About Hannah El-Amin
Dietitian, Nutritionist, and Certified Diabetes Educator with over 10 years of experience. Featured in O Magazine, Chicago Tribune, CBS News, and many other national media outlets. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Illinois, Chicago.
Insurance Note: We are in network for United Healthcare. Many of our patients also have PPO plans that offer out-of-network coverage for our services. Additionally, we are in network for some Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Ask if your plan has coverage for dietitians or "non-soliciting" providers. Call our office with questions or for more info.
People often expect that I will approach them with a list full of “don'ts.” Some clients even go so far as to have one last indulgent meal the night before they come in for an appointment with me. However, one of my major goals in nutrition therapy is to make the transition comfortable for my clients while still being effective.
Early in my career, I learned that more than 90% of people who attempt to lose weight with dieting will be unsuccessful. I also learned that the vast majority of those who fail at diets will eventually regain more than what they lost in the first place. I see this as unacceptable. At that point, I vowed to dedicate myself to making sure my clients are in the category of those who are successful long-term. This not only applies to weight management but also to Medical Nutrition Therapy for conditions such as diabetes, celiac disease, high cholesterol, and more. I believe strongly that a client shouldn't have to experience extreme sacrifice in order to be successful with their goals. As a matter of fact, I believe that feelings of sacrifice and deprivation will lead to failure over the long term. This is the idea behind Nutrition That Fits.

Honestly she didn’t do much. She provided a plan that a simple smartphone application could have done.

I received intake paperwork just a few hours before the start of my appointment. After my initial appointment it was impossible to get her to respond to me via call, email or text. I still haven’t heard anything from her. Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience.

Dr. Hannah El-Amin made sure I was comfortable and had all my questions answered during our consultation. I have never been to a dietitian and was a bit anxious as to how the first meeting would go but I am now very excited to continue working on my nutrition!

Very good visit. Easy to talk to and really understands your specific situation. Explains things clearly. No gimmicks or anything. Just plain, simple understanding of your eating habits. Easy to follow ideas for positive change.
July 7, 2015Alice L.Verified patient
I've only had one meeting with her, but she made a couple of observations after just speaking for about 30 minutes that I found very interesting, I shared them with my husband and he agreed that they were pretty insightful. I will definitely go back to see her as I think this journey will be very beneficial for me.

Very patient and down to earth. Very direct but respectful in her responses and suggestions. I felt very comfortable telling her about very personal things.

I love the fact that it was an one on one consult. She was extremely nice and helpful on a lot of tips far as personal and healthy choices of sleep patterns, stress patterns as well as food. It was easy to talk to her without feelings judge. i look forward to seeing her at our next appointment and I'm looking forward to see the improvements of my lifestyle.

Hannah El-Amin was just what I needed to lose those last stubborn 10lbs! She explained in a very understandable way the caloric needs my specific body needed and provided a journal that helped me keep track of my intake. Excersice alone is not going to get me to my long awaited goal. Hannah provided the tools and support I needed to see immediate results.
