Work With A Trusted Chicago Nutritionist
1:1 Dietitian Counseling
No matter what your nutrition and health goals are, we know finding a place to start isn't easy. Our mission is to make sure that place is safe, non-judgmental, and starts where you are today.
Read on to learn more about working 1:1 with us.
WORKING 1:1 WITH US
We know working with a dietitian can feel vulnerable.
That's why our philosophy behind how we provide care is different.
We know you’re the expert of your own body. We’re here to listen to you and support the goals you have based on our expertise… but you’ll always have the final sign-off on anything we do.
We strongly believe weight is not a marker of health, and we provide fat-positive and inclusive care.
We are also firmly non-diet dietitians. This means we’ll set you up with non-restrictive nutrition recommendations instead of food rules, strict diets, and weight-loss plans.
Everything we do is rooted in Intuitive Eating, meaning we always want to support a healthy and happy relationship with food (no matter what we’re working on together).
We pride ourselves on prioritizing research-backed solutions in your care - not just recycling some questionable BS from social media.
We’re here to be your support system and trusted nutrition expert you can come to with any question or concern, not your judgy friend that says, “Are you really going to eat that?”
The processOur First Session
Our first meeting will be a 75-minute Initial Assessment either virtually or in-person - your choice. During our hour together, your dietitian will provide you with:
-
We’ll ask questions about your health history, any immediate health concerns or symptoms, what you like to eat, how you move your body, and your stress & sleep patterns to get to know you better.
-
Including suggestions for recipes, products, meal planning, meal preparation, and grocery shopping based on your budget and needs.
-
For chronic disease management and medically-prescribed diets.
-
We’ll help you learn to notice trends in your hunger and fullness levels, how they change throughout the day, and how this can affect food choices and how we feel about ourselves.
-
Strategize with goal setting and support planning for behavioral modification, nutrient intake, and physical activity.
-
For nutrition supplements as needed or requested.
-
Analysis of any recent bloodwork you’ve had done, as well as recommended labs when applicable (which we can send to your doctor to order).
We can also order nutrition-related labs which can be done at your convenience either at home or at a local clinic (cost is out-of-pocket).
-
A summary of our initial session goals with personalized resources and recommendations. Think meal & snack ideas, product recommendations, reference materials, and more.
-
Unlimited virtual chat support on our HIPAA-compliant platform for up to 1 month after each session.
THE processOur Follow-Ups
After our Initial Assessment, we’ll meet regularly for your 45-minute Follow-Up Sessions. These can be done at your pace - there’s no set timeline. During each session you and your dietitian will:
-
We’ll celebrate your wins and troubleshoot the challenges you had since our last session.
If applicable, we’ll review changes in your symptoms and any lab work or procedure results.
If you kept a food & symptom journal or a hunger & satiety journal since our last session, we’ll chat about this too (these are both optional!).
-
Together we’ll tweak the plan we made during your last session so that it better fits your life and is realistic for you to do.
If applicable, we’ll also switch up the interventions we put in place to manage symptoms, improve labs, etc.
Lastly, we’ll order or request any lab work that we think might be beneficial.
-
Again, our goal is to make sure your goals make sense for you! This is a collaborative effort, not another health professional just telling you what to do (especially when you know your body best!).
-
For nutrition supplements as needed or requested.
-
We’ll upload personalized resources to your portal as needed after each session.
-
Unlimited virtual chat support on our HIPAA-compliant platform for up to 1 month after each session.
Let us set you up with everything you need to find real results.
here's everything else we'll set you up with as a client: Access to your own private HIPAA-compliant portal for chat support, video sessions, and resource sharing
Picture-based food journaling that we can review together for personalized insights and recommendations (we love how our system allows for hunger & fullness reflections instead of tracking calories!)
Huge nutrition resource bank with handouts, exercises, recipes, meal planning guides, and more, just for our clients!
Exclusive discounts on dietitian-vetted supplements and other trusted products

Questions about working with our Chicago Nutritionist team?
We’re a good fit if:
Your health & nutrition needs fall into one of the categories of expertise on either Emmy or Jackie’s bios.
You are ok with not focusing on weight during our work together. (Mixed feelings on this? It’s ok, we get it - send us an email to chat).
You want to develop the tools and behaviors to have a balanced relationship with food and feel good in your body for the long run (whatever that means for you).
You’re ready to invest the time and resources into improving your health and relationship with food for the long run.
We’re not a good fit if:
You want us to calculate your calories or macros and give you parameters to follow.
You want a day-to-day meal nutrition and exercise plan that you can follow to a T.
Your main goal is to lose weight, and you’re not open to instead discussing behaviors that are health-promoting but may or may not result in weight loss.
You want a quick fix or miracle juice (we don’t blame you, but we don’t have this!).
