Dietitian
Tracy Brown, RD
IL, IN, OH, MO, NE
Hi, I'm Tracy! I’m a somatic nutrition therapist, registered licensed dietitian and attuned eating coach in private practice providing in-person, phone and online counseling since 2006. I usher people on a soul level… Because I believe not wanting to be in the body is a way of protecting oneself, so the work is about nourishing the nervous system to feel safe enough to drop in to feel emotion to actually heal. Changing the food becomes an “of course eating is easier now” as flow becomes more a way of operating. I specialize in treatment of eating disorders and eating problems for both adults and children as well as issues related to over-extending the body, including adrenal fatigue, hormone issues, PCOS and gut health. I routinely teach intuitive eating workshops and disordered eating related talks throughout Florida, including University of Florida and Santa Fe College Gainesville, FL, Flager College, St. Augustine, FL, Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft Myers, FL. I am also the guest Nutrition Therapist for Feast, an online intuitive eating program and have appeared on many podcasts featuring topics on Intuitive Eating, Trauma healing, Positive body image and Recovery. I believe what healing food and weight concerns is really about is deciding to live fully human in the diverse and amazing bodies we have. Living and Feeling fully with courage and being dedicated to the fullest expression of who we are is the point.
Dietitian
Amy, RD
IL, OH
Amy has been an RD for over 20 years. She has been blessed with a variety of professional experiences such as Corporate Wellness Dietitian, Associate Professor, Research Consultant, Clinical Dietitian and is now humbled to be doing nutrition counseling. She also delights in being on the board of BodyBloved that provides opportunities to heal one’s relationship with body image, food, and fitness (https://www.bodybloved.com/). She believes that evidenced based science, health behavior theory and best practice make a boom for supporting behavior change. Through her own diet struggles, she now proclaims the good news about Health at Every Size and the non-diet approach. Having experienced an eating disorder at a noticeably young age and then dabbling in disordered eating for many years thereafter, freedom rang when she started practicing the truths behind the non-diet approach. Her own struggles have equipped her with compassion, empathy, and realistic recommendations for those she works with. Additionally, her past research focused on emotional eating and nutrition interventions using the non-diet approach. As she sits in the middle of mid-life, she has a heart that cries out to women who are experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause (and men too in this mid-life stage). Going through her own struggles with the side effects of perimenopause, she wants to scream out the message that YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. What you are going through is real. Her mother, having gone through her own issues, is a strong encourager of seeking out help beyond what appears to be the traditional. Amy believes that this support is vital to everyone and that life is much better when one realizes YOU ARE NOT ALONE. She believes in extra self-care in all seasons of life and especially this one. As she reflects on her life with disordered eating, she is grateful that she was healed of that and wants to help those that struggle. It is enough to go through drastic bodily changes in the second half of life nevertheless having to struggle with food, body image, and physical activity. Finally, she is the wife to an amazing, hot hubs and a mama to 3 amazing kids, one of which came home from China through adoption recently. Faith, family, and friends are the top blessings in her life. (Although on many days you can see her on the struggle bus attempting to do mid-life and multitask😉). Amy loves walking, waking to morning devos and coffee, and sitting by the water. Her hope for those with strongholds related to food, body image, and physical activity, is that they will be set free to live the life they were called to live!

Gabrielle Van Hoet, RD
Telehealth for KS- Berry Street
Gabrielle earned her Bachelor of Science in nutrition from the Univ. of Alabama in 2018. She became a Registered Dietitian the same year. She gained experience in Performance Nutrition throughout her time there working with the Univ. of Alabama athletics department. Gabrielle is proud to state that her 1st full-time position as a Performance Dietitian was at North Carolina State Univ. From there, Gabrielle earned her Master of Science in Kinesiology (emphasis on strength & conditioning) at the Univ. of Georgia in 2021. She became a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) as well as a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) the same year. Since then, Gabrielle has gone on to fuel collegiate athletes at Kansas State Univ. as well as our troops with the Department of the Army. Gabrielle also has experience in supporting those with disordered eating/eating disorders. While Performance Nutrition was always a passion, Gabrielle admits her passion for this field of nutrition was not so apparent. She was hesitant to support this population following her own struggles with her relationship with nutrition in her adolescent years, but, now, she is passionate about supporting these individuals. Gabrielle gained experience with this population at an Eating Disorder clinic offering residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient programs. Gabrielle is familiar with the significant role an unhealthy relationship with nutrition can have on health as well as with the struggle to find this balance so she knows it takes a village. Gabrielle welcomes working with other practitioners for those clients looking for multidisciplinary coordination. Gabrielle has a passion for using nutrition to support the goals of her clients. It is her mission to not only educate her clients on the best nutrition practices to support their full potential, but to also support them through their own path to the best possible relationship with nutrition. If you are an individual struggling with your relationship with nutrition....If you are an individual who simply needs guidance to support a healthy body... If you are an individual that needs nutrition to fuel athletics.... Or if you do not fall into any of these categories, but think I might be a good fit for you - welcome. I promise that if I am not the best Registered Dietitian for you, I will help you find the one that is.

Sophia Jones, RD
Telehealth for KS
Hey there! I've been a Registered Dietitian for 7 years and have worked in multiple settings including acute care, inpatient rehabilitative, and an outpatient eating disorders clinic. My passion for helping people heal their relationship with food and their bodies was born after a decade long personal battle with disordered eating and compulsive exercise patterns. Now that I am walking in freedom from the bondage of diet culture and fully embracing body acceptance (all while still chasing performance goals in endurance sports), it is my deepest joy to show others the path into a more satisfying and fulfilling health journey. In my personal life, I am married to a lumberjack entrepreneur and have two wild kiddos that forever keep me on my toes. I am obsessed with ultra trail running/hiking and daydream about living in the mountains someday. Currently tackling the Tour du Mont Blanc through France, Switzerland and Italy (and eating all the delicious food along the way) is at the top of my bucket list.

Logan Smith, RD
Telehealth
Hi! I’m Logan Smith, Registered Dietitian and fellow ex yo-yo dieter. I work specifically with clients who want to achieve food freedom, work on their relationship with food through eating disorder recovery, learn about nutrition to improve their health, achieve wellness and ditch the diet mentality for good. I struggled for years with yo-yo dieting and disordered eating, so I get it! I was stuck in the vicious cycle of starting the latest diet to be “healthy” and to control my weight, only to feel out of control with food and unavoidable weight cycling. Then, I would compensate by exercising more and eating less. I tried every form of dieting you can imagine; from counting calories & macros to the military diet, whole30 & more. Because of this, I can assure you that diets do not work long term. They also leads to disordered eating and eating disorders is many cases. Dieting lead me to becoming obsessed with “what should I eat?” and “how much should I eat?” Once I worked on healing my relationship with food and movement, my overall health improved drastically. I went from an average energy level of 6/10 (with the help of lots of caffeine) to a 9/10 on average! Yo-yo dieting is the strongest indicator of weight gain and increases the risk of developing certain diseases. So ask yourself, why is dieting still recommended to improve health? With my nutrition counseling approach, I will help you ditch dieting for good AND help you improve your overall wellness. Constantly worrying about what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat isn’t how it’s meant to be. I will help you enjoy eating again, stress and guilt-free in a way that works for you. Nutrition isn’t supposed to be this complicated. Join me in creating a healthy relationship with food.
