Menu Planning Nutritionists and Dietitians near Oak Brook, IL

People who wish to lose weight are battling a variety of factors related to behavior, psychology, and physiological adaptations that reduce how much fat our body is willing to burn while nudging us to eat more. I use only evidence based strategies to get onto flexible and sustainable meal and exercise plans that work because they are based 100% on science and tailored to the individual from a person that has gone through the weight loss and health journey herself, me!

I love working with patients along any part of the disorder eating spectrum. Coming to see a Dietitian is a brave step on the journey towards a better relationship with food and I am here to help!

I have been a dietitian for 14 years, all of which have included pediatrics to adults. I have worked at two children’s hospitals as well as outpatient settings. Diabetes has been an interest of mine since the beginning so I pursued an advanced certification as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I especially enjoy working with insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. I became a dietitian after playing sports throughout my life and becoming a runner as an adult. Heart disease runs in my family and I took a special interest in improving the food choices of those around me to improve their health.

Being able to participate in this journey kindles my passion for helping others be empowered to achieve their goals and have a healthy relationship with food, and improve their quality of life.

The ideal client I treat is ready intentionally to implement changes that involve thought processes and behaviors involving food culture and healthy food adoption. Additionally, a willingness to partner exercise with nourishing eating positively impacts mental, emotional and physical health. I have worked extensively with individuals to achieve a healthy relationship with their bodies. I create an atmosphere to support change via individual treatment plans, meal planning, assessment of emotions' role with eating, and exercise prescription when appropriate.

Are you looking for an individualized approach to nutrition? Do you feel stuck in the dieting cycle and not sure where to go next?

In my undergraduate program at Benedictine University, I was awarded the community nutrition award; which is awarded to dietetic students that provide service to the community through nutrition. Fast forward a few years, and I have been a dietitian for almost 4 years. It is enlightening to see how much has changed since the beginning of my career. As well as how much I have learned and grown throughout while educating clients about their nutrition needs. Clients should expect to learn what steps to take in their lifestyle to achieve success with any nutrition change they set for themselves.

IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL sessions available. Nutrition is a complicated, frustrating, and difficult topic for so many. I specialize in eating disorders including: binge eating disorder (BED), Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED), avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), orthorexia, compulsive exercise, emotional eating and chronic dieting behaviors with or without a formal diagnosis.

At our first session, the average person tells me "I know what I need to do, I just wish I had the willpower to do it." Many rely on sheer willpower to accomplish their goals instead of learning how to make nutrition a simple and enjoyable process. Nutrition is not supposed to be this hard or guilt-inducing. It should primarily mold around your general life and preferences, not the other way around. My main approach to accomplish this is to build a basic understanding on why your old habits do not work, and why these new habits will work.

I have a Masters degree in nutrition and am a licensed and credentialed registered dietitian. I’m experienced in addressing nutritional needs for diverse populations; specifically infants, children, prenatal and postnatal care, and lactating people. I also have experience with managing and preventing diabetes. On a personal note, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes years ago and know too well the impact that a big health diagnosis can have on your life. Through this experience, I’ve understood the importance of being in touch with your food and wellbeing, and always checking nutrition labels!

HI, I’m Alexis! I am a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian specializing in all forms of disordered eating, substance abuse, and medical nutrition therapy. My nutrition counseling approach would be described as weight neutral, client-centered, and evidence-based. I believe everyone has the potential to actualize a life free from the burdens of dieting, the pressure of self-criticism, and the distress of consistent body dissatisfaction. I also believe clients nutritionally affected by certain medical diagnoses can find joy in preparing meals consistent with their new version of health.

IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL appointments available. I have had the pleasure of serving the eating disorder community for 10+ years, working in all levels of care. Majority of my experience has been at the inpatient level of care, most recently serving as the Supervisor of Dietitians and Inpatient Eating Disorder Program at a behavioral health hospital. I have also worked in transitional living, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient nutrition counseling. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), I work throughout the spectrum of eating disorders with all aged individuals.
