About Me
Andrew holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a specialized concentration in Sports Nutrition. His background includes clinical work at Memorial Hospital and supporting patients in Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab—experiences that have shaped his practical, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to care.
Andrew enjoys working with clients on a range of concerns, including sports nutrition, cardiovascular disease, and digestive health. He’s passionate about helping people understand that proper nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming—it can be approachable, sustainable, and tailored to each individual’s goals and lifestyle.
Outside of sessions, Andrew is almost always on the move. He coaches and trains in Jiu Jitsu, lifts weights, and loves discovering new restaurants around St. Louis. He brings this same energy and curiosity to his work with clients, meeting them where they are and guiding them toward a healthier, more confident version of themselves.
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.
Note: In order to secure a spot on a dietitian’s schedule, we need a valid payment method on file.

SIFU 5EFITTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this place! Super knowledgeable and very helpful! 10 out of 10!!! - SIFU Eric ToenniesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been sending patients to Branz for a while now and there is nobody I trust more than these nutritionist and dieticians. They actually care about you and take a deep dive into your life to see what all is the reason or reasons that you cannot obtain the results you are looking for. They provide a great plan on how to get you from A to B in the best way possible. My favorite part of their care is when a patient comes back and tells me how thorough they have been in covering what is going on. Loshi VueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about this practice! The team brings professionalism, heart, and deep clinical expertise to every discussion. Their initiative to keep learning, growing, and leading within the field of nutrition truly sets them apart! HeatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with Branz Nutrition Counseling on several occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what really sets them apart is how down-to-earth and approachable they are. Talking about food and eating behaviors can be very vulnerable—much like discussing any other mental health concern—and it makes a huge difference to work with people who meet you with kindness and zero judgment. The team at Branz truly makes people feel supported. They’re not there to lecture or shame; they’re there to help. We’ll continue to refer people to Branz because we trust they’ll be met with compassion, respect, and real expertise. Shawna RicheyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Michelle Wilson, RD, has been such a gift. Michelle’s warmness and professionalism shine through in every interaction, and she creates an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. As someone who frequently refers clients her way, I have complete trust in Michelle’s expertise and compassionate approach. I know that anyone I send to her will be met with thoughtful, individualized care, and that peace of mind is invaluable. I cannot recommend Michelle and Branz Nutrition Counseling highly enough! Hannah MilksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Michelle Wilson is a joy. She approaches each person as a human, not a "patient". She naturally balances humor and light heartedness with the necessary dedication, thoughtfulness, and empathy required to create meaningful change in people's lives. I highly recommend working with Michelle. Megan GleicherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. They are truly one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable dietitians I have ever worked with. Michelle understands the deep connection between mental health and eating disorders, and they approach their clients with kindness, flexibility, and genuine care. Sunny Day PsychiatryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michelle at Branz Nutrition Counseling is someone I would highly recommend! They have a friendly, genuine spirit and a strong ability to connect with colleagues and clients. Engaging, kind, and knowledgable, Michelle is a trusted resource for my clients seeking nutritional and eating disorder support. Alex MarlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ask for Michelle Wilson. She is the best! Haley StaatsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had nothing short of positive interactions with the entire Branz team. Michelle invited me into the ED helping professional community immediately and has been a warm, welcoming human from the moment I met her. She’s also such a wealth of knowledge. Love this team!
