In Memoriam: Darlene Kvist, MS, CNS, LN

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our founder, mentor, and dear friend, Darlene Kvist, on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

Darlene founded Nutritional Weight & Wellness over 25 years ago, dedicating her time as a counselor and nutritionist to helping countless people transform their health through the power of real food nutrition. Her passion for wellness reached far beyond our local community — through her seminars, radio show, and podcasts, she inspired listeners across the country and around the world.

Beyond her professional contributions, Darlene was known for her kindness, generosity, and the wealth of knowledge she freely shared. She was a mentor to many and had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and supported.

Darlene’s impact on our organization — and on the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her — will never be forgotten. Her legacy of warmth, wisdom, and integrity will continue to guide us at Nutritional Weight & Wellness.
