Dancer Nutritionist
Certified Dietitian Nutritionists for Dancers in the St. Louis Area, Optimize Performance and Rebuild Your Relationship with Food and Body
Meet Your Dietary Needs with a St. Louis Area Sports Dietitian, Specializing in Nutrition Counseling for Dancers
What is a dance nutritionist?
A registered dietitian nutritionist can help dancers with their health, relationship with food/body/movement, and sports performance. It is important that dancers are performing to their optimal level, recovering properly from their practices and recitals, and taking care of their overall health.
What nutrition does a dancer need?
Dancers are considered athletes. This means their energy needs and nutrition look different compared to the general public. With the expertise of a registered dietitian, these nutrition needs can be determined together while caring for their sport demands and relationship with food/body/movement.
Treatment for Eating Disorders in Dancers:
Sports that place a focus on weight, aesthetics, and leanness are known for having an increased risk of developing disordered eating or eating disorders. With the pressures that dance can involve, it can be extremely helpful to have a dietitian be a part of your support circle.
We meet our athletes with compassion and understanding for their sports’ unique demands while individualizing nutrition care.
Nutritional Strategy for Dancers:
Nutrition is tailored to the individual’s energy and nutrient needs, calculated by a registered dietitian.
Athletes have higher energy needs than the general public due to their sport and need for recovery. They also have different physical pressures, varying practice schedules, and so forth that our dietitians can work together with.
What nutrition does a dancer need?
We are in-network with many insurance companies. Insurance-based nutrition counseling is based on your insurance provider’s approval and specific insurance plan. We can only provide services based on what they allow, following their specific guidelines. Such perimeters include:
- Limitations in visits
- Requiring a certain amount of time in between appointments
- No additional support between appointments
- Check your medical nutrition therapy benefits here.
While nutritional counseling can be beneficial for various conditions, we find that, specifically for those suffering from disordered eating, continuous support and ongoing accountability is the game changer in achieving recovery.
We believe that full recovery is possible with the right support and treatment. We look forward to being part of your healing process.
