a healthy gut

Nothing beets a healthy gut!

We’re going to get right down to it. We talk about poop. A lot.

When everything is working like it should in your gut, you should be pooping about once a day. But, if something’s going on in your gut, the cycle of digestion is disrupted and everything goes haywire.

When this happens, you might experience chronic diarrhea, IBS, constipation, bloating, or heartburn. 

If you’ve experienced these symptoms, or if you’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, GERD, SIBO, Leaky Gut, Celiac disease, fatty liver, food sensitivities or another gut-related condition, you know they are not fun to deal with, and they can be pretty disruptive to your lifestyle.

We’ve got some good news! Our GI-specialized dietitians are experts in gut health (and poop). While we can help you navigate special diets such as the Low FODMAP, low histamine, low lactose or fructose, or Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), our goal is to help you move beyond restrictive diets. They can work with you to find solutions that will help you manage your symptoms, heal your gut, and feel better than you thought you could!

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!

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!

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.
