About Zul

My name is Franchesca, a licensed and registered Dietitian in the Chicago and Chicagoland area of Illinois. I primarily focus on weight loss nutrition (general support, anti-obesity medications like GLP-1s), pre and post bariatric surgery nutrition, GI concerns (chronic and acute issues), and exercise nutrition).

Approach to care

My goal is to create practical goals for already busy lifestyles. Patients are able to take ownership and accountability for their day to day habits when the goals work around their daily routines. I find that most patients need their dietitians to hold them accountable to establish consistency. My hope is to create a consistent habits through weekly check-in's, and this eventually could lead to a new lifestyle!

L- lifestyle (work, school, hobbies, athletics) I - individual goals F - fluency (what you know already and what you'll need further teaching in) E - exercise (current regimen, equipment/facility access, physical therapy, etc.)
