and take action. My only regret is that I didn't find this or do it sooner.
Thank you, Kaely!

I was constantly in search of something that'd help me with the business aspect of structuring a program for clients, but also provided education so that I could feel more confident in the recommendations I'm giving to clients, even just starting out in private practice.
Leveraging Labs provides the best of both worlds! You learn protocol development, supplement recommendations, pricing programs, program flow! It's SO valuable.
I would highly recommend over and over again.

@nutritiousedge
Leveraging labs was so valuable to me! Labs can obviously be overwhelming, and this has given me the confidence to add lab testing into my coaching program in a helpful way (and with integrity).
I was really looking to dive deeper and individualize my programming. Kaely presents lab testing in a way that is actually useful and practical to your clients.
This course is loaded with information and I highly recommend!

Leveraging Labs was exactly what I needed this year.
I felt stagnant in my Private Practice and doing it all alone is challenging. Kaely and Kevin were both so helpful in helping me not only learn how to order and interpret labs but also how to make a more robust Private Practice that would leave me better compensated and less burnt out.
I love the weekly group calls because it allowed me to get my questions answered and learn from the other RDs in the group.
If you are looking to improve your offerings, get insight into your business and do so in an organic manner, Leveraging Labs is for you.

I came into Leveraging Labs as a practitioner who already uses functional labs but felt overwhelmed when it came to creating protocols.
With Kaely's guidance and expertise I've completely leveled up my ability to serve my clients and give them results, not to mention the stress that's been alleviated now that I feel confident in my ability to interpret labs!
One thing I didn't expect going in was how much I would learn about ways I could optimize the business side of things - I completely revamped my offerings and have already (easily) made back what I invested in this program. Thank you Kaely!

@the.migraine.dietitian
This program totally changed how I run my business as an RD. I no longer feel like a sought out glorified weight loss coach. I'm using my area of expertise to help people uncover the cause of symptoms, help them get answers through functional nutrition testing, and most importantly feel heard. Then, by confidently creating nutrition protocols, I can create impact that even their doctors didn't have answers for. It is so much more rewarding to really maximize my scope of practice in that way. I can't thank Kaely enough for how this changed my business and how in love I am again with what I do every day.

@brookewest_rdn
I don't even know where to start, this course exceeded my expectation within the first two weeks (and we still had 6 more weeks left)!
I got my money's worth and more! This course was made with such amazing knowledge and care by Kaely. She brings the amazing experience she gives to her 1:1 clients into a group setting. It was amazing to connect with Kaely and all the other amazing dietitians. The wealth of knowledge she shares and the sheer amount of resources she provides sets you up for continued success even after the course ends.
I am leaving this with such confidence knowing that I can confidently read labs, but implement them seamlessly into my business. This course is amazing for new and seasoned RD's that are new to lab testing.
If you are thinking about joining this course, DO IT. You will not regret it, you will only regret it if you don't join!

