I think every review I've read starts with "Renee is amazing", and that's truly because she is. I…read morestarted working with Renee in 2015 and I immediately knew she was a perfect fit for what I needed. Renee, as a registered dietician and nutritionist, is so knowledgable about the human body and it's correlation to dietary needs as well as the psychological correlation to food, dieting, well-being, etc - which, aside from the actual dietetic aspect of the plan, are such crucial pieces when trying to figure out the best plan 'for you'. She not only has the expertise mentioned above, but most importantly (IMO) is compassionate, nonjudgemental, caring, and really wants to see you succeed. Renee is your coach, cheerleader and teammate, making her a truly unique person to work with. I can't recommend her enough and am lucky to have her 'on my team'.

Renee is amazing! I was feeling very low-energy and bloated, and she helped me realize that I…read moreneeded to add more protein to my diet and cut back on sugar. She has also been super helpful at getting me more organized with meal planning. The treatment series is expensive, but so worth it. She is almost like a therapist too, because she asks great questions about WHY and HOW I want to feel better.

I have had hypothyroidism for nearly 20 years and I have medicated with Levothyorixine, prescribed…read moreby my general practitioner. Despite being at the correct dose (per *some* bloodwork), I was regularly cold, sometimes anxious, quick to go from not hungry to starving, and sometimes lethargic (despite living a very active lifestyle). After just two appointments with Dr. Simms and additional biometric (blood and saliva) testing, we both came to the conclusion that not only was I working against my thyroid by way of the foods that I was eating, but I was also suffering from iron and vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, I had moderate hormonal imbalances. These weren't far-fetched, non-Western conclusion, but founded in more accurate interpretations and more complete biometrics. The "prescription" was a variety of supplements to address deficiencies and excesses. I appreciate that Dr. Simms did not push me to buy the supplements offered at her clinic, as this would have been a turn-off for me. Through some research, I was able to meet my nutritional and supplements needs in an affordable way. I have not yet had my biometrics re-run, but I know that I am better off. I sleep better, feel better (mood and energy), am no longer cold, and more relaxed. I highly recommend arranging for a consultation with her and bring any existing blood work results to support your discussion. Though she was not covered by my insurance, she was well-worth the cost. And, I was able to pay for my bills with my medical savings account.

Our first appointment was virtual and I found her to be very attentive and engaging. She allowed ample time to discuss my concerns and objectives where my health was concerned. She was able to set up a protocol which included supplements, diet & exercise. Along the way, I have found her to be available to me for any questions and concerns that I may have had and has always replied in a very timely fashion. Today marks one month exactly since I've been on the regimen and I am so pleased to say that my symptoms have improved tremendously! She truly cares about helping her patients resolve their issues and attain optimal health. If you are in search of a highly qualified and knowledgeable doctor to address your WHOLE health, I strongly recommend Dr. Simms.

I've gone to Cristina twice in 2 years. I learned a lot about eating right when I first met her in…read moreOctober 2017. I weighed 160 pounds with 25% body fat and had a body age of 37. One month later I lost 12 pounds and had a body fat content of 19% and had the body of a 30-year old at age 31. One year later, I was hit by a car while I was on my bicycle and suffered a broken left wrist, a sprained right shoulder, and a left knee contusion. I knew that I could not heal faster by putting extra stress on my joints despite healthy physique. That's when I called Cristina again. She put me on a meal plan that not only helped me weigh 138 lbs with 14% body fat and have the body of a 21-year old but helped me heal faster too. My cast was removed 3 weeks and 3 days after the accident and my wrist completely healed 3 weeks afterward. Cristina does a great job of tailoring meal plans for your situation and she will change your life for the better. I am now more confident than ever due to the hard work that I put in and I am very grateful to be alive and healthy thanks to her commitment and support for me during my greatest obstacle.

I workout with her and follow her custom meal plans. In just a short period of time I am stronger, my posture is better and my back and hips are never tight. If you are looking for a trainer, I highly recommend Cristina. Each training session is different and tailored to you. I find I actually look forward to my workouts. She ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. In addition, Cristina is patient and encouraging, but more importantly she is always available to answer questions. She is extremely reliable and punctual with exercise routines planned in advance. I can't be happier with what Cristina has helped me to achieve (that has been safe and sustainable). Thank you so much!

Aligned Modern Health has truly changed my life! From the front desk staff to the chiropractors…read morethemselves, everyone here is incredible (I love the West Loop office, too). I first saw them in March 2019 for some upper right back pain, and though it took a few months of adjustments, rehab, etc., I was feeling 100% back to normal around June. I went from not even being able sit down or take an Uber comfortably to back in the gym weight lifting and thriving. Since then, I started paying for their monthly wellness plan ($90 a month for one 30 minute massage and a chiro adjustment), and it's the best money I've ever spent. Marissa is an incredible massage therapist! She always does a great job working on my neck and upper shoulders where I hold a lot of my tension​. I can't say enough about this place. Dr. Kneessi is the sweetest soul -- I love her adjustment style, and she takes the time to listen to everything affecting me, even all of my mental health items​ and other stress going on that I know relate​ to my pain. They're truly holistic in nature, and take time to teach/educate you, which I can more than appreciate. I loved learning why I was feeling the way I was. So knowledgable. If you have any pain or just ongoing chiro needs, GO HERE!

