Alyssa Krejci

Alyssa, a registered dietitian nutritionist, grew up in the dance world first by watching her mom teach and dance professionally. She especially enjoys the art of ballet and modern dance. As a teenager, Alyssa fell into a cycle of disordered eating, anxiety and depression. She noticed a positive change in her mood and ability to have the energy to perform at a higher level after eating more regular meals and being well-fed. It sparked an interest in food and nutrition that has not dimmed. Fast forward to today, as a mom of two active kids, Alyssa continues to witness the difference being well-fed with real food can make in daily life.

Alyssa loves helping clients feel good, positive and empowered about the food choices they make every day to better their overall health. Each client has a story, and nutrition is highly individualized. Alyssa strives to fully listen and provide them with quality nutrition care and support to figure out what works best for them.

Alyssa graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and with a minor in Dance from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. She continued with her education for her dietetic internship with a focus in nutrition diagnostics at Cox College in Springfield, Missouri. Before joining the team at Nutritional Weight and Wellness, Alyssa worked as a retail dietitian at a grocery store for close to a decade. In that role she provided outpatient counseling, taught group cooking classes and provided shopping assistance to a wide variety of individuals and families in the community. Alyssa especially loved working with families and kids in the kitchen providing them with a playful pressure-free space to experience and try new foods. At the same time, a special interest in GI nutrition grew as she provided nutrition therapy care for patients referred from a doctor's office. Alyssa worked with them to develop sustainable plans to support gut health and help them keep symptoms at bay.

Outside of work, Alyssa enjoys trying new recipes in the kitchen, cheering her kids on at their swim meets and volleyball games, spending time outside with her husband walking the family dogs, strength training and dancing with her mom at cardio dance.
