Adolescents / Teenagers (14 to 19) Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ankeny, IA

I am a Registered Dietitian who provides medical nutrition therapy via telehealth. I am passionate about helping individuals be their best self, both physically and emotionally. I believe food plays a major role in our physical and emotional health, and work to help patients find lifestyle changes that are attainable and individualized. I use a functional approach to find the root cause of your digestive issues. As a dietitian I create practical, individualized goals to help clients build a healthier life, not just a fad diet. I live in the Des Moines area and I'm licensed to see clients in Iowa and 19 other states!

As a functional medicine nutritionist, I employ the power of food to promote healing in autoimmune and digestive diseases. Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, depression and anxiety, and many other conditions have root causes that include food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and a high toxic burden. An anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diet is at the heart of treating these elements of disease.

As a Registered Dietitian for over 20 years, I am committed to providing excellent nutrition therapy services with compassion and inclusivity. I have witnessed the harm caused by chronic dieting and eating disorders, and maintain expertise in eating disorder recovery, utilizing a Health At Every Size approach. In addition, I respect the science of nutrition and stay abreast of best Medical Nutrition Therapy practices for diabetes management, cardiovascular health, and general wellness.

My mission as an intuitive eating dietitian and body image coach is to help you end the vicious cycle of restriction and dieting that only leads to failure and frustration. I help individuals heal their relationship with food & body that has been challenged or harmed by chronic dieting, disordered eating, and/or eating disorders. There is an overwhelming amount of nutrition information out there and it can be difficult to escape the urge to diet and/or pursue weight loss. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to diet or feel like weight loss is your only option to achieve health!

I am happy to work with anyone needing or wanting to change eating behaviors to meet a nutrition related goal.

Hi, my name is Jocelyn Evans. I’ve been a registered dietitian since 2016. I am also Board Certified in Gerontological Nutrition.​ In my free, time you can find me at home on the farm with my husband and our three kids.

Kate practices out of Health Loft providing nutrition therapy for adults and adolescents with Disordered Eating, Eating Disorders, Intuitive Eating, Vegan/Vegetarian diets, and other conditions. Kates drive as a dietitian is to work uniquely with each client to create safe, sustainable, and nourishing relationships with food. I believe that qualified and unbiased nutrition care should be available to every individual, no matter their size, health barriers, or schedule. I translate my culinary training into my practice by promoting food as not only a source of fuel, but comfort, tradition, celebration, connection, and recovery.

My mission is to help my clients end the obsession with food, exercise, and their body and finally free up their mental space to focus on what truly matters to them. I provide virtual nutrition counseling for individuals struggling with disordered eating, unhealthy relationships with exercise, and body image concerns. I utilize principles of intuitive eating to help you learn how to take care of your body through food and movement without obsession. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, but for those who desire, I can also incorporate biblical scripture and Christian principles into the counseling experience.
