Michelle Mckenna


 

Michelle is a native of Chicago where she is raising her three children with her husband Bill.  Michelle is a registered dietitian with a Master degree in Nutrition. She has had many experiences from working at a Public Relations firm where she used her nutrition expertise to promote nutrition products to providing outpatient nutrition counseling to patients in health clinics across London.  Michelle also spent many years working at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.

After the birth of her second child Michelle turned her attention to childhood nutrition and earned a certificate in Childhood Obesity prevention.  This led to consulting with children, parents and families on healthy eating and working in the local middle school running a farm to table program.  Through her consulting she encountered many high school and collegiate athletes that needed guidance with proper eating for optimal performance.  Among those are her children, two high school varsity athletes and her oldest son who is a D1 collegiate wrestler.  

Currently Michelle is working in long term care helping the aging population choose a balanced diet for optimal health and energy.
