Can't find the right match?
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Top qualifications
Only those who qualify as a registered dietitian can be officially registered as a nutritionist in Illinois. Fay’s database of registered dietitian nutritionists in Chicago are the most qualified nutrition providers out there, all being board-certified by the Commission of Dietetic Registration.
Kind, empathetic providers
Getting proper care is hard enough – dealing with a cold, rushed provider makes it even worse. Fay’s dietitians are thoroughly vetted not just for their qualifications but also their bedside manner. To back this up, all providers have transparent reviews where you can see what outcomes they’ve achieved with existing clients to give you total peace of mind.
Your personal accountability partner
Has fear of failure held you back from achieving your goals? When you work with a dietitian, you get a built-in accountability partner to help you stay on the right path while making the necessary changes to meet your goals. They’re there to answer any questions, navigate setbacks, and cheer you on every step of the way.
Meet how you want, when you want
Fay’s dietitians are available both in-person and virtually based on your preferences. Meeting virtually can open up even more options, as you can then meet not just with Chicago dietitians, but RDs all over the country, which can help you find the exact right provider for your needs.
What sets Fay’s Chicago dietitians apart
Custom meal plans
Trying to lose weight as a vegetarian? Navigating your diet after finding food intolerances? Not sure how to eat right for PCOS? Your Fay dietitian takes into account your health history, preferences, and goals to create a completely personalized plan that fits both your lifestyle and desired outcomes.
A non-diet approach
Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, Fay dietitians craft their plans from an additive perspective instead of a restrictive one. Sustainable change comes from realistic plans that work with your life, not against it. This non-diet approach helps people of all backgrounds cultivate a healthier relationship with food.
Covered by insurance
Nutrition services can be expensive. Fay’s mission is to increase access to affordable, inclusive nutrition counseling by using the nutrition benefits that come with most health insurances but few people know about. With Fay, you could pay as little as $0 per session.
Clinically proven methods
When you work with a Fay dietitian in Chicago, you’re not getting a generic meal plan and a few recipes. You’re getting a custom diet meal plan based on evidence-backed methods custom to you and you alone. Using well-studied tools like food journaling, mindfulness exercises, and meal planning, you can create lasting change.
Chicago: The Windy City blowing up food trends
The state of health in Chicago
Over 30% of Chicago adults are obese and only 30% report meeting their daily fruit and vegetable servings. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Cook County. While the Chicago population as a whole is relatively healthy, these conditions are easily prevented and treated with dietary changes in conjunction with lifestyle and medical interventions.
Chicago as a culinary center
Chicago is a tastemaker, globally known for dishes like deep dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs. However, Illinois is a rich agricultural center, and locally grown organic foods are also readily available. One day you might be chowing down on a hot dog at Wrigley Stadium, the next, a farm-to-table meal.
Fighting the seasonal mentality
Balance can be difficult to come by in the Windy City, with the harsh winters forcing everyone inside and the beautiful summers sending the city down to the lake. Find your own equilibrium in every season for sustainable change with the help of a qualified registered dietitian.
