Anna Leigh Bruner

About Anna Leigh

Studying food and nutrition brought me from lecture halls to bedside care, and that journey shaped how I practice today. I bring 3 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian to Sarasota, Florida working in clinical hospital settings. I practice as an RDN and LDN and hold an MS in human food and nutrition. Outside the clinic you’ll find me weightlifting, walking along the beach or laying by the pool, painting pottery, reading, and hanging out with friends. I’m passionate about nutrition practiced in a way that helps people build lasting, realistic habits without giving up foods they love.

Approach to care

Evidence guides the practical strategies I share, while warmth and curiosity shape how we work together. I use current research to design clear, actionable steps, and I teach skills so you can make informed choices long term. I practice in a weight-neutral way that focuses on behaviors and overall wellbeing, not restriction. We’ll look at the whole person, including mental, emotional, and lifestyle factors, and set sustainable goals that fit your daily life so progress lasts.

Your first session with Anna Leigh

Expect a relaxed, judgement-free conversation where we'll get to know one another and clarify what you want from nutrition support. We'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring, talk through your day-to-day routines, and identify short-term goals that feel doable. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Together we'll leave with a couple practical steps to start building momentum, and a plan to adjust based on what works for your life.
