Ellen Muhammad, RD - Dietitian Nutritionist - Markham, Illinois

Dr. Muhammad was sensational. From the very beginning, she laid out exactly what we were going to try to accomplish, what he role was, and a detail of her approach to nutrition and wellness. As a woman of color, it was important for me to choose another woman of color who truly takes the time to understand my needs and also can keep it real with me on what needs to be done to meet my goals.

She was very careful to address all the concerns that I initially hired her for while also educating me on the best way to not only meet my immediate goals, but also optimize my health. There was mostly active dialogue between us, but she also provided imagery to further her presentation, and to be honest, further solidify her position as being an expert in her field. Unlike many people who I have dealt with in the past, all of her suggestions were backed by scientific research, so you could better understand WHY the plan that she suggests you follow is the most effective.

In addition to being extremely professional, she was also very human. She was nowhere near stuck up or condescending when she spoke to me. She was very interested and understanding where I was currently and what I wanted to accomplish. I honestly am still blown away by the totality of the entire conversation.

We covered a massive amount of information in a short amount of time, and she did different “temperature checks”throughout our conversation to make sure I didn’t have any questions and to also make sure that I understood everything that she was explaining to me.

Overall, it was a very informative and engaging session, and I look forward to utilizing the advice that she gave me so that I can meet my ultimate wellness goals. I look forward to further sessions!

I recently started seeing Dr. Muhammad to help me manage my weight, including diet and exercise patterns. She’s very thoughtful and intentional about the way she treats me. We have a lot of conversations, giving me a chance to provide input and opinions on what will work. I’m excited to see the changes I can make working with her.

I've only had an initial appointment with Dr. Muhammad, but I will definitely follow up! She was super knowledgeable and made complex nutrition advice easy to understand. Her style was educational, but collaborative, which I genuinely appreciated. I feel supported in my goals and I feel like I can trust her to hold me accountable. I highly recommend Dr. Muhammad to anyone looking for expert guidance with a compassionate touch!

I've worked with Ellen for a number of years, both in her role as a personal trainer and nutritionist. My health has improved greatly. I'm stronger, make better choices, and have more confidence. Her personalized methodologies and coaching coupled with her breadth of knowledge and desire for my success have made a huge difference in my life. I highly, highly, highly recommend her!!

Dr. Ellen is an amazing dietician! She really cares about her patients and meets you where you are in your health and wellness journey. Her positive feedback approach helps me stay motivated! In addition, she is an academic and bases her practice of off research. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are trying to lose weight and learn how to maintain it instead of yoyo diets.

Dr.Ellen has been so encouraging as I have started my journey to living a healthier life. We work on goals tailored to my lifestyle and she holds me accountable for obtaining these goals. She also is very kind and I truly believe that she has my best interest at heart.

Just plain awesome. Very comprehensive. I have had several appointments so far, and she is absolutely fantastic. She is very kind, and almost like a therapist. Lol. I love the way she starts the session once you have had at least one visit. On the next visit, it's always the same. "Let's talk about the wins, and progress, and then we can talk about struggles, concerns, questions..." Very loose paraphrase, but you get the idea. Very encouraging, having you set realistic goals, and expectations, and giving very attainable suggestions for meals and exercise. I can't speak highly enough of her KNOWLEDGE, compassion, and just a great person to talk to. I can't recommend her highly enough.The name may be fake on this account to keep my privacy, but the review is as real as it gets.
