11 Jul St. Louis Area Holistic Nutritionist and Nutrition Counseling
You reduce carbs and read food labels. You follow all the best social media influencers. But your energy levels are rock-bottom, your digestion suffers, and your relationship with food and body is far from peaceful.
Does this sound familiar?
A crucial element missing from your approach might be holistic nutrition.
What is holistic nutrition?
A holistic nutrition approach goes beyond calorie counts and macronutrient ratios. It considers:
- Your lifestyle (sleep, stress, movement, screen time)
- Your emotions (relationship with food, body image, mindset)
- Your medical history (gut health, hormones, labs)
- Your values and preferences (what feels good and sustainable)
Our approach differs from strict meal plans and “just eat clean” demands because we help you understand your body’s signals to develop personalized approaches that feel nourishing and sustainable.
What is the difference between a holistic nutritionist and dietitian?
It’s important to note that a holistic nutritionist is not the same as a registered dietitian. While holistic nutritionists focus on natural, whole-body wellness, they do not have the same clinical training or regulatory status as dietitians. That said, many dietitians incorporate holistic principles—such as whole foods, mind-body practices, and lifestyle changes—into their work, blending the best of both worlds in their care.
At Branz, we practice holistic nutrition to implement dietary interventions with the goal of using real, whole foods alongside supportive lifestyle practices to help restore balance and support your unique path to wellness.
Why See a Holistic Nutritionist (Dietitian)
Oftentimes, people come to us frustrated with how they’re feeling. And, over time, people begin to doubt that what they’re feeling really is a problem
Here are some common pain points we hear:
- I’m tired all the time, but my labs are normal.
- I experience constant bloating regardless of my food choices.
- I strive for better health, yet I avoid becoming fixated on food.
- I’ve tried every diet and I’m still stuck.
- The medical tests show normal results according to my doctor, but I am convinced there is an issue.
- I wish to improve my diet, but I don’t have the time or energy.
