Background

Alaa Elhannouny, a Registered Dietitian (RD) credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, completed her supervised practice in the Master's Coordinated Nutrition program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her motivation as an RD is driven by her goal to prevent and combat the chronic conditions that affect many individuals today. Recognizing that nutrition is a key lifestyle risk factor for chronic diseases, she strives to empower clients to make informed decisions for optimal nutrition, helping them feel their best. Alaa believes that nutrition is vital for overall health, regardless of existing conditions, similar to how going to the gym doesn't require being overweight or seeking psychotherapy doesn't require being mentally ill. Nutrition therapy can benefit everyone, even without a chronic illness. A dietitian can be your accountability partner, supporting you in developing sustainable habits for long-term wellness. Alaa encourages all individuals to invest in their health and build habits with a lasting positive impact. Making a commitment to nutrition sessions is a proactive step in maintaining health and preventing future health issues. It can lead to improved energy levels, enhanced mental clarity, and overall quality of life. Alaa has a passion for exploring the rich history of food and nutrition and the diverse cultures behind various cuisines. This passion adds depth to her approach as an RD allowing her to provide a well-rounded perspective to her clients. Alaa is committed to guiding you on your journey of health and well-being.
