Kelly Springer (née Lattimore) was born in Auburn, New York, the only daughter of Peggysue (Tennant) Lattimore and Timothy Lattimore.[1] She grew up with three brothers—Timothy, Todd, and Judson—and spent her early years on Hoopes Avenue before her family moved into Congressman John Taber's former home on South Street.

Her grandfather, Paul W. Lattimore Sr[1]., served as mayor of Auburn, New York from 1968 to 1993.[1] Her father was also a prominent local leader, serving as city councilman, mayor (2004–2007)[1] , and member of the Cayuga County Legislature. Kelly's mother worked as a licensed social worker. Her brother Todd Lattimore[2] became a Broadway actor,[2] and Judson Lattimore[3] </ref>went on to coach NCAA Division I lacrosse, most recently at Colgate University.[4]

Kelly graduated from Auburn High School in 1997 and earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from West Virginia University. She later completed her Master of Science in Health Education from State University of New York at Cortland in 2004 and became a Registered Dietitian through the Sodexo Internship Program.

Career

[edit]

Springer began her career at Auburn Community Hospital and Cornell Cooperative Extension,[5] where she worked in nutrition education for low-income families. After completing her dietetic internship in 2010, she became the bariatric coordinator at Auburn Memorial and then served as the employee wellness dietitian for Wegmans Food Markets.[6]

In 2012, she founded Kelly's Choice, LLC,[7] offering worksite wellness, personalized counseling, sports nutrition, and corporate speaking nationwide. Her team includes over 50 dietitians. Kelly has developed partnerships with schools, restaurants, and global food brands to promote healthier lifestyles.

In 2023, she launched the nonprofit Nutrition Education for All,[8] aimed at providing equitable, evidence-based nutrition education to underserved populations, including school children and Medicaid recipients. The nonprofit has received grant support from the Central New York Community Foundation[9] and other regional organizations.

Kelly is also the author of The New Weight Loss Era[10],[10] a guide for individuals, including those using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic™ and Mounjaro™, showing how nutrition can enhance weight loss and can improve chronic health conditions.

Media and Speaking Engagements

[edit]

Springer has been featured on Good Morning America,[11] FOX 5 Atlanta,[12] CBS Minnesota,[13][13] and in major publications including The Washington Post.[14] She is a sought-after keynote speaker,[15] having delivered over 100 presentations on nutrition's role in mental health, chronic disease prevention, GLP-1 guidance, women's health, and sports performance.

Her speaking clients include Deloitte[16], AFLAC, USA Lacrosse,[17] Syracuse University, NY State Department of Corrections, and many others. She is also a board member for several organizations, including the American Heart Association[18] and the Food Bank of Central New York.
