Background
Dana is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist certified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and licensed in the state of Illinois. She completed her internship at the UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial Hospital where she focused on community nutrition. Prior to her internship, she was awarded graduate student of the year while she completed her Master of Science degree in Food and Nutritional Sciences. Dana became a dietitian because she has a passion for helping others through food and lifestyle changes. Dana is fascinated by the fact that an individual’s relationship with food can help shape many other aspects of their life. Dana enjoys helping clients in whatever way possible, but her favorite is to approach things from a weight neutral perspective. She often integrates principles of mindful and intuitive eating into her practice as well. Overall, you can expect that Dana will provide you with evidence-based nutrition guidance and that she will help you to set realistic and attainable goals to help you become a healthier individual. When Dana isn't helping others reach their nutrition goals you can find her taking care of her cat Fancy, tending to her plants, or trying out a new workout class!
