Health Professionals near Country Club Hills, IL

People who wish to lose weight are battling a variety of factors related to behavior, psychology, and physiological adaptations that reduce how much fat our body is willing to burn while nudging us to eat more. I use only evidence based strategies to get onto flexible and sustainable meal and exercise plans that work because they are based 100% on science and tailored to the individual from a person that has gone through the weight loss and health journey herself, me!

A little about me! I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2018. After this, I went on to complete my Master’s degree in Food and Nutrition at the same university in 2020. I completed my clinicals in the Chicago area and became a registered dietitian shortly after finishing up school. I have been working as an outpatient clinical dietitian for over two years now. I started out at Lake County Health Department and am currently working at Advocate Medical Group.

My journey into the world of nutrition began with a profound fascination for the powerful connection between what we eat and how we feel. I am a firm believer in adopting a holistic approach to nutrition, considering the physical aspects, emotional and social factors that influence our relationship with food. As a passionate and dedicated dietitian, my mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being through personalized and sustainable nutrition strategies.

HI, I’m Alexis! I am a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian specializing in all forms of disordered eating, substance abuse, and medical nutrition therapy. My nutrition counseling approach would be described as weight neutral, client-centered, and evidence-based. I believe everyone has the potential to actualize a life free from the burdens of dieting, the pressure of self-criticism, and the distress of consistent body dissatisfaction. I also believe clients nutritionally affected by certain medical diagnoses can find joy in preparing meals consistent with their new version of health.

As a Naturopath, I address the same problems that medical doctors see every day in their office. However, instead of treating a patient with medications that suppress symptoms, I work to find out what is causing the undesirable conditions. By exploring your specific symptoms and body/organ/gland conditions during your consultation, much can be learned about how your body is expressing nutritional deficiencies, the need to detoxify, weakened organ/glands, sensitivity to foods, emotional issues and more. Once this is understood it is often easy to explain how and why such negative symptoms and diseases have surfaced in the body.

Tina Musselman LPC, RDN, LDN, CLT: As a working mom of 2, I see you. You wear a lot of hats in life, but at the end of the day you have your own dreams and health goals. You want to be comfortable in your skin and have vitality to carry you through the day. The journey may not be easy or straightforward, but it is possible. I am not only a dietitian, but also a licensed counselor focused on all aspects of wellness. If all you want is a menu, I am not your professional. IF YOU WANT TRANSFORMATION, I look forward to speaking.

Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body. Everywhere I turned for guidance, I was told I just needed to have more discipline and self control. I was trapped in this cycle for 10+ years and desperate for a way out. If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.

Are you noticing that figuring out how to eat has become more challenging for you? Are you wanting to be able to tell what hunger and fullness feels like in your body? Are you feeling like you'd like to stop having as many negative thoughts about your body? Perhaps you've noticed that having restrictive rules around food has only made your relationship with food worse in the long run and you'd like to be able to heal from this.

For nearly a decade, I have specialized in working with adolescents and adults with disordered eating and medical nutrition therapy. I have worked as an RD in a variety of populations including eating disorders, general nutrition therapy at hospitals, the director of nutrition at a residential treatment facility and outpatient levels of care.

My name is Xin. I am the founder of Pei Gen Health and Advanced Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture. You may wonder what is the VITAL FORCE that keeps us alive. We call it 'Qi" (气). Balanced, unimpeded flow of Qi is critical to sound health. Any misdirection, blockage, or other derangement of the amount may result in pain, dysfunction, and ill health. With acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and other means, like Tuina, Guasha, and Cupping/Hijamah, we help restore the normal balance and flow of Qi, so your body will get enough blood supply, and can thus function normally for you.

Chiropractic care is more than just making the pain disappear. It is about learning, understanding and taking care of your body to improve quality of life. I educate my patients about Chiropractic and other natural solutions to common health problems. I will help you pursue a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining your optimal health. As a chiropractor, I understand that although my patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they may respond very differently to treatments. For this reason, I tailor a specific plan of action to meet your needs, goals & unique medical and physical condition.
