MEET STACY
Food changed my health. Now I help others find what works for them.
Hi, I’m Stacy Anderson. I’m a registered nurse, Certified Holistic Health Coach, and someone living with Celiac Disease. Before Balance Nutrition, I spent years trying to understand a long list of health problems including digestive issues, reflux, weight changes, severe mood swings, acne, keratosis pilaris, and Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.
For a long time, those symptoms were treated as separate problems. Medication helped somewhat, but I still did not feel like myself. That search for answers led me into nutrition education and deeper research into the connection between food and the way I felt.
The turning point
I began to suspect gluten could be playing a role. As I learned how widespread gluten exposure can be, I gradually changed my diet and daily habits until I removed it completely. Living gluten-free became far more than a list of foods to avoid—it required understanding ingredients, exposures, habits, and how to build a satisfying way of eating in real life.
I still understand how easy it is to make mistakes. That lived experience is one reason I approach clients with empathy rather than judgment.
From nursing to holistic nutrition
While studying for my BSN, I never expected my career to move toward nutrition. My own experience changed that. I went on to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach and built Balance Nutrition around a simple idea: meaningful change often begins by identifying what is actually getting in the way, then making realistic daily adjustments that can last.
Today I combine my nursing background, nutrition education, personal experience with Celiac Disease, and a holistic approach to help clients better understand their bodies, their habits, and their relationship with food.

My philosophy
No extreme rules. No guilt. No one-size-fits-all plans. Food should be nourishing, enjoyable, and workable in everyday life. My role is to help you make sense of the noise, build practical habits, and move toward a way of eating that feels calmer and more sustainable.