This review is specifically about Mikaela, one of their dietitians. I met with her twice, and it…read morewas a complete waste of my time. The TL;DR is that the information she provided was horribly misguided and showed her lack of knowledge in weight loss issues with someone who is in their 50s struggling to lose weight. She was also incredibly rude and condescending. During our first meeting, she spent a ridiculous amount of time reviewing a confusing chart that she had difficulty explaining when she could have bottom-lined it in a few minutes. That left only a short amount of time to discuss calorie/macro goals, so we had to schedule a second apt. since we only had time to discuss breakfast. She REALLY needs coaching on time management, to not be able to discuss essential items like a food plan in an initial meeting is unacceptable. During the second apt, she sent me the zoom link after our starting time -- which is extremely frustrating since there were technical issues. I usually sign in a few minutes early when I have a link to work through any issues. I wanted to get straight to the calorie/macro information. She wasn't at all prepared for the meeting and asked if I was the wrong height and weight and then said, "oh, that's someone else" After giving her the correct weight and answering other questions, she took several minutes to calculate a calorie goal -- I could have done this by Googling a similar chart. My goal with working with a dietitian is to have someone with enough knowledge to put context and details around this information. She gave me ridiculous numbers for maintenance and weight loss calories. I had an overall idea of how much I should be eating due to going to a weight loss spa and losing 35 lbs based on the plan they gave me. When I told her this, instead of asking insightful questions, she was completely condescending, TELLING me that the calorie range I stated could lead to muscle loss and that there are more important things than just the numbers on the scale. Well, for me, right now the number on the scale IS the most important thing, I'd like to get 20-30 libs off and then I can start thinking about incorporating a muscle building plan -- She was soooo disrespectful of my goals. She's a bit cocky for someone with only a year out of school under her I'm so disappointed since I've had a great experience with Dr. Dever a chiropractor and with Dr. Toth - an integrative dr. I've been an Aligned customer for 15+ years and this is my first bad experience. Mikaela gives Aligned a bad name.

I thought I knew what I was doing! I would add my food intake to My Fitness Pal, somedays. Read…read morethe macros and the other the data and thought I was on the right track but never felt better. I was misguided by a local Fitness Club Nutritionist who had me on a 1200 calorie diet. She checked the box after my 15 min visit. I did not have enough fiber in my diet (digestive issues) along with just good nutrition to help my gut! I connected with Jess about 1 1/2 years ago and have a better understanding of nutrition. To be honest, I was just eating and hoping for the best! Jess is thoughtful, she listens and explains if you eat this with that, how it will help build a better you. She is not here to say, stop eating this or that. She is here to help you be a better version of you! Healthier and Happier! I have had digestive issues for years (40) and assumed I would have it forever like my family. Jess has introduced me to a couple of supplements that have helped greatly. I have a better understanding of reading labels, nutrition and most important, feedback from a professional. An App can't give you that. She has suggested things that I normally walk by in a grocery store. I have been pleasantly surprised by new food! I make better choice now because good health is so important! Am I perfect, no but much better now that I am working with Jess. Kathy

I sought out Michelle Gillespie Nutrition because my spouse had some frustrations with her body…read more She preferred to eat an ovo-vegetarian diet, exercised almost daily but was troubled that she was not getting stronger. Since we are a couple and grocery shop together and often eat similarly, Chelle suggested that she consult with both of us but focus most of her attention on my spouse. She asked for both of us to send her the results of routine blood-work ahead of time (mine from a doctor and my spouse from a lab). Chelle reviewed our blood-work and wrote lots of notes on them. She went over each measure and what it might mean for us. At one point, Chelle had a note to ask about irritability. I was so surprised because she was right. Based on my spouse's blood-work, Chelle recommended more protein in her diet. Next, Chelle gave us a questionnaire that asked us about our dietary tendencies. For example, do we usually eat vegetables first and then meat or the other way around? Chelle encouraged us to think about how we feel when we eat certain foods. Do we feel tired or bloated? After talking with us, looking at our blood work, and evaluating our questionnaires, Chelle recommended some dietary changes for my spouse. She needed to eat more protein; however, Chelle tried to be respectful of my spouse's ovo-vegetarian preferences. Chelle used some charts to show us how foods are categorized as either proteins or carbs. The proteins and the carbs were then subdivided into more categories. It was fascinating to learn that when eating a meal, we should try to eat certain foods first followed by others in order to feel more satisfied. Although Chelle prefers real food, she suggested some supplements and protein powders for my spouse. Later, Chelle emailed us some meal plans for my spouse that would respect her ovo-vegetarian preferences while getting her to eat more protein. Chelle did not focus the consultation on me, but I have been eating differently since meeting with her. I eat a LITTLE more protein than I used to (some sausage and cheese in the morning and then some yogurt and fruit around lunchtime) and I have noticed that I'm full longer AND am not bloated! My spouse has been using the protein powder that Chelle suggested and she has been getting stronger. We're both pleased with these results!

I've…read morebeen trying to lose weight but haven't been able to figure out a healthy meal plan that I can maintain.

The combination of that information will help me with meal prepping and recipes to try! I'm so excited and finally feel like I found something that will help me continue to lose weight and, more importantly, be healthy. I'm going to recommend that all of my friends and family see Chelle! Thanks again, Chelle!
