Initial Consult with Brianne Thornton

Service Description

Registered Dietician & Interstitial Cystitis Integrative and Functional Nutritionist Growing up, I was active and participated in a variety of sports, but my diet was far from nourishing, and I was fairly overweight. When I joined the high school swim team, my coach stressed the importance of nutrition for athletic performance, and I began changing my diet. After I saw a dramatic improvement in my times, I realized first-hand the powerful influence diet has in our life and our health. This experience not only encouraged me to fuel and nourish my body with quality food on a daily basis, but it led me to pursue a career as a dietitian. I have worked as a clinical dietitian in Southern Wisconsin since 2014, and in 2017 I earned my master of science (MS) in Integrative and Functional Nutrition (IFN). As an integrative and functional nutritionist, I am trained to identify and remove barriers that prevent healing and address the underlying cause of a number of illnesses. My recommendations as an interstitial cystitis nutritionist involve many aspects of health, including diet, physical activity, hydration, stress management, sleep, hygiene, supplements, and a variety of mind-body therapies to promote healing and optimal health. Each plan is tailored to a client’s specific needs, preferences, and daily life, making the lifestyle changes realistic and maintainable. I specialize in whole person, individualized care and incorporate a variety of integrative therapies to support overall wellness and vitality.
