Personalized Care Plan in Illinois

Who offers the Personalized Care Plan in Illinois?

Jacob Dowling, RD, CDCES and Dr. Ambily Kushal, RD, MS, PhD offer it to patients in Illinois, with enrollment opening on each dietitian’s profile once the monthly program is in place. The plan is $750 a month with Jacob and $600 a month with Ambily, for four weekly 60-minute video sessions, a personal plan adjusted as you go, and chat and call support in between.

Every week on the plan is a full hour with Jacob on whatever brought you, from nutrition coaching, prediabetes, diabetes, injury recovery, sports nutrition and healthy habits.

Ambily’s specialties include heart disease, gut health, thyroid health, diabetes, weight loss and PCOS, so a month of weekly sessions can center on whichever of those brought you as easily as on everyday habits.

Near Chicago or far from any city, it makes no difference: sessions happen by video, and what matters is being in Illinois when each one starts.

Jacob and Ambily are not the only choices here: three more registered dietitians who may see patients in Illinois can open the same standard plan once their enrollment opens, with specialties such as gut health & IBS, thyroid health, autoimmune conditions, women's health and men's health.

Single visits with Jacob or Ambily can be booked today, starting with a first visit at $140; raise the plan there, and enroll on each dietitian’s profile once the monthly program is in place. Illinois licenses dietitians, and the plan is only ever run by one who may practise here.

Seeing a dietitian by video in Illinois

Illinois is Chicagoland plus a long agricultural state beneath it, where a specialist dietitian is much harder to find.

Illinois is on Central Time. Visit times are always shown in your own time zone.

What a registered dietitian can help with

  • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
  • Nutrition support on GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound)
  • Weight management
  • PCOS
  • High blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Fatty liver
  • IBS, SIBO, reflux and other gut conditions
  • Thyroid conditions

How to choose the best dietitian in Illinois for you

There is no single best dietitian, only the right one for what you need. Five things worth checking, whoever you end up seeing:

  1. 1

    Check the credential. Look for RD or RDN. It means an accredited degree, a supervised internship and a national exam. In many states anyone may call themselves a “nutritionist”.

  2. 2

    Check they may practise in Illinois. Illinois licenses dietitians, so the person you see must hold that state licence. Ask for it, or ask us. What matters is the state where YOU are sitting during the visit, not where the dietitian is.

  3. 3

    Match the specialty. Ask what share of their patients have your condition. Someone who sees diabetes or gut conditions every day will get you further, faster.

  4. 4

    Know the price first. You should see the full price before you book, and what happens if you cancel. If you cannot, keep looking.

  5. 5

    Ask about between visits. Most of the change happens between appointments. Find out whether you can message your dietitian and how quickly they answer.

How a visit works

Step 1

Pick a time

Choose a dietitian and a slot that suits you. The price is on the screen before you confirm.

Step 2

Meet by video

Join from your phone or computer. Your first visit is 60 minutes: history, goals, and a plan you can actually follow.

Step 3

Keep going between visits

Message your dietitian, keep your plan in one place, and book follow-ups when you need them.

Questions people ask

How much does a dietitian cost in Illinois?
A video visit with a registered dietitian on CognitiveMind.ai is $140 self-pay. Packages bring that down: 3 visits for $399, 8 for $1,024, or 20 for $2,400. You see the price before you book, there is no subscription, and you get a receipt for every visit.
Do I need insurance or a referral?
No. You can book and pay directly without insurance and without a referral.
Can the dietitian legally see me in Illinois?
Yes. The dietitians shown on this page may see patients located in Illinois: they hold that state’s licence or certification where one exists, or the state does not require one. We only list a dietitian under a state where they may practise.
Do I have to live near a city?
No. Visits are by secure video, so anywhere in Illinois with a phone or computer works. You do need to be physically located in Illinois at the time of the visit, because that is what licensure is based on.
How do I find the best dietitian in Illinois for me?
“Best” depends on what you need help with. Look for the RD or RDN credential, confirm they may practise in Illinois, ask how much of their work is with your condition, make sure you know the price up front, and ask how you reach them between visits.
What time zone are visit times shown in?
Yours. Illinois is on Central Time, and the booking calendar shows times in your own time zone wherever your dietitian is.
