Community Nutritionist

Community Nutritionists and Dietitians in the St. Louis Area, Missouri, and Illinois

Improve your Health and Overall Wellbeing with the Support of a Community Dietitian Nutritionist

What is a community nutritionist?

A community nutritionist promotes health and disease prevention in their communities. Community nutrition is a distinct branch of dietetics concentrated on providing education and resources tailored to the community’s requirements.

Its mission encompasses instructing individuals on the significance of healthy diets and behaviors while also encouraging community awareness regarding their health needs.

What does a community nutritionist do?

At Branz Nutrition, we are weight-inclusive dietitians who advocate for a Health At Every Size® approach using intuitive eating concepts to nourish our bodies and our children, all in an effort to prevent disordered eating and/or eating disorders.

We use evidence-based treatments to improve many disease states, advocate for weight diversity, and work to keep our clients from falling victim to diet schemes, fads, and gimmicks.

​

We can work with your community, providing nutrition education tailored to your organization’s needs. Whether you’re educators, camp counselors, or coaches looking to learn more about eating disorder prevention, families looking for ways to improve nutrition status, or corporations looking to improve employee wellness, contact us. We can develop programs and counsel your community on food, health, and nutrition.

What can a community nutritionist do to address disparities?

At Branz Nutrition, we are passionate about communicating the anti-diet, Health At Every Size® -message to our community. We as a culture have struggled for so long with this idea that thinner = healthier, and it’s absolutely not true. We are committed to size-inclusivity in all spheres of life: health, work, school, and culture. We educate, advocate, and participate in the vast community of healthcare providers that honor all bodies, providing everyBODY with quality, compassionate treatment.

When we can empower one person to feel assured in their skin regardless of their size, we feel confident that one person will help to change another person’s mindset and the domino effect begins. FOOD FREEDOM FOR ALL! 🙂

Our Testimonials

Thank you for choosing us as the Best Dietitian Practice in STL (2023)

  • There have been times where my daughter will eat 4 bowls of carrots and turn down a cookie, and there have been times where she will want all the fruit snacks and nothing else, but it doesn’t stress me out because I know now that it’s just what her body wants in the moment. The information provided in your course not only helps my kids, but also opened my eyes to some of my own internal struggles around sugar and meal times!"

  • My sister Gifted this program to me and I'm so glad she did! I've already gotten so much out of watching the modules and reading the PDFs."

  • Understanding and implementing the Division of Responsibility in Feeding really takes the pressure off meal times. I love sitting down to enjoy dinner with my family and I hope it’s a memory my kids enjoy when they’re older too."

  • Also, againg, thank you for being so kind to "A". She usually does not like seeing "doctor like people", but she actually enjoys coming to see you, so that says a lot.

    by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

  • "For most of my life, I have correlated the size of my body to being loved and accepted. The smaller I am, the more lovable and acceptable I am. Giving up the dieting, the rules, and the noise has given me the freedom to trust, appreciate and accept love from others as well as myself".
