Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Natalie Weiss RD is a virtual private practice providing personalized nutrition care for women and families throughout Illinois. I specialize in food allergies, elimination diets, dietary restrictions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum nutrition.
This practice was created with a clear purpose: to make complicated nutrition guidance feel more practical, manageable, and personal.
A new diagnosis or dietary restriction can quickly make everyday eating feel overwhelming. You may understand the recommendation in theory, but still be left wondering what to buy, what to cook, how to meet nutrition needs, and how to make it all work for your family.
I wanted to offer something different.
A space where your questions are taken seriously. Where your concerns are heard. And where nutrition recommendations are translated into realistic meals.
My approach is shaped by my own experience with food allergies, breastfeeding, and the demands of the childbearing years. Those experiences led me to expand my training in lactation and strengthened my interest in supporting families during times when nutrition and feeding can feel especially complicated.
This work is deeply personal to me, and it shapes the way I care for every client.
About Natalie
I’ve been a dietitian since 2008, and women’s health has always been a passion of mine. My career began in hospitals, working in acute care, the ICU, and the NICU, caring for patients and newborns with complex nutrition needs.
Those experiences shaped the way I think about disease prevention and the importance of evidence-based care. In 2024, I added my Certified Lactation Counselor credential; something I’d wanted for a long time.
Before having my first daughter, I worked at an integrative fertility clinic in Chicago called Pulling Down the Moon, providing complementary care for women going through IVF. Around the same time, I completed yoga teacher training with a focus on prenatal yoga and taught classes in the city. I’ve also written and contributed to books on nutrition and feeding, including self-publishing Eating for Breast Cancer Prevention and co-authoring An Idiot’s Guide to Homemade Baby and Toddler Food with Penguin Random House, translating nutrition science into practical guidance for families.
Now, I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my husband and our three kids. I love cooking, being active, and spending time outdoors. One of the things that makes my approach unique is that I bring the same love and creativity to food as I do to nutrition science. I secretly wish I lived in the mountains, but the Midwest is home, and I’m grateful to do work that feels meaningful while raising three wonderful kids.
