Brandy Gerling

About Brandy

Curiosity about how food and medicine intersect led me to a Bachelor's of Dietetics from Missouri State University and a nine-year career as a Registered Dietitian. I have worked in hospital settings and outpatient oncology clinics, which shaped my comfort with complex medical needs and nutrition support. I practice as an RD and LD and bring additional training as a CNSC and CSO. Outside clinic life you’ll find me running, reading, testing new recipes, or checking out a new restaurant, always curious about practical ways to nourish life.

Approach to care

Evidence matters, and so does your story. I use current research and proven protocols while keeping conversations warm and judgment-free. We’ll set clear, actionable steps that fit your life and prioritize sustainable habits over quick fixes. I practice from a weight-neutral Health At Every Size perspective, looking at behaviors, function, and wellbeing rather than a number on a scale. Together we’ll address the whole person, combining practical education with empathy so you can make informed choices that last.

Your first session with Brandy

During our initial visit we'll take time to review your medical history and any relevant lab work or biometrics, and together we’ll establish short-term goals that feel realistic. This is a low-pressure conversation where you do not need to have everything figured out. I’ll ask about routines, challenges, and what matters most to you, and we’ll leave with a few clear next steps you can try, plus a plan to adjust based on how things go.
