Umo Callins

Owner and Founder, REGISTERED DIETITIAN

Umo Callins is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), board-certified sports dietitian (CSSD), media dietitian, and certified personal trainer. She has over 15 years of experience providing medical nutrition therapy, nutrition counseling, and physical activity training to several clients across Oklahoma and surrounding states.

Umo specializes in sports and fitness nutrition and has extensive experience in helping individuals with weight management. In addition to physical and emotional health and fitness, she works with individuals seeking help with  nutritional management of diseases and medical conditions such as: heart disease, hormone imbalances, disordered eating, and learning how to follow a balanced diet. As a mother of three kids who are involved in sports and activities, she also has a genuine passion for educating parents and guardians on how to keep the family healthy!

Umo believes that when it comes to achieving a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to look beyond what you eat and see the bigger picture. This includes the necessities of sleep, stress, physical activity, emotional health, and other individual habits. Establishing a foundation of healthy eating and staying active are key. The greatest challenge for most is how to accomplish this while navigating the obstacles of everyday life. This is why Umo is passionate about tailoring her clients’ care and instilling full confidence in the behavior changes made to become the BEST version of themselves.

When Umo isn’t at Well Rooted, you can find her on local TV stations doing segments sharing her nutrition knowledge and expertise. She enjoys writing for various media outlets and working with brands. Her favorite activities are having dance parties with her adorable kiddos and spending time with her amazing husband. She and her husband work together training and fueling athletes to obtain their optimal performance and improve physical recovery. Umo is equally in love with physical fitness as she is with nutrition, and fulfills this through strength training, spin class, or high-intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.) As a self-proclaimed foodie, she enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking delicious meals and trying new restaurants.

Recognizing the ever-evolving nature of the field of dietetics, Kelsey is motivated to continually expand her education and skills to better serve her community in the years to come. Her personal goal as a dietitian is not only to impart knowledge about nutrition but also to foster intentional relationships with each of her clients.
