Health Professionals near Kirkwood, MO

I have been in practice for 26 years, and have had the privilege and honor to assist thousands of people pursuing natural and effective healthcare, and an answer for their problem. It is rarely easy, especially because problems become compounded due to delay, western medicine approaches, and certain lifestyle choices. We all hope for and want good health, to feel good most of the time, and to feel great some of the time, but things happen that put us in the cross-hairs of worrisome health issues.Common, are the side effects of stress, sleep deprivation, and poor diet.

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.

Is food making you feel poorly? Perhaps you have chronic struggles such as migraines, eczema, or diarrhea. Or maybe you're finding yourself overeating, stress eating or feeling bad about your body and how you look. You've likely tried a variety of things to solve your nutrition problems, but they haven't worked long term. You probably wish food would be more enjoyable, less work and not leave you feeling so terrible. You aren't alone. It doesn't have to be this hard. You just haven't found your solution yet.

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.

Finding foods that help you meet your health goals can be challenging. Hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, or autoimmune conditions can muddy the waters. With 80% of the body’s immune system residing in the gut, working with a practitioner that understands how food effects the microbiome and hormones, is essential to creating a practical path to wellness. Do you suffer from chronic health conditions such as lupus, IBD, fibromyalgia, RA, MS, or others? Do you have signs of poor digestion such as IBS, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or struggle with stubborn weight? The type of food you are consuming could be to blame.

Are you struggling with a preoccupation or obsession with food, weight, and body image? Do you eat large amounts of food in a short period or feel addicted to food?

Do you avoid social situations due to high anxiety around food? Do you have an eating disorder and feel stuck? Do you want to make peace with food and your body finally?At Branz Nutrition Counseling, our group of non-diet registered and licensed dietitians work with clients in both Missouri and Illinois.

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.
