About Rachel
Hi, I'm Rachel, a Registered Dietitian in Missouri. With 25 years of experience, I started with a BS in Dietetics and have spent time in clinical and outpatient settings as well as private practice. I'm a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and I'm a Wahls Protocol Health Practitioner. My specialty is in optimizing metabolic health to prevent chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and neurological conditions. I love spending time with my family, cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I feel grateful to bridge science and everyday life for real, lasting change.
Approach to care
Evidence-based, holistic, and compassionate, my care philosophy centers on partnership. I use science as a foundation while honoring your experiences, values, and life. Together we explore practical, sustainable strategies that fit your daily routine, not a dieting script. I focus on habits that support metabolic health and chronic disease prevention without judgment. Education is key; I will help you understand the why behind recommendations so you can make informed choices, sort through all the online noise, and feel empowered for the long term.
Your first session with Rachel
Think of our first appointment as a warm, collaborative conversation. In our time together, we'll review your medical history, establish short-term goals, create a personalized meal plan, review lab work and biometrics, and design an individualized, personalized plan. You don't need to have it all figured out beforehand; we will figure it out together. Our aim is to reduce anxiety, set clear next steps, and help you feel supported as we begin this journey toward sustainable metabolic health.
