GLP-1 Nutrition Support

Whether you’ve been on a GLP-1 for a while or you’re just starting your journey, partnering with one of our expert dietitians can help bridge the nutritional gaps that cause many issues for individuals taking GLP-1 medication. Nausea, constipation, vomiting, hair loss, muscle loss, are common side effects of GLP-1 medications. 

Nutrition counseling from a registered dietitian can help build healthy eating habits to work with your medication and ensure that weight loss is not a result of inadequate nutrition or muscle loss.

Studies show that over 40% of individuals who stop taking their GLP-1 medication regain the weight. Personalized, comprehensive nutrition guidance from a dietitian is essential for preventing this weight gain.

*Our dietitians can work with your existing prescribing provider, or our Nurse Practitioner can work with you to prescribe GLP-1 medication.

RMR Testing

Your Resting Metabolic Rate is an important piece of the puzzle for your personalized nutrition plan. Great for those who have big weight loss goals, are struggling with weight loss, or have metabolic disorders (thyroid issues, diabetes).

What is your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?

Your RMR is your custom calorie number, the amount of calories you burn at rest. Knowing your RMR helps us create a personalized plan for weight loss, gain or maintenance.

What’s involved in the test?

You’ll come to our office for the test. Make sure you haven’t eaten, exercised, had coffee or alcohol, or smoked for four hours before your test. At the office you’ll sit and relax for a few minutes before we begin the test. Then, you’ll stay relaxed while breathing into an RMR mask for up to 10 minutes (it may take less time). After the test is complete you’ll schedule an appointment to meet with one of our dietitians to answer a few questions, learn your custom calorie number, and understand how to use that information to help reach your goals.

Weight Management

Weight management can be complicated. Our specialized dietitians are trained to support your weight management journey, whether that journey includes lifestyle changes, medication, or bariatric surgery. Our team can help you identify the best options, set healthy goals, and create a personalized nutrition plan that aligns with those goals.

*Our specialized dietitians can also provide the necessary sign-off for bariatric surgery.

Sidney Smith, RDN, LDN

Registered Dietitian

Hi, I’m Sidney. When I’m not working, you can find me playing pickle ball, watching my dad’s band play, or hanging out with my dog Newman and my niece Frankie.

I’ve been a dietitian for nearly a decade, and I believe food should never be something you’re afraid of, ashamed by, or feel guilty about. I’m passionate about helping people break free from diet mentality and build a healthy relationship with food. I help with education around balanced eating, learning how to listen to your body, and figuring out what food actually works for you. Because yes, food is fuel, but it can also be flavorful, fun, and something you genuinely look forward to.

Lynn Meeboer, MS, RD, LD

Registered Dietitian

Hi, I’m Lynn. I pivoted from a career in business to dietetics when I moved to Kansas City in 2016. After having my daughters, I developed a personal interest in helping other women through the pregnancy lifecycle – pregnancy, lactation, and postpartum – as well as helping to cultivate healthy relationships with food in children. My education and experience have helped me overcome my own health struggles, as well as my daughter’s issues with poor weight gain and digestive issues. I know first-hand the impact diet can have on health, and I’m excited that now I get to help others optimize their health through nutrition! I am passionate about promoting holistic health and healing alongside a balanced and healthy relationship with food.

Erica Tangeman RD, LD, CPT

Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer

Hi, I’m Erica. I have a confession: I am a Real Housewives fanatic. I’m also a huge fan of creating new recipes and using nutrition to help fuel bodies well. I grew up in a small town and played almost every sport I could. During that time, I began to research how nutrition could help improve my athletic performance. During this time, I began struggling with several GI symptoms, which continued for over 10 years, with no help from the conventional side of healthcare. In college I began to learn about functional medicine and personalized nutrition. I was able to get to the root of my GI issues, finding ways to heal my gut with nutrition and functional medicine. Now, with my education and experience, I am able to help others who are struggling with the same issues find solutions when other medical paths don’t pan out.
