Licensed Nutritionist
in Bozeman, Montana

Food affects how you feel. Not in a cure-all way, but in the everyday way: your energy, your sleep, your focus, how steady your mood is by mid-afternoon. If you have been working on your health and something still feels off, what you eat may be part of the picture.

nCenter has a Registered Dietitian/Licensed Nutritionist right here in Bozeman, and medical nutrition (MNT) visits are covered by most insurance plans. What makes this different from seeing a nutritionist anywhere else is who is sitting on the other side of the wall. Your dietitian works alongside your counselor and your neurofeedback provider, in the same building, on the same plan, and they actually talk to each other.

Nutrition and Mental Health

Nutrition Therapy in Montana

This is where nCenter differs from a standalone nutrition practice. Your dietitian works in the same building as your counselor and your neurofeedback provider, and they actually coordinate. There’s real biology underneath it. Most of your serotonin is produced in the gut, and the gut and brain signal each other constantly, which is why digestion and mood so often move together. Blood sugar swings show up as irritability and anxiety. Shortfalls in B vitamins, iron, vitamin D, or omega-3s show up as fatigue, low mood, and trouble concentrating. None of that replaces therapy. It removes obstacles that make therapy harder than it needs to be.

Our licensed nutritionist works with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, and developmental trauma, so your plan is built around what you are actually working on rather than a generic handout.

Meet your nutritionist:

Candice Vann, RD, LN, is a Registered Dietitian and functional-medicine Licensed Nutritionist at nCenter in Bozeman. She looks at the whole picture - food, labs, symptoms, and your actual life - and builds something realistic instead of a plan that assumes a perfect week and unlimited time. Clients describe her as easy to talk to and refreshingly non-judgmental about food.

What Candice helps with:

People come to us for nutrition support on its own, or alongside the counseling and neurofeedback services we offer:

  • Medical nutrition therapy

  • Diabetes and prediabetes

  • Gut health, digestion, and the stress that tangles up with it.

  • Nutrition alongside GLP-1 medications so you meet your protein and nutrient needs and protect muscle while the medication does its part.

  • Pregnancy and new parents

  • Prenatal and pregnancy nutrition

  • Nutrition support while breastfeeding

  • Weight and eating patterns

  • Weight loss approached through food, habits, and what actually fits your life, rather than restriction or a plan you will quit in three weeks

  • Energy, mood, and focus: Low energy, brain fog, and afternoon crashes - Mood and anxiety that have a physical, run-down quality - Sleep that food and caffeine timing are quietly working against - Focus and attention, for adults and for kids - Nutrition support for children and teens, including picky eating and fueling growth - Recovery support after a brain injury

All of it built around you personally, not a handout. You do not need a diagnosis to come in. If food and how you feel seem connected for you, that is reason enough.

What this is and what this isn’t

Candice is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and doesn’t prescribe medication. Her work is food, habits, and nutrition, built around your health history and the life you actually live. If you are taking or considering a GLP-1 medication, she can help you eat well alongside it, which matters more than most people expect. Rapid weight loss without enough protein costs you muscle, and appetite suppression makes it easy to under-eat nutrients you still need.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Candice is credentialed with every insurance plan nCenter accepts, and nutrition visits are billable under most of them. We’ll check your specific coverage before your first appointment, so you know what you are walking into. Please see Fees & Insurance for the current plan list, or call us and we can look it up together.

  • Registered Dietitian is a protected clinical credential requiring an accredited degree, supervised practice, and a national exam. "Nutritionist" is not protected, so anyone can use it. The RD credential is also what makes the visit billable to insurance. Candice holds both.

  • No. You can come for nutrition support on its own. If you’re also seeing a counselor or doing neurofeedback here, the advantage is that your providers coordinate and the services complement one another exceptionally well.

  • Yes. Candice works with all ages, including nutritional coaching for kids and teens.

  • No. The goal is an eating pattern you can live with. We build from where you are and make changes based on your specific situation.

  • Often, yes. Blood sugar stability, protein timing, iron, and omega-3s all affect attention and energy, and gut health and mood are closely linked. It is not a replacement for other treatment, and we’ll be straight with you about what to expect.

  • Yes, secure virtual sessions for clients across Montana are available.