Does this make the most sense?
Good news: You don't have to go it alone and you get to learn from the years I spent fumbling through this. I built this program to be the resource I wish I had back then.
I'll take the overwhelm out of building a thriving virtual practice with lab testing.
MEET KAELY
Kaely McDevitt, MS, RD, LD
Owner of KaelyRD
When I first started my private practice I was selling one-off sessions at a low price. I was stressed out about constantly selling, always scrambling to find new clients each month to make ends meet and I knew I wasn't delivering the client experience I was capable of.
So I went back to the drawing board with my husband (aka my live-in business coach) and he helped me create high-ticket offers that allowed me to build the client experience I wanted to deliver.
I went from stressed out and underpaid to selling high-ticket packages with ease, delivering exceptional results and maintaining a consistent wait list filled with my ideal client.
Running my business this way has created more income, impact and time-freedom than I could've ever imagined with private practice and I want that for you too.
Now that I've refined my system to keep my virtual practice thriving I have a deep calling to give back and to help elevate the RD profession as a whole. We go through extensive training to earn these credentials and I want to see RDs compensated for our level of expertise.
I'll help you leverage lab testing to create the income you deserve while changing lives in the process.
If you're ready to level up your practice I'd love to have you in my program!
LEVERAGING LABS
A twelve-week, high-touch mentorship program to get you selecting and selling labs confidently, making great money and changing lives while you do it.
Our next round kicks off in September!
GOT QUESTIONS?
Practitioners who:
1. have the ability to order labs through their credential.
2. want to learn how to select, order and sell lab testing confidently.
The ideal candidate for this course is a practitioner with a private practice (or aiming to start one soon) that wants to learn how to create a signature service and use lab work to build high-ticket offers.
Practitioners who are not able to order lab testing.
Leveraging Labs provides in-depth coverage of DUTCH, GIMAP, Blood Labs and HTMAs. You will also find bonus lectures on Vibrant America/Vibrant Wellness, Iodine testing, MRT and Mycotoxin testing. New labs will be added over time based on request and you will have lifetime access to the materials as the library grows over time.
The state of New York poses unique challenges for lab testing across all professions but there are some ways we can work around this:
Unfortunately, some labs like GI-MAP will not allow NY-based practitioners to set up accounts. We have work-arounds for this but it can sometimes get tricky and It is important that you know this prior to enrolling.
Feel free to email info@kaelyrd.com if you have any other questions about how this would work with a NY-based practice.
Extensively! In our weekly live calls we will dive DEEP into interpretations. I'll walk you through many case examples for each lab and you'll have the opportunity to submit graded case studies throughout the program as a way to practice your skillset. You will also find high-level interpretation modules for each lab covered in this course that you will keep life-time access to for future reference.
Because you get instant access to the course modules and downloadable resources, we do not offer refunds. If this program is not meeting your expectations please contact us at info@kaelyrd.com so we can work with you to help make this a good fit.
Our group calls will be on Wednesdays between 11-6 CST - upon enrollment, you'll get to vote for your preferred time and I'll pick the one that gets the most votes.
Live class recordings will be sent out to all members so that you can view on your own time or re-watch if you need to reference something.
Feel free to contact us at info@kaelyrd.com with your questions.
Testimonials
I felt at a loss prior to this program trying to tie together my background of intuitive eating with the world of functional nutrition.
Kaely took such a weight off my shoulders with LL. I feel extremely more comfortable offering labs and promoting my services for hormone and GI health.
I would 500% recommend this program to any dietitian or professional who is wanting to dive into the world of functional labs but feels held back due to lack of confidence or training.
Kaely is so generous with her resources and always answers all members questions with a depth of knowledge and honesty. I can't thank Kaely enough and constantly refer back to her resources for help with client protocols and interventions.

@freely.fed
The leveraging lab program was great. I have been an RD since 2009 but am new to private practice. Not only did I learn how to set up lab accounts and interpret the results Kaely also provides ideas for growing your business.
She talks about how to build and price packages which was huge for a newbie like me. I am constantly referring to my notes from the program when working with clients to help with developing their specific protocols.
I highly recommend this program!
Tracey Sauke
@thenutritionnudger
I can’t say enough amazing things about LL!
The structured course has allowed me to be much more confident in incorporating labs into my practice and I’ve been able to bring more value to my clients and most importantly, further support them in achieving their health and wellness goals.
Kaely is super helpful and is available to answer all your questions throughout the 10 weeks.
I’d highly recommend LL for any RD looking for more functional wellness clarity!

