Weight Management
Weight Management Nutritionist Dietitian in the St. Louis Area, Missouri, and Illinois.
Nutrition Therapy for Chronic Disease, Eating Disorders, and Disordered Eating – Improve Your Relationship with Food and Body
What is weight management?
Weight management refers to the practices and behaviors adopted to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. The dietitians at Branz Nutrition Counseling provide online and in-person weight management nutrition therapy. We believe in weight-inclusive nutrition counseling and follow HAES® principles to promote health equity in our dietitian practice. We work to give our clients the tools they need to reach and maintain a healthy weight, prioritizing intuitive eating and health goals over the numbers on the scale or BMI chart.
Our nutrition therapy includes education about balanced eating, mindful and intuitive eating, and lifestyle recommendations, like incorporating movement and activity into our clients’ everyday schedules. There is no one-size-fits-all nutrition therapy. We understand that maintaining an optimal weight depends on each person’s health, goals, and needs.
We look forward to working with you.
What are principles of weight management?
Access outpatient medical nutrition therapy with a dietitian in our offices near St. Louis or online, with our secure, telehealth platform. Clients receive the principles to reach, and maintain, a healthy weight.
Key principles of weight management include:
- Eating a Balanced Diet: We work to help our clients incorporate a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods. This doesn’t mean you have to swear off chips and brownies. Instead, we help clients prioritize and incorporate vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into their diet plan.
- Behavioral Strategies: We are what we eat and how we eat. Our weight management dietitians provide strategies to help patients incorporate mindful eating practices. Together, we set realistic and specific goals for each individual’s weight management program and help them maintain consistent eating behaviors over time for sustainable results.
- Personalization: A weight management dietitian on our team will tailor a diet plan that fits each individual’s needs. We personalize strategies that take into account your personal preferences, family traditions, health conditions, lifestyle, cultural factors, medical needs (including medications), and more.
- Long-Term Focus: We want everyone who walks through our doors to be empowered. We help our clients make gradual, sustainable changes, incorporating new habits, eating behaviors, and foods into their daily lives, making a lifelong commitment to health.
These principles work together to create a comprehensive approach to managing weight in a healthy, sustainable way. Ditch the diet culture today!
What does a dietitian do for weight management?
A dietitian can help keep a patient accountable when it comes to intuitive eating and continuing to challenge any lingering food rules and beliefs around “good” versus “bad” food or other diet culture thoughts that may pop up interfering with their ability to feed themselves mindfully.
