Manage Chronic Disease, Food Allergies, and Picky Eating Behaviors – Prevent Disordered Eating and Improve Your Family’s Relationship with Food and Body with a Family Dietitian from Illinois and Missouri
What is a family dietitian nutritionist?
A family dietitian works with the parents to create a more neutral, intuitive, and overall positive environment when it comes to feeding their family. We consider your family’s lifestyle, schedule, nutrition needs, budget, and challenges to provide you with dietary recommendations and tips for healthy eating behaviors.
Together, with a family nutritionist on our team, we can:
Individualize nutrition plans
Provide support for breastfeeding
Give support and tips for feeding picky eaters (without a fight)
Help you manage food allergies
Help you manage chronic diseases like diabetes, Crohn’s, and Celiac
Help you manage gut health issues, like constipation
Help prevent disordered eating
Identify and treat disordered eating and eating disorders with MNT
Provide you with nutrition education and resources
Help make family meals enjoyable again
We highly recommend that all primary caregivers (both parents, grandparents etc. depending on your family dynamic) attend meetings to ensure everyone is on the same page and can ask questions regarding dietary and mealtime recommendations.
What are the benefits of family nutrition?
Research shows that there are many health benefits of family nutrition. Some of these benefits include:
- Avoiding short-order cooking
- Creating an intuitive eating, weight-neutral approach in your home
- Improved nutrition — regular family meals increase the overall intake of key nutrients
- Improved eating behaviors
- An improved relationship with food and body
- Feeling at peace, knowing you are providing nutritious and balanced meals to your entire family
- Enjoy family meals again — no more battles
How much does it cost to work with a family dietitian nutritionist?
We accept most major insurance companies, and most clients pay little to nothing outside of copays or deductibles to meet with a family nutritionist on our team.
We also offer military discounts as we are not in network with Tricare. We always recommend checking your insurance benefits regarding nutrition coverage as coverage depends on the patient’s individual insurance plan.
Do you have virtual, telehealth family nutrition consultations?
Yes! We offer telehealth services for family nutrition consultations making it easy and convenient for families to schedule in the day, afternoon, evening, or Saturdays.
Contact us and get a 15- minute, free-of-charge discovery call with a family dietitian on our team. We can answer any questions you may have regarding nutrition therapy. This call can also help us pair you with a dietitian that is the best fit for your needs.
Please note, we are not checking insurance benefits. This is the responsibility of the patient/parent. Here is an insurance script to help you verify your coverage.

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.

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".
