Founder and Lead Clinician

Dr. Keren E. Dolan is a doctoral-level clinical nutritionist and advanced practice clinician who brings a rare blend of scientific rigor, integrative wisdom, and deep compassion to her work. She specializes in supporting individuals with complex and chronic health concerns through care that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. 

Her clinical background includes advanced training in Medical Nutrition Therapy, functional assessment, biomarker interpretation, and nutritional genomics, allowing her to translate intricate clinical data into meaningful, personalized guidance. She also weaves in traditional healing modalities—including herbal medicine, aromatherapy, Somatic Experiencing®, and trauma-informed nutrition—to create a truly integrative approach to care.

Dr. Dolan has extensive experience supporting people navigating autoimmune, metabolic, gastrointestinal, inflammatory, and multi-system chronic conditions. She is known for her ability to listen deeply, collaborate thoughtfully, and create evidence-informed plans that respect each person’s lived experience and healing pace.

In addition to her clinical practice, she is an educator, mentor, and published researcher, teaching graduate and doctoral courses in clinical nutrition and herbal medicine and contributing to peer-reviewed literature on chronic illness, probiotics, and botanical therapeutics. 

At Nourish Well, Dr. Dolan’s care is grounded in clinical expertise, guided by integrative wisdom, and delivered with genuine compassion—supporting meaningful, sustainable healing for those navigating complex health journeys.
