Meet Marci

​

Hi, I’m Marci D’Andrea!! I have my Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine,  I'm a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist in IL and a Certified Nutrition Specialist/ CNS® .  Additionally, I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, Pompa Certified Health Coach and Positive Intelligence( PQ) Coach with a background as a middle school Health Teacher. 

 

My interest in Nutrition, coaching and a holistic approaches began as a College Athlete and Health Education major.  As an inner city middle school teacher, I taught holistic principles to my students and did a lot of life coaching.  In 2001 my family was thrown into a health crisis, that became a journey that needed more. We took the traditional route at first, but we made very little progress. We wanted to know what was driving or causing the sudden and many chronic and un-diagnosed  health issues that started with my husband, then my son, then my daughter. We had more questions than answers. We wanted to work with health care professionals that would help us find the root causes. But that was hard to fine. So I dove all in to find help and answers. 

 

Along the way, my knowledge grew as I was seeking help for our family health situations.  Over the years I encountered many others having many health issues that were undiagnosed and/or getting worse.  I wanted to help them find lasting solutions too. In 2016, I went back to school to make that dream a reality to help others by earing a MS, LDN,  CNS® and Health Coach training.  

 

​I love to help others, as well as being with my family  and friends, being outdoors, skiing, hiking, gardening, swimming in the ocean, traveling, reading, coaching sports teams, cooking, serving the Lord, meeting new people and learning new things. I've been married since 1992, have 3 amazing adult children (28, 25, 23), and 2 handsome grandsons.
