Sydney Burton, MS, RDN, LD
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Practice Location(s)
Manhattan, KS
Education
BS and MS in Dietetics with a minor in Kinesiology (Exercise Behavioral Science emphasis) from Kansas State University. Completed Dietetic Internship through the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Skill Set and Expertise
Sydney has experience providing both inpatient and outpatient nutrition counseling for individuals navigating chronic illnesses, gastrointestinal disturbances, and disordered eating patterns. As a former collegiate athlete, she understands the complexities–and the healing potential–of movement in the recovery process. She has led group sessions on body image and presented nutrition talks to adolescent athletes, emphasizing RED-S prevention and performance enhancement. Additionally, Sydney devoted her graduate studies to exploring the intersection of eating disorders and nutrition messaging in the social media landscape.
Treatment Approach
She is passionate about approaching each client relationship with individuality and intention. She strives to help clients reconnect with their values and use them as a compass for their nutrition and wellness goals. She embraces a team-based approach to treatment and sees a little bit of herself in the coach, athlete, cheerleader, and wildly proud mom in the stands. While she offers nutrition expertise, she wholeheartedly believes that clients are the experts on their own bodies. Her goal is to support each person’s walk toward a life filled with freedom, love, joy, and peace.
Passion
Sydney is deeply passionate about helping clients use nutrition to steward their bodies and lives well. As a foodie at heart, she enjoys using food as an act of love, adventure, and celebration–but also recognizes it as a daily, unglamorous source of simple sustenance. Her balanced approach to nutrition didn’t come without its own set of challenges and relearning, which is why she finds so much joy in supporting others as they learn to take food out of a rigid box and embrace all it can add to life.
Personal Hobbies and Characteristics
In her free time, she loves a good sunrise run, getting creative in the kitchen, cheering on K-State athletics, spending quality time with friends and family, and getting artsy with calligraphy, tablescaping (too niche?), and homemade cards. Her faith is the guiding force in her life, and she enjoys spending time with her church community and volunteering in the children’s ministry. She can’t think of a better team to be part of and looks forward to building a relationship with you soon!
