About
Meet Shilpa Patel: Your Compassionate Functional Nutritionist
Welcome to a space where nutrition moves beyond diets and becomes a pathway to holistic healing and lifelong wellness. I’m Shilpa Patel, a Functional Nutritionist rooted in the vibrant northern suburbs of Illinois — though my journey began across the world in India.
My passion for health started early, leading me to earn my first B.Sc. in Food and Nutrition (1991) in India. After relocating to the United States in 1994, I continued to expand my understanding of health by completing a B.Sc. in Dental Hygiene/Health Science at the University of Bridgeport, CT.
For more than 15 years, I practiced as a Registered Dental Hygienist (2003–2019), working with both general and holistic dentists. Those years deepened my appreciation for whole-body wellness, but life had a different path in store. Environmental illness and CIRS from mold exposure forced me to step away from dentistry — and ultimately led me back to my true calling: nutrition and root-cause healing.
My personal health challenges taught me something profound: true healing happens when we look beyond medications and symptom-management and seek to uncover the root cause. With the guidance of a forward-thinking practitioner, I embraced nutritional and lifestyle changes that transformed my health from the inside out.
This experience fueled my decision to pursue advanced training in nutrition. I returned to the University of Bridgeport to earn my MS in Human Nutrition, followed by my CNS and LDN licensure. My journey from patient to practitioner has shaped the compassionate, integrative approach I bring to every client I serve.
Today, I am honored to support those seeking to optimize their health through personalized, functional nutrition strategies. I believe deeply in the power of food, lifestyle, and education to restore the body’s natural balance and vitality.
As your partner in wellness, I’m here to guide you from where you are to where you want to be — with empathy, evidence-based insight, and a commitment to your long-term wellbeing.
Your journey to optimized health begins here. Let’s walk this path of healing and transformation together.
