About Me
For the past 8 years, I have worked as a Registered Dietitian in a variety of settings. I was a personal trainer and love to run and do anything outdoors. Eating well gives me the energy to maintain my active lifestyle. Though I initially got into Nutrition to learn how to fuel my body, my focus shifted as my health declined. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Lyme disease, SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), and hypothyroidism. However, because of my own battle, I've learned what a huge role nutrition plays in treatment/recovery! I love working with clients who have these conditions because I've learned first-hand what works and understand the frustration of not knowing what to eat. I also have experience working with G.I. disorders, Eating Disorders, Diabetes management and weight management. Let me help take away the fear and bring enjoyment back to eating as you recover your health.

Expert nutritionists and dietitians are ready to support your every need

Our  team of nutritionists are skilled in numerous specialties. Whether your needs revolve
around sports, weight loss, a chronic illness, or navigating a pregnancy, our professionals are
prepared to provide the right nutritional guidance.
Stress & Sleep
Understanding the intricate relationship between sleep, stress, and weight is crucial for effective weight management, and seeking the expertise of a nutritionist or dietitian specializing in weight loss can be highly beneficial. Inadequate sleep and chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to increased levels of cortisol—a stress hormone associated with weight gain. A specialized nutritionist can assess an individual's sleep patterns, stress levels, and overall lifestyle to create a personalized dietary plan that supports quality sleep and stress management.
Behavioral Psychology
The role of behavioral psychology in weight loss is paramount, as it influences habits, food choices, and overall adherence to dietary plans. Seeking the guidance of a nutritionist or dietitian who specializes in weight loss and behavioral techniques can be immensely beneficial. These professionals integrate psychological insights into their approach, helping individuals identify and address emotional triggers, stress-related eating patterns, and other behavioral factors that impact weight. A specialized nutritionist can collaborate with clients to set realistic goals, develop sustainable habits, and cultivate a positive relationship with food.
Lifestyle Mapping
Lifestyle mapping, as an approach to weight loss, involves a thorough examination of an individual's daily routines, habits, and environmental factors to create a personalized plan that aligns with their unique lifestyle. Collaborating with a nutritionist or dietitian experienced in this approach proves invaluable for those aiming to lose weight. A nutritionist can identify potential obstacles to healthy eating and physical activity by analyzing an individual's work schedule, social commitments, and personal preferences.
Personalized Goals
Personalized goals provide clear direction, making the weight loss journey more manageable and realistic. A nutritionist can assess an individual's unique dietary requirements, lifestyle factors, and any underlying health conditions, crafting a plan that is both effective and sustainable. This personalized approach maximizes adherence, motivation, and overall success in achieving weight loss goals, emphasizing the importance of individualized care in the pursuit of a healthier and happier life.
Metabolic Health
Understanding metabolic health is pivotal for effective weight management, and enlisting the guidance of a nutritionist or dietitian can be instrumental in unraveling the complexities of one's metabolism. A specialist in metabolic health can assess individual metabolic rates, hormonal balance, and nutrient utilization, providing valuable insights into how the body processes and stores energy. By tailoring dietary plans to align with the unique aspects of one's metabolism, the nutritionist can optimize nutrient intake, meal timing, and food choices to enhance metabolic efficiency.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormonal imbalance can significantly impact an individual's ability to lose weight, influencing factors such as metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones play key roles in regulating weight, and an imbalance can lead to stubborn weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts. Working with a nutritionist or dietitian who specializes in hormonal health can help with mitigating these challenges by designing a personalized dietary plan to address your unique needs and potential imbalances.
Long Term Support
While short-term interventions may yield initial results, sustained success often requires ongoing guidance and adjustments to address evolving needs and challenges. A nutritionist can provide consistent support, helping individuals navigate dietary changes, overcome obstacles, and maintain motivation over an extended period. Through regular check-ins, dietary assessments, and personalized adjustments, a nutrition expert can tailor strategies to the individual's evolving lifestyle and preferences.
Much More!
Effectively managing your weight involves navigating through numerous factors such as metabolism, hormonal balance, dietary preferences, and lifestyle habits. A weight loss nutritionist understands the intricacies of metabolism, hormonal influences, and the psychological aspects of eating, and can provide targeted guidance on nutrition, portion control, and behavior modification. Collaborating with a weight loss nutritionist or dietitian sets individuals up for success by providing a roadmap that addresses the diverse elements influencing their ability to manage weight effectively.

Benefits of working with a nutritionist vs. going it alone

If you are still unsure of whether a nutritionist can help you reach your health goals, consider these benefits of working with a nutritionist instead of going at it alone.

When searching for a registered dietitian, you want to be looking for the best dietitian for you. Here are some of the most important factors to consider during your search.

Sustainable changes

Working with a nutritionist can help you have results that will last, even when you no longer have nutritional counseling with your nutritionist. No matter your needs, nutritionists and dietitians have the nutritional knowledge to help you make changes to improve your habits for the long haul. Whether you are interested in weight management or you are simply searching for healthier eating habits, a nutritionist can give you the tools and knowledge you need to reach success long term.

Accountability

It’s easy to fall back into old eating habits without someone there to keep you accountable. Working with a nutritionist is an excellent way to stay on track with your goals and get healthy. Nutritionists and dietitians can give you the encouragement you need to try new foods and recipes and make adjustments to your lifestyle to improve your health. You can reach out to your nutritionist when you need encouragement. They’ll talk you through those tough moments that could stand in the way of your success.

