    Hi I'm Elizabeth! I received my MS in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois, Chicago and I am a Registered Dietitian in the Chicago area. I am passionate about helping clients learn how to eat intuitively, establish peace with their bodies and discover their ultimate body glow from the inside out. Additionally, I specialize in helping clients decrease bloat and discover the root cause of digestive woes while helping to improve sleep, balance energy and enhance overall well-being. I’m a Registered Dietitian with an integrative approach to total mind-body health. I'm passionate about shattering the mental health stigma while providing diet-related, issue-specific solutions. Currently, while working on my private practice, Body Glow Nutrition, I work as a clinical dietitian. My travel through various states and hospitals gives me a unique view on what people are looking for from their nutrition information. My "previous life" was in public relations and strategic communication and I worked day-to-day with food/beverage, restaurant and hospitality clients. This brings me a unique perspective and skillset as writing, communicating and selling a product or idea was at the basis of what I did. My distinctive professional background along with my personal interest in nutrition gives me the ability to communicate with readers in an engaging and honest way. People trust me and I believe it is because I am genuinely me. I believe in what I do and it shows. Here's where I can help you: - Food therapy - Medical nutrition therapy - Mind/body connection - Mental health & diet - Writing (blogs, articles, guest editor, etc) - Research (products, trends, etc) - Meal planning - Grocery tours - Kitchen efficiency - If you can dream it (and it's nutrition-related), I can help achieve it!
