Nutritionist in Chicago for Gut Health and Sports Performance
I'm a nutritionist in Chicago specializing in gastrointestinal and digestive disorders and in sports and performance nutrition. Whether you're managing a chronic digestive condition or training for the Chicago Marathon, I build sessions around your specific goal rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Chicago has one of the largest GI healthcare ecosystems in the country, with a dense network of gastroenterologists across the city's major hospital systems, and a marathon culture that brings tens of thousands of runners through training blocks every year. A nutritionist in Chicago who works closely with both groups understands what each one actually needs.
Sports & Performance Nutrition for Chicago Athletes
As a sports nutritionist Chicago runners and cyclists rely on during marathon training season, I build fueling plans around race day, not a generic template.
Who I support:
Marathoners & Distance Runners: Fueling and hydration plans built around training for the Chicago Marathon and other major races.
Cyclists: Nutrition strategies for lakefront trail training and long-distance rides.
Recreational & Competitive Athletes: Support for anyone training seriously through Chicago's training season, including winter base building.
Busy Professionals Training Around Work: Fueling plans that fit early-morning or after-work training schedules.
Athletes With Digestive Symptoms During Training: Fueling adjustments for runners managing GI distress mid-run or on race day.
Gastrointestinal & Digestive Health for Chicago Clients
If you're searching for a Chicago dietitian who works alongside your gastroenterologist rather than in place of one, my clinical background is specifically in gastrointestinal and digestive disorders.
Who I support:
IBS & SIBO: Nutrition therapy to identify and manage daily digestive triggers.
Reflux, Bloating & Constipation: Evidence-based strategies for chronic discomfort.
Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: Nutrition support coordinated with your GI physician's care plan.
Unexplained Digestive Symptoms: Guidance for clients still working toward a diagnosis.
Additional Nutrition Specialties
Beyond gut health and sports performance, I also support clients through a broader range of nutrition-related health conditions:
Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions: Anti-inflammatory nutrition strategies beyond digestive disease.
Food Allergies & Intolerances: Individualized plans to identify trigger foods without unnecessary elimination.
Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health: Nutrition guidance for cholesterol, blood sugar, and heart health.
Pediatric Nutrition: Family-centered care for children and teens with digestive or growth concerns.
Kidney, Liver & Cancer Nutrition Support: Specialized nutrition therapy coordinated with your medical team.
Enteral & Parenteral Nutrition Support: Guidance for clients managing tube feeding or IV nutrition.
Why Chicago Clients Work With Me Virtually
Between the size of the city, winter weather, and the demand on Chicago's GI specialists, getting a timely in-person appointment with a dietitian in Chicago who focuses on your specific condition isn't always realistic. Sessions happen over HIPAA-compliant video or phone, so you get a full medical history review, lab interpretation, and a personalized action plan without adding a commute to the Loop.
