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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a credentialed practitioner who has, at least, completed a bachelor’s degree, a supervised practice program, the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s exam, and a state license. Both RD and RDN are protected titles, meaning only those who have completed the qualifications can use the titles. Nutritionist, however, is not a protected title, and anyone can claim it.
