Health Professionals near Brentwood, MO

I’m Kate, a registered and licensed dietitian based in St. Louis, MO. I work with adults and adolescents of all genders to heal their relationships with food and body by using an anti-diet, body-neutral approach. I enjoy supporting my clients to find peace with food, body, and movement despite being in a diet-centered world with ever changing body ideals.

I received my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014 and completed a three year independent residency at Arizona Digestive Health where I practiced as a licensed naturopathic physician alongside MD gastroenterologists. I have managed thousands of patients suffering with IBS, IBD, GERD, Dyspepsia, Gas/Bloating, Celiac, Hepatitis, Fatty Liver and More! As of now, Missouri is not a licensed state for naturopathic doctors and thus I do not hold a Missouri license. I strongly recommend all potential clients have a primary care physician such as a MD or DO.

I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist with over 8 years of experience. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders, athletes looking to harness the power of nutrition without falling into obsession, those who are sick of the cycle of dieting and body hate, or anyone who is simply unsure how to fuel their body while navigating the confusing nutrition and food messaging in our society today.

My ideal client is looking for a solution to a health concern that either has no medical solution, or for which the only known solution is medication or surgery. Many people come to me for allergy symptoms (eczema, congestion, digestive complaints, etc.), digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, SIBO, candida), chronic infections and many other health concerns. The techniques I use are gentle enough for people in almost any condition (I have treated newborns, geriatric patients, and patients with spinal metastasis). I have helped patients avoid an array of unwanted treatments from antibiotics to spinal surgery.

As a registered dietitian, I specialize in intuitive eating by teaching individuals to give up the diet mentality and start focusing on incorporating all foods into their diet. I also use this same philosophy among the athletes I work with and those struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. I teach my clients to empower themselves to start saying yes to foods instead of no. Changing the way we eat is a lifestyle change but it doesn’t have to be radical either. Nutrition does not have to be difficult, but somehow we have made eating food very confusing.

As a wellness coach, I help clients navigating a path to the health changes they desire most. Some specific challenges I have helped clients overcome include weight loss, improved nutritional habits, improved fitness, and being able to reduce or eliminate need for medications. Research has shown that lasting change is a process which takes time, curiosity, patience, perseverance and a willingness to grow. Clients often come to me after spending months or even years "stuck in the muck", frustrated at being unable to outgrow old habits which are having a negative impact on their health and well-being.
