Jennifer Finch, RD

Hello, my name is Jennie and I love being a dietitian because I get to help patients through their health journeys. When you work with me you can expect compassionate care that meets you where you are, and guides you to where you want to be. We’ll set small goals along the way to make your larger health goals achievable. I know how overwhelming it can seem to distinguish legitimate nutrition information from the next new trend in health (mis)information, and I’m here to help you make sense of all the noise and find your path.

​

As a licensed registered dietitian, I have a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from Northern Illinois University, and I also completed a 9-month internship through Harper College where I had hands on experience in hospitals, nursing homes, colleges and private practice.

​

The majority of my experience comes from being a clinical dietitian in a hospital setting. I’m so grateful for what this setting has taught me, and I’ve gotten a chance to counsel patients with a wide variety of nutrition issues. I can also help you make sense of lab work you may have gotten done with your doctor. I would love to counsel you on the following areas:

-Diabetes (or pre-diabetes) management and/or diabetes prevention

-Weight loss with or without medication

-Nutrition management of high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol

-Healthy weight gain after an illness

-Eating healthy on a budget

-Cooking healthy meals for a family

-Sharing tips for picky eaters

-And more

​

Besides being a dietitian, I’m also a wife and a mom of two very energetic kids. We love being active outdoors whenever we can! I also love to cook, go to Barre classes and travel. Our family definitely got the travel bug while we lived in Germany for three years for my husband’s job. We’ve been back in the US now for 3 years and we’re always looking for our next adventure.

​

I’m so looking forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!
