Meet Krista Dewar

DNP, ARNP, FNP-C, DipACLM

Family nurse practitioner · Lifestyle Health & Wellness · Dubuque, Iowa

Why Nathanael wanted you to meet her

Nathanael Elijah Smith met Krista at the 2025 American College of Lifestyle Medicine nursing gathering. Although he was a stranger to her, she took time to get to know him.

That mattered to him. He experienced her attention as a sign that she cares about people, and he wanted to share his appreciation with patients and families. His personal encounter is why she appears first in Kitchen Monk’s provider features.

The encounter described here is Nathanael’s own experience at a professional gathering. The practice details below come from Krista’s website.
