Mcdaniel Nutrition Therapy | Registered Dietitians | Saint Louis, Missouri's Online Review Report Card

Go here if you have rare dietary needs. I was recently diagnosed with a rare metabolic disease (only 200 pts in the world), and Melissa went above and beyond researching. She was there for me in a very difficult time when I was VERY sick. She scoured medical journals, and sent me many resources. Thanks to her guidance I am now thriving. The admin. Staff and owner is equally as amazing, making sure to match me with the best fit dietician. I have graduated Melissa's care, and I am going to miss our appointments very much. She was a dietician but also in a non official way a therapist during the hardest time of my life. Bonus points for being available after hours for those that work.

Ellen Beuligmann has been so great in helping me make lifelong, lasting decisions for my health, and in changing my mindset to work for me.

After years of following one eating plan after another which were not sustainable over time, it was time to find a better way. It is funny how we think we can figure it all out on our own, when in the long run there are wonderful professionals such as Jennifer McDaniel who can save us lots of time, in the long run money, and most importantly teach about what our individual bodies need to get/stay healthy. I am in my later 50’s, healthy, and exercise regularly. Over the years I have gained weight, lost muscle and energy, and I just wasn’t feeling great. Protein, carbs, fat, fiber…I knew all four, but not how to figure a mix right for my body and which foods contained which levels. Jennifer changed all of that. She taught me about about the food I was eating - funny enough I was eating too little, not enough protein, I didn’t understand the carb mix, and really didn’t have much understanding about fiber. I don’t usually take the time to write longer reviews, but Jennifer did such a great job of helping me help myself to get healthy, build muscle - which we all lose as we age, and look so much better. With this knowledge, I can now make informed smart choices that I will be able to carry with me going forward. If you are looking for someone to give you tools to better yourself, I would highly recommend Jennifer McDaniel.

My daughter saw Jen McDaniel. Started there to work on fueling choices for her sport and have come away with an incredible resource for my child. Could not say enough great things about Jen. She was able to bond with my daughter and to get a good feeling about what her needs were for not only her sport but for her overall well-being. My daughter looks forward to going and has been able to learn about herself and how to read her body. We are incredibly happy to have found this place for her. I, as a parent, feel incredibly lucky to have my child at a place that cares about her well-being in all capacities. Would recommend Jen to everyone.

Jen has been so supportive and caring. She has valuable insights and has helped me reframe my thoughts about several things, not just food! Amazingly, I don’t binge on food, and I can actually moderate my intake, which I previously thought was impossible. Jen is such a light, and I am so grateful to have found her and learn from her, even though I’m in my 70’s!

I enjoy working with McDaniel Nutrition and my nutritionist Ellen. They meet you where you are, how you eat, what you like. The first meeting takes more time because there is more discussion about eating habits, likes, dislikes and motivations for changing lifestyle habits. This is not cookie cutter, this is personalized guidance to make the changes that you need to make. I have been consistent with weekly exercises and am still working on changing eating habits. I don't want to diet, I want to change for health and strength. Ellen has been a great cheerleader as well as helping me learn more about different types of foods and how they can affect the body. I have physically felt an improvement and that keeps me going. Thank you to McDaniel Nutrition and their personal approach to positive change.

I have had a wonderful experience at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy. My sessions with Ellen were incredible. I really appreciate her holistic and achievable approach to nutrition. Her coaching and encouragement were a central piece of my successes in re-defining my relationship with food and my weight struggles. Ellen helped me break the cycle of being my own harshest critic and learn how to break what seems like a huge goal into achievable pieces. I am so pleased with my experience at McDaniel and would highly recommend them to anyone who has found themselves stuck/trapped in their nutrition journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jennifer at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy! At our first appointment, I found Jennifer incredibly easy to talk to and open up to about the GI issues I was experiencing. In that first meeting, we came up with a comprehensive plan to help pinpoint what was triggering my flare-ups. Between appointments Jennifer made herself easily available to answer any questions I had, and to check in on how I was doing. After working together for about 6 months I'm happy to report I feel so much better, and have an understanding of what foods and stressors contribute to my stomach issues. Jennifer is a life-saver!

A life of poor food choices was hard to change. McDaniel Nutrition provided me with a nutrition lifestyle that supported weight loss and drastically better internal vital signs. Thanks Jennifer and staff!

Jen is fantastic working with our teenage runners. They run competitively and, as with a lot of runners, struggle with the proper nutrition. She connects with our daughters and is at their level. They listen to her and look forward to their nutrition discussions with her. My daughters look forward to telling her about their PRs and she celebrates with them as they continue to excel. My daughters/fam love Jen and are so thankful for being referred to her!
