About Me
Gwendoline Balto is a Missouri-licensed registered dietitian passionate about empowering individuals to build a positive and sustainable relationship with food. She earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition and her Master’s in Community and Clinical Nutrition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she also completed her dietetic internship. Gwendoline began her career at a community clinic, primarily supporting women, infants, and children before transitioning to outpatient care. She is dedicated to providing individualized care to reduce food restriction, restore hunger cues and foster mindful eating habits that prioritize needs and lifestyles. When she’s not working, Gwendoline enjoys playing with her cat, Leo, and dog, Lil, as well as spending time with her family.

For Initial Consultations, our dietitians will review your nutrition history, assess your eating patterns, discuss what destructive behaviors are playing out with food, exercise, etc., and set up goals to change these.
