Digestive Issues Nutritionists and Dietitians in Saint Paul, MN

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.

My goal is to help people of all ages develop and maintain a peaceful relationship with food. Eating is meant to be enjoyed. However, eating can often become complex, confusing and stressful. I use a non-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed, "all foods fit" approach to help individuals build trust in themselves and their bodies. Let's optimize your nutrition while honoring hunger cues and cravings.

I am passionate about helping others achieve the goal of restoring a balanced life physically, emotionally, and nutritionally altogether. I've had the opportunity to help people with healing this relationship and meeting people where they are at with their eating disorder recovery or sports performance goals.

For nearly 10 years, my body rebelled against my conventional low-fat, convenience food diet with IBS, intense anxiety, constant cravings, and chronic knee pain (all before the age of 25!). It wasn't until I learned about the healing power of a real food, anti-inflammatory diet and discovered some food sensitivities that I saw a dramatic relief in my digestive and joint symptoms, plus an improvement in how my brain functioned. Now, I am passionate about helping others find their own relief, breakthroughs, and successes in their journey of healing using simple, nutritious foods!

Hi there! I'm Emmy Bright, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with a weight-neutral and non-diet approach to nutrition & health.

As a woman in her 50's, I intimately understand how our health and self-care can get put on the back burner while taking care of others. Regardless of how much nutrition or exercise knowledge a person has, it doesn't mean it is easy to integrate it into a daily routine. In my 40's, I took control of my life and health once again. I absolutely love showing other women how they can do the same through learning to fuel their bodies with quality nutrition, decreasing cravings and maximizing energy levels without depriving themselves of everything they love.

I've experienced the healing power of nutrition firsthand, having struggled with insomnia, acne and regular migraines before I realized my diet was the culprit. I understand that an individualized approach is necessary to achieve the same kinds of results I experienced, which is why I am here to support, motivate and educate you the whole way so you too can experience the positive effects of nutrition. I find it extremely rewarding to see how nutrition can positively change people's lives. Let's get started on your success story.

I believe that nutrition encompasses all areas of health. What we eat and how we approach food can provide our bodies, minds and spirit with a balanced way of life. Food is nourishing and purposeful, but also enjoyable and fun. When our relationships with food become emotional, disconnected, or physically challenging, we need to find our way back to balancing the power of food and it's role in our lives. My approach is to be compassionate and encouraging, and to hold accountability in order to motivate, and provide opportunities to develop strategies that focus on your personal needs.