@nutritionthyme_withtara
As a new dietitian setting up my private practice, I felt like this course came at the perfect time. I knew I wanted to include functional lab testing into my packages, but was unclear of how to structure it or where to begin.
Kaely was such a wealth of knowledge and helped me not only learn about each lab and how to set this up, but structure my packages and programs to be most effective for my client’s journey. I loved connecting on a weekly basis with other dietitians in similar fields, as it can get pretty lonely running a practice from home!
While I knew investing in a program was necessary to grow, I didn’t know how quickly it would pay off.
During the 6 weeks of the program, after implementing the strategies I learned, I was able to make 8x my investment!
I feel confident not only using functional lab tests, but also selling a program that is truly going to change the lives of my clients.
I’m so grateful to Kaely and her team, and feel excited to continue on this path of building out my private practice!

@wellspringnutrition
I honestly think the most beneficial part of this experience was having Kaely as the teacher. She is a wealth of knowledge and backed by real life experience. Just having her as a resource to chat with for 10 whole weeks allowed me to ask many of the (un-googleable) questions I had been pondering but no one to ask them to. She helps you work through things piece by piece and then draw a big picture conclusion.
Macy Coleman
@wellwomennutrition
Leveraging Labs was so much more than I thought I was signing up for!
Kaely provided us with so many tools and resources for our businesses. Not only did she provide a lot of education on the various labs available to us, how to order, and how to talk about them to clients, she also covered everything from marketing, to systems/processes, pricing, and structure.
The course and business coaching gave me the confidence to raise my prices once I had realized how significantly I was undercharging for the number of hours I was putting in per client.
(and I signed a new client at my new price point just 2 days after the program ended!).
My onboarding process for new clients feels streamlined and seamless thanks to her suggestions and templates, and I have so many new ideas moving forward.
Kate Netz
@katenetznutrition
I really enjoyed working with Kaely and the other RDs through the leveraging labs program.
I was previously set up with a few labs but had not yet used them in practice.
I feel more comfortable determining which labs to recommend and how to put together an individualized package for a client based on their symptoms and health issues.
This program has also helped me get over my fear of charging more for including labs in my services because I know I can help my clients better and faster with the use of that data.
I would recommend this program to anyone thinking about how to better incorporate lab testing in their practice.

Alexandra Paetow
@postpartumnutritionist
My confidence in both functional lab interpretation and in myself as a private practice dietitian has grown exponentially as a result of this program. I went into this program hoping to learn more about DUTCH and GI-Map testing, but I came out with so many new tools and systems in place in my practice than I ever expected. Kaely is incredibly knowledgeable about functional medicine, and is able to communicate the information in such a laid-back and accessible way that's easy to understand. Connecting with other RDs in similar niches was another added bonus! I'd recommend this to any dietitian looking to add functional lab testing to their practice.
Laura Dragon
@hormone_nutrition
I signed up for the Leveraging Labs course because I was seriously considering opening my own practice. I learned so much about labs & protocols over 8 weeks that would have taken me months (if not years!) to learn on my own. For me, the business portion of the course was also extremely useful. The formula that Kaely and Kevin provide untangles the mess that was pricing & structuring my offerings. The community of other dietitians in my same shoes was super supportive as well. I have so much more confidence opening my own practice now - it was truly a worthwhile investment!
Madison Templeton
@madison.templeton.nutrition
I went back and forth a lot about whether I should do Leveraging Labs, since I was just starting my private practice. I knew from the beginning, I wanted to offer functional labs but felt overwhelmed registering as a provider and also trying to learn how to read the reports.
I decided to go forward with doing this program and after the first live session, felt like I had already gained so much information from Kaely and gotten my money's worth. Kaely is so willing to help you and offers such a wealth of knowledge during the entire course. Leveraging labs gives you the ability to feel comfortable with all things labs but Kaely also helps to establish a connection with all of the dietitian's in the course, which is an amazing support! HIGHLY recommend!
Michal Vande Kamp

