Hi, I’m Benji
I’m looking forward to working with you
A bit about me
I’m a functional medicine practitioner, clinical nutritionist, herbalist and health coach, and I’ve been in practice for 9 years. I work with people whose health is complicated, whether that means overlapping symptoms, labs that don’t explain much, or plans that haven’t stuck.
Rather than aiming for perfection, I focus on what your body is doing and what’s realistic for you right now.
How I work
I start with function, looking at how your systems are working and what they need.
I keep things practical, so you get clear next steps instead of a 40-item list.
I work with your care team, coordinating with your doctors rather than around them.
I’m honest about my limits, so if something is outside my scope, I’ll tell you and point you to the right person.
Credentials
I’m a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) through the American Nutrition Association and a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist (LDN) in the state of Illinois. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health from the Maryland University of Integrative Health and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Indiana University.
Outside of work, I love connecting with people, being in nature, and seeing live music.
