S’more laughs, less worry.

As a parent, you want the best for your family, and that includes nutrition.

Whether you’re tired from fighting with your kids about trying new foods, or exhausted from fighting for them in their medical journey, we know all that fighting can leave you feeling frustrated and stressed. Not to mention all the conflicting advice from friends, family, healthcare providers, and the internet about what to do and all the demands on your time and energy that prevent you from doing all those things. Then mom (or dad) guilt sets in.

Whether you’re dealing with picky eaters, food allergies, failure to thrive, or other clinical concerns, our pediatric-specialized dietitians can help you understand what’s really going to help, prioritize what’s most important, and make a sustainable action plan to help your child focus on enjoying their childhood and help you worry less.

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.

Lauren Cuda MS, RD, CSP, LD, RYT

Registered Dietitian, Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition

Hi, I’m Lauren. I love to travel and have visited over 29 countries (and counting)! I’m also a registered yoga instructor. I’ve always has a passion for nutrition, exercise, and healthcare, which led me to become a dietitian. I enjoy helping people and believe it is extremely important to listen to each person’s individual needs and create custom recommendations that meet the client where they’re at so they have the greatest chance for success. I received my master’s degree in clinical nutrition in 2015 and began working as a dietitian at Children’s Mercy. During my time there I became a certified specialist in pediatric nutrition. I have a lot of experience working with families struggling with malnutrition, poor weight gain, failure to thrive, and tube feedings. I am passionate about helping families transition from a hospital setting to their homes by providing support and strategies that reduce overwhelm and integrate with their life.

Bethany Frazier, MS, RDN, LD

Owner, Registered Dietitian

Hi there, I’m Bethany, the owner of the Kansas City Dietitian Collective. I love food puns, cookies, and I’m obsessed with Halloween. I’m a second generation dietitian, so nutrition is basically in my blood. I love that I grew up with nutrition, and my education is invaluable, but nothing makes you an expert quite like experiencing it yourself. On my journey to specializing in complex issues, I’ve had my fair share of complex issues, including hormone concerns, getting my thyroid removed, and digestive issues that showed up after I had my third baby, developed mastitis, and was prescribed three rounds of antibiotics. Working with my health team, and using the personalized approach to nutrition that is our foundation here, I was able to come up with a sustainable plan that supports my gut health and keeps my symptoms at bay. I love to help clients find the right combination of supports to improve their symptoms and improve their lives!

Caylee Johnson, MS, RDN, LD, RYT

Registered Dietitian, Certified Clinical Transplant Dietitian

Hi, I’m Caylee. I live in the Kansas City area with my husband, young children, and our pug Lavender Rue. I played soccer in college and I also love music and yoga. I play both piano and flute. I also completed my Yoga Teach Training in 2020. I’ve been interested in how our bodies use food for fuel since high school. I entered college with the intention of becoming a nurse, but then I learned I could get a degree in nutrition, and the rest is history. Since then I have loved learning about how all food can find a place in our lifestyle. Food isn’t just fuel, it’s medicine, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring or gross. Food can bring people together and spice up our lives! My goal is to help my clients use food to heal their bodies while still enjoying what they eat.

Mary Kate Meyer, MS, RDN, LD

Registered Dietitian

Hi, I’m Mary Kate. I love to try new foods and explore new restaurants and coffee shops, and even went on a homemade bagel-making kick this summer! My interest in nutrition started in middle school with my mom adding more veggies to our meals and making them taste interesting and fun, which sparked my interest to help her cook and learn more about how the food we eat impacts us every day. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that proper nutrition and daily fueling can have on overall health. Like many of my clients, I have faced challenges with my own gut health and hormonal changes, so I can relate to the frustrations and fatigue that come with seeking relief. Through personalized care and tailored nutrition, I discovered the keys to my health, and my goal is to help others bring their sense of vitality back!
