Fuel Your Goals. Stay Stronger Longer.

Personalized Sports Nutrition, Weight Loss & Medical Nutrition Therapy in St. Louis

When your name is Nutriformance, you put nutrition first.

It’s not an add-on — it’s foundational. As a locally owned performance gym, we’ve built our reputation on thoughtful, individualized care that supports both peak performance and health that lasts.

Our registered dietitians work alongside personal trainers and physical therapists to deliver science-based strategies in an environment that feels supportive, personal, and deeply rooted in the St. Louis community.

Whether you’re an athlete pursuing a competitive edge, a parent supporting your student-athlete, managing a chronic condition, or working toward sustainable weight loss, we meet you where you are — and build a plan that fits your real life.

No extremes. No quick fixes. Just practical, personalized strategies designed to help you perform better, feel stronger, and build results that last.

Our Philosophy

Nutrition doesn’t have to be all or nothing. We focus on habits that last – not quick fixes – by making steady, practical adjustments that fit your real life, instead of rigid programs, unnecessary restrictions, or extreme overhauls.

Education is central to our approach. When you understand how nutrition works, you can make confident choices, adapt as your life changes, and build a way of eating that supports you – without taking over your life.

You can expect:

Personalized nutrition strategies tailored to your goals

Clear education so you understand how and why your plan works

Ongoing accountability and collaborative coaching

Sustainable results that evolve with you

How it Works

Your journey starts with a deep dive into your health history, lifestyle, training schedule, lab work, supplements, and goals. Then we sit down together and connect the dots — review your options and build a plan that reflects your real life, not just numbers on a page. We guide you through the process, but you decide what feels realistic and sustainable.

We use an InBody scan to establish a clear starting point, helping us track fat loss, muscle gain, and fueling needs with accuracy. You’ll leave with a personalized plan built around where you are now — and where you want to go.

Thoughtful Supplement Guidance

When appropriate, we may recommend specific supplements to support your goals and overall health. We trust Metagenics because of their high-quality standards and manufacturing practices.

Any supplement recommendation is personalized — and only suggested when it truly adds value.

How We Can Help

Sports Nutrition

From St. Louis’ top competitors to rising high school athletes and dedicated weekend warriors, our clients trust us to help them perform their best and stay healthy enough to keep doing what they love.

We understand the demands of early practices, packed school schedules, tournament travel, and year-round training because many of us have lived it ourselves as athletes and parents. That perspective allows us to build fueling plans that work in real life — for the athlete and the families who support them.

Our individualized approach supports strength, endurance, body composition, and recovery season after season.

Support includes:

Pre- and post-training fueling strategies

Competition-day nutrition planning

Hydration and recovery optimization

Lean mass and performance goal support

“It’s been almost a year, and I feel incredible. I think differently about how I fuel my body—carbs included—and I’ve found real balance in my nutrition. I’ve gained more muscle than I realized, even if it’s hard to see my own progress sometimes.”

— High School Athlete

Weight Loss & GLP-1 Support

Sustainable weight loss isn’t built on extremes — it’s built on everyday habits. We take a compassionate, steady approach that helps you improve body composition, protect your metabolism, and maintain muscle while losing fat.

For clients using GLP-1 medications, we provide thoughtful guidance to help you stay properly fueled, maintain your energy, and build results that go beyond numbers on a scale.

Support includes:

InBody tracking and realistic goal setting

Protein- and fiber-focused meal planning

Hunger and fullness awareness coaching

Muscle and metabolism preservation strategies

“Working on my nutrition goals with Ellie was one of the best decisions I’ve made. She tailored everything to my specific needs, taught me things I never knew, and helped rebuild my confidence. If you want a true lifestyle change and a healthier relationship with food, I highly recommend her.”

— Weight Loss Client

Medical Nutrition Therapy

We provide evidence-based nutrition care to support chronic conditions and improve long-term health. Our dietitians work closely with your physicians and healthcare team to ensure your nutrition plan supports your overall medical care – not complicates it.

At the core of our approach are steady, sustainable habits you can realistically maintain. We focus on practical strategies that support your health while fitting into your daily life –so progress feels manageable, not overwhelming.

Common areas of support include:

Diabetes and pre-diabetes
Cardiovascular risk and high cholesterol
Gastrointestinal conditions (IBS, reflux, bloating, and more)
Women’s health and hormone-related concerns

“My mom has lost twenty-one pounds since early November. Her doctors believe she may be able to lower her Metformin dosage and reassess her need for a CPAP. Many positive changes began with your guidance. We’re so grateful for the time and care you gave her.”

— Family Member of MNT Client

Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating

If you or someone you love feels anxious around food or stuck in unhealthy patterns, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care in a safe and supportive environment.

Our individualized approach focuses on rebuilding trust with your body, restoring consistency, and supporting both mental and physical well-being at a pace that feels steady and sustainable – helping you reconnect with food in a way that feels balanced and empowering.

Support includes:

Mindful and intuitive eating strategies
Breaking cycles of restriction and guilt
Building sustainable routines without shame or perfectionism

“I just returned from a week-long trip to London and Scotland and didn’t work out once –and felt okay. We enjoyed pastries, fish and chips, and long walking days. I’m so grateful I was able to experience the trip as a normal eater.”

Ellie Huff, RD, LD, CPT

Founder | Registered Dietitian | Sports Nutritionist

Pan metron ariston — moderation in everything. As a proud Greek woman, that belief in balance has shaped my approach to health and nutrition.

As a mother of three former competitive athletes — and a competitive tennis player myself — I’ve lived the juggling act of training schedules, work demands, and family life. I know how easy it is for nutrition to feel complicated or overwhelming.

That’s why I focus on meeting people where they are. My approach is rooted in acceptance, not avoidance. All foods can fit — it just takes creative, realistic solutions that make healthy habits feel doable.

When a client realizes they don’t have to be perfect to make progress — and starts to believe it — that’s what nourishes me.

Elizabeth Quaid, MS, RD, LD, CPT

Registered Dietitian | ACSM Certified Personal Trainer

I love helping clients combine smart nutrition with functional training so they can feel strong, confident, and capable — both in and out of the gym.

Growing up in a competitive athletic family in Missouri and working with sports performance teams at the University of Mississippi — including the Ole Miss Rebels during their 2022 College World Series championship season — shaped my commitment to fueling for performance.

After earning my Master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Saint Louis University, I’ve focused on helping athletes and active adults build sustainable habits that support strength, resilience, and long-term health.

My goal is simple: help you train smarter, fuel better, and perform your best.

WELCOME TO NUTRIFORMANCE

Welcome to NutriFormance where every BODY matters and we strive to know all our client’s by name as well as understanding why they chose NF to pursue their fitness goals. We hope to over-deliver in making NutriFormance like a second home, a fun environment that is also focused and dedicated to our clientele’s success.

We aren’t chasing members just to hit a number. We are pursuing clients who fit what we do, who appreciate a team of advanced professionals and a community that is much like an extended family. We are far from a red-tape laden big box gym that only wants your membership dollars and doesn’t care about you as an individual.
