Health Professionals in Minnesota
I LOVE helping people live healthier. My style is highly comprehensive - looking at the many pieces that make up our nutritional health. I am skillful at helping people reach a healthier weight (especially those who have attempted other ways unsuccessfully). I am also passionate about topics like brain health, good mood foods, preteen/teen nutrition, ADHD/ADD, confidence and self- esteem, nutrient deficiencies, eating best for your DNA, food sensitivity and anti-inflammation recommendations (Leap MRT testing). I also have a significant clinical background so eating for healthy aging and disease prevention is also in my wheelhouse.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed or stuck when it comes to food, even if they “know” what they should be doing.

They want to feel more confident in their choices, improve their relationship with food, and build sustainable habits that support both their physical and mental health.

My ideal clients are adult women and teenage athletes who sense something is off — their skin, energy, hormones, or performance isn't where it should be. Many are also thinking longer term, about longevity and healthspan, and how the choices they make now shape how they feel and function for decades to come. They're ready to look deeper, and I help them do that through a functional, integrative approach that gets specific to them — not a generic plan, but a real strategy built around their whole picture.

Struggling through years of restrictive dieting and self-doubt, I know firsthand how exhausting the weight loss cycle can be. The frustration of doing “everything right” yet feeling stuck led me to question not just my habits—but the entire approach to nutrition.
That experience shaped my path as a dietitian. Today, I combine evidence-based nutrition science with a deep understanding of the emotional and behavioral patterns that influence how we eat. I believe lasting change doesn’t come from rigid rules or short-term fixes, but from building a sustainable, balanced relationship with food.

My ideal patients have a chronic condition that hasn't resolved through conventional care. Tested, treated, told everything is normal — yet still suffering. They want the root cause addressed, not symptoms managed indefinitely.
Most arrive with chronic pain, IBS, digestive issues, anxiety, headaches, insomnia, or auto accident injuries. Many sense their symptoms are connected — that instinct is correct.
Steven identifies the pattern driving each condition and builds treatment around it. Patients often say it's the first time someone connected all the dots. Care moves from relief to correction to stability.

After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!
