Dana Galic, RD

I am a dedicated Registered Dietitian with over 15 years of experience helping individuals manage chronic conditions through nutrition including chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease. I have a robust background in both outpatient and inpatient nutrition care and offer a wealth of knowledge from both settings. With twelve years of experience in outpatient dialysis, I was tasked with managing multiple and complex chronic conditions of my patient population. Additionally, having three years of background in the hospital setting, I provided nutrition care in various areas of expertise, including cardiac rehabilitation, bariatrics, weight loss, and oncology.

​

Along with my primary clinical experiences, I have an intense passion for prenatal, perinatal, and postpartum nutrition, fueled by my personal journey as a mother of three. During my career, I’ve completed extensive training in motivational interviewing, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeper level and empower them to make lasting changes in their health. I have a rooted passion and belief that all foods fit, and there are no fad diets in my therapeutic approach.

​

In my private practice, my goal is to help clients achieve optimal health and well-being through tailored nutrition strategies and ongoing empathetic support. I am committed to providing individualized nutrition and lifestyle counseling of each client, compassionately acknowledging and conquering together the many challenges that come along the way.

​

In addition to my clinical work history, I hold a Master of Business Administration from Benedictine University and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Penn State University. I completed my clinical internship program as a Registered Dietitian eligible at the University of Chicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial Hospital.

​

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes, strength training exercise, running, and spending quality time with my family. I am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals and those seeking guidance on their nutrition journey.
