Health Professionals near Boone County, IL

As a nutrition expert, I know that diet culture destroys our innate ability to listen to our bodies and causes disordered and emotional eating. I want to help you to mend your relationship with food and body. As a mom, I know that it’s our common goal to raise healthy humans. I also know all of the pressures we face to be perfect, look good, and eat right, all while balancing your family’s needs. I want to help you feel confident about what and how you’re feeding your family. Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Let's simplify it together so we can sustainably take care of our bodies - our one place to live in.

Clients are often tired of rigid food rules and constant dieting. It can be overwhelming to be expected to change the way you eat overnight. Many times, your doctor gives limited information about what to eat and does not always have the time to go into detail about what the means for your day-to-day life.

Many of my clients come to me wanting to reduce body fat after having seemingly tried everything and still not been able to maintain their goals. They want to achieve food freedom and maximize their mental and physical health but aren't exactly sure how to do it.

HI, I’m Alexis! I am a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian specializing in all forms of disordered eating, substance abuse, and medical nutrition therapy. My nutrition counseling approach would be described as weight neutral, client-centered, and evidence-based. I believe everyone has the potential to actualize a life free from the burdens of dieting, the pressure of self-criticism, and the distress of consistent body dissatisfaction. I also believe clients nutritionally affected by certain medical diagnoses can find joy in preparing meals consistent with their new version of health.

I work with individuals suffering from multiple forms of health breakdown caused by a misalignment of the bone at the top of the neck that supports the entire weight of the head. The top bone in the neck, known as the atlas vertebra, can misalign from an accident or injury putting stress on vital body balance centers. This compromise can result in numerous health challenges such as headaches, migraines, tinnitus, insomnia, depression, anxiety, nervousness, digestive issues, trigeminal neuralgia, vertigo, high blood pressure, heart irregularities, fibromyalgia, herniated and bulging discs, neck and back pain, and many others.

I am passionate about working with clients who have made the decision to take charge of their health and wellbeing. My practice is geared toward whole health, treating the entire person - body, mind, and spirit. I have a strong belief that all three are crucial to regaining wellness. I emphasize patient education and find it to be very rewarding when the little changes I suggest end up making a big difference in a client's life.

Your doctor may have recently told you about a new diagnosis or lab result that requires you to change the way you eat. Clients are often overwhelmed by the amount of misleading nutrition information on the internet and it can be a challenge to manage a chronic illness when you don't know where to start.

I help to educate and empower women through their recovery with disordered eating and negative body image.

When you are facing everyday pressure from school, work, friends, relationships, and busy schedules, you can quickly feel at odds with your body or lost in your self-care. Then, you layer on the mixed messages from social media and you can go down a spiral with negative thoughts on what you “should” or “shouldn’t be” doing. And that is why I’m so happy you’re here! Imagine being able to trust your body again, to take what it needs and leave what it doesn’t – this opens up space to focus on what’s important (and fun!) in your life!

My goal is to leave you with less confusion and cravings, and more energy to live your life day-to-day, confidence in your ability to maintain your health, and excitement around food!

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

Our is to provide weight inclusive medical nutrition therapy, using the principles of Intuitive Eating in a HAES aligned practice. The intent of our counseling is to help people find peace with food freedom, develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, and focus on gentle nutrition to manage and prevent chronic disease states.