Kaely provides some OUTSTANDING services to her clients. She truly wants to get her patients well and thriving and provides a level of care that can be truly life-changing.
Taylor Rickrode
@taylorrickrode
Leveraging Labs was a wonderful experience and growth tool for my business.
I had been setting up my practice for just a couple months when I started the course. It provided me with some structure and professional community when I really needed it.
Kaely is a wealth of knowledge and the course was very well-organized, comprehensive, and interesting. I learned a lot about functional labs and feel confident adding them to my practice.
I also really enjoyed getting to know other dietitians in similar fields, and learning some nutrition business and marketing strategies.
Highly recommend this course!
Rachel Doyle
@happygut.nutritionist
This program exceeded my expectations.
I have already benefited so much from using Kaely's templates and protocols. After finishing this program I understand the client experience so much clearer, and I know how I can make the process seamless for them every step of the way.
Kaely is so knowledgeable and sharing her experience is just what I needed to get me started on the right foot with my business.
I also really appreciated how this program takes the HUGE topic of functional labs and condenses it into something so manageable while providing so much value.
Because so many of the important bases were covered, I have really felt confident when on-boarding my first clients!
Chelsea Potter
@good.mood.nutrition
I loved Leveraging Labs! I learned so much about how to add functional labs to practice successfully, as well as information on interpreting the labs themselves. Kaely knows so much and shared all her knowledge with us. She is a great mentor!
Each call was with a small group so I got to ask a ton of questions, and could ask questions in the Slack as well. In addition to the calls Kaely provided so much information on the online modules. There was great info on interpreting labs and tips for how to deal with the lab companies. There is a lot of useful content in this program that I keep returning to!
I went from 0 to being very comfortable using functional labs in practice. I feel like I saved so much time by doing this program. I highly recommend it.
Coral Edelson
@browngirl.nutrition
Kaely's provides a humble "non-salesy" approach to building a business that allows you to be compensated for your expertise. I've been in business for 5 years, and she challenged the way I think about my pricing structure and how to set realistic outcomes for my clients. My favorite part was not just reviewing the labs, many other people can review labs, but the systems of how to think about labs and the confidence to implement them. I also enjoyed being in a community of like-minded RD's who are entrepreneurs, love functional nutrition and genuinely want to help our patients find answers that they desperately need.
Bethany Frazier
@kansascitydietitian
In school and in my first jobs as an RD, I always loved learning about nutrition related labs, how to interpret them and how to use nutrition interventions to optimize clinical lab values. I am in the beginning stages of building my practice and knew I wanted to integrate lab testing into my services, but wasn't really sure how to do this. Kaely's Leveraging Labs course came just at the right time for me. In 8 weeks, I learned 1) how to get set up as a provider with specialty lab companies, 2) which specialty lab tests are most useful in a private practice setting and 3) how to integrate lab testing into a high value counseling package. The Leveraging Labs course also provided a great introduction to lab interpretation, and how to design interventions to address abnormal lab values.
Lab testing adds so much value to our work as dietitians. Kaely does an excellent job teaching you what you need to know about how to integrate lab testing into a high value, high quality service offering for your clients.
Melissa Chapnick
@fertilefulenutrition
This program has provided me with a strong foundation on how to set up my own virtual practice. Beyond that, I am excited to have learned more about utilizing and interpreting labs like GI Map, Dutch and DHA that will complement my current work as a CLT and better enable me to identify root causes. With more tools in my toolbelt, I feel better equipped and more confident in helping my clients achieve their health goals!
Rebecca Oosterhaut
I absolutely LOVED taking this course. I was hesitant because I am a new RD and am not currently seeing any clients. But after taking this course, I feel confident to sell my program and take on new clients. This course gave me confidence to feel like I can actually help individuals succeed in their health journey.

The Leveraging Labs program gives a comprehensive picture on how to incorporate lab testing into your private practice. The program will teach you not only the clinical skills necessary, but also the business skills needed to build out your signature offer.
Rivka Sochet
@rivkasochet_rdn
This is a program to get you ready to order labs before it even ends! It's a comprehensive program that includes a mentor, peers, modules, and live classes. The additional business and financial guidance was wonderfully helpful. It's overwhelming to figure out how to put everything together and this program helps with each step of the way!
