Taylor Cook

About Taylor

I earned a BA in Health Sciences from Missouri Baptist University in 2016, a BS in Family and Consumer Sciences - Dietetics from Southeast Missouri State University in 2019, and I've practiced in clinical hospital settings, private practice, and sports nutrition for the last 5 years. As an RD based in St. Charles, Missouri, I love helping athletes sift through potentially harmful misinformation that affects their mental and physical wellbeing. When I’m off the clock you’ll find me hiking, dancing, reading, crafting, playing sports, or obsessing over my dog, Goose.

Approach to care

I ground my recommendations in current research, while meeting you where you are. My work is evidence-based and Health At Every Size informed, and I prioritize a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can be honest about challenges. We’ll focus on sustainable, behavior-based changes with clear action steps and accountability. I treat nutrition as part of whole-person health, addressing mental and physical wellbeing, and I make time to teach the why so you can make choices with confidence long term.

Your first session with Taylor

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation designed to reduce pressure and build a plan that fits your life. We’ll review your medical history and current routines, talk through what’s been working and what hasn’t, and establish short-term goals together. I’ll help create a practical meal plan you can try between visits, and we’ll leave with simple, measurable next steps. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just come ready to be honest and curious.