Personalized plans

Any internet search can pull up hundreds of articles on the top ten healthy foods to eat. But this information is generic and can be unhelpful for someone who wants results that will last. Working with a nutritionist gives you access to a highly knowledgeable individual with a lot of nutritional knowledge. If you are looking for foods to support diabetes management or just a chance at better health, a nutritionist can give you personalized plans made just for you.

When you work toward your health goals, you want to work with someone who can help you through your difficult moments, whether first thing in the morning before your breakfast or an hour after your dinner. These difficult moments can mean the difference between reaching your health goals or starting over at square one. Working with an online nutrition expert who is accessible with unlimited messages and nutrition counseling sessions can help you overcome your health struggles and do what is best for your body. This support can mean the difference between succeeding or feeling frustrated and disappointed in your journey toward optimal health.

Qualifications

Our online nutritionists work through a rigorous screening process to ensure that we have only the best nutritionists for our clients. Nutritionists must have a resume demonstrating experience in nutrition and the highest level of professionalism to work with clients. Our nutritionists must also enter an in-depth expertise review to demonstrate their knowledge in specific fields like pediatrics, healthy eating, or diabetes nutrition. After this review, nutritionists must work through multiple case study scenarios live with an expert within our network to simulate real coaching scenarios. Nutritionists must continue to work well with clients to ensure that all clients receive the best help for their health needs.

Reputation

We want to see you succeed. Because of this, we continue to monitor client results over time. Monitoring client results helps us ensure that our nutritionists make a lasting impact by giving clients the best advice for sustainable health practices. Clients must have the tools they need to continue to be successful, even after they no longer have nutrition counseling sessions with their nutritionist or registered dietitian. Our goal is to help people feel their best by giving them what they need for success, whether they have a chronic disease, autoimmune disorders, or want to lose weight in a healthy way. It is important that our clients believe in the work we do, and the proof is in the lasting results our clients have.

Experience

Our nutritionist screening process ensures that each nutritionist has extensive knowledge and experience in helping clients reach their health goals to get sustainable results. We want each of our clients to feel confident that they get to work with an experienced and knowledgeable expert, no matter which of our nutritionists they work with. All clients should feel confident that they can work with an expert who can examine their lifestyle and habits and create a custom-made plan with their nutritional knowledge that gives clients lasting results.

Get over the Chicago hurdles and get back to health

Reaching your health goals in Chicago isn’t easy, especially if you’re working on your own, without a nutritionist to help you make a change in your health habits. There are several ways that Chicago makes it difficult for people to change their health habits for the better.

Food deserts

Because of the food deserts and lack of access to nutritious foods, many Chicago residents have to turn to convenience stores to provide healthier options for food. An inability to get to a supermarket means that people will likely eat less nutrient-dense food and instead settle for less nutritious foods. Supermarkets provide access to a large number of different items, including healthier options of foods than can be found at convenience stores, like premade meals, healthier snacks, or fresh produce.

Unsafe infrastructure

Roads and bridges in Illinois have been given the title of the worst in the country. This state serves as a large transportation hub in the United States, and the decline in the condition of roads and bridges is a testament to that. Some people may have access to one grocery store that meets all their nutritional needs, and some people may need to travel over a large area to get all they need. The crumbling bridges and roads don’t make it easy when it comes to getting access to nutritious foods.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an expert nutritionist?

An expert nutritionist in Chicago has the knowledge to give you specific, personalized information based on their abundant nutritional knowledge. An expert nutritionist can help you meet your specific nutritional needs because they are well-trained and highly qualified.

How much does a nutritionist cost in Chicago?

Costs of nutritional services will vary from location to location, and costs will also depend on factors like medical history, fitness goals, and other health-related factors. To get quality nutritional advice in Chicago, you’ll need to find a knowledgeable nutritionist with valuable information specifically for your health.

What does a two-week risk-free trial mean?

Chicago residents can receive a full refund if they aren’t benefiting from the nutrition counseling sessions for the first two weeks of using the service. It’s important that clients are satisfied with the services we offer because their health goals matter to us.

What does the matching specialist help with?

The matching specialist pairs each client with nutritionists based on certain factors. The matching specialist uses the holistic health assessment you completed to better understand factors like medical history, activity level, and more for Chicago residents. This information is crucial for matching specialists to pair you with the best nutritionist for your needs.

What if I don't like the recommendations a matching specialist provides?

If you don’t like the recommendations for a Chicago nutritionist that a matching specialist provides, let the matching specialist know. They want you to reach your goals just as much as you want to. Let the matching specialist know you don’t like the recommendations so they can find the right nutritionist for you.

Top Nutrition Coaching’s Annual Your Health Journey Scholarship

Scholarship award: $1000

About the first-gen futures scholarship

Scholarship award available for both college and high school students
Being the first in your family to attend college is an inspiring feat, often with its own unique challenges. First-generation students may not have the same guidance in navigating parts of the higher education system as other students, such as the application process, obtaining financial aid, and even what to expect in college itself.

Financial constraints can also be a significant roadblock for such students, which may limit their choices, force them to balance jobs, family responsibilities, and school work all at once, and make the college experience much more stressful.

Despite these struggles, first-generation college students have proven time and again to be extremely resilient, determined, and hard-working. They embody a spirit of ambition and perseverance as they work toward creating the future they want for themselves and their families.

The First-Gen Futures Scholarship aims to recognize and support exceptional students who are overcoming the barriers of being the first in their families to attend college. By providing financial assistance to deserving individuals, we seek to alleviate some financial stress so that these students can focus more on their studies.
