Nutrition Counseling in Chicago, IL

Good news! Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling as a preventative or medical service, so you may be responsible for $0 or very little out of pocket. We’re in-network with most major providers, and every plan is different, so we encourage you to verify your insurance benefits to understand your coverage.

We believe nutrition counseling should be practical, personalized, and fun! We provide evidence-based care while teaching you how to use food as medicine—without extreme diets or unrealistic restrictions. Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are trained in the philosophies of intuitive eating, Health at Every Size, and weight-inclusive care. This means we meet you where you are and help you develop lasting strategies that work for your unique needs.

All of our dietitians are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs), meaning that they hold national certification, can provide medical nutrition therapy, and are experts in navigating complex medical conditions and nutrition needs. Many of our team members also hold specialized credentials in areas like diabetes care or oncology. Our full team is trained in intuitive eating philosophies and weight-inclusive care.

You don’t need a referral from your PCP or any other medical professional to receive nutrition counseling. While some insurance plans (specifically HMOs) might require a referral for coverage, you don’t need one for the appointment itself. 

Your first appointment typically lasts 55-85 minutes and gives us a chance to get to know you and your unique needs. You’ll discuss your medical history, current meal patterns, and any specific challenges. Your dietitian will help educate you and set specific, personalized goals.

If you’re local to one of our offices in Texas or Illinois, you can do either! You’re welcome to do a mix of telehealth and in-person sessions to keep things convenient for your personal schedule.

It varies! Your dietitian will provide recommendations and work with you to establish personalized goals, but the decision is ultimately up to you and what works best for your schedule.

Yes, we can!

Yes, we do have bilingual dietitians serving Illinois! You can meet our bilingual dietitians here under the “Specialties” filter.
