Holly Herrington Dietitian / Nutritionist Ms, RD, LDN, CDE

Holly Herrington, MS, RD, LDN, CDE: I've been a Registered Dietitian for 8 years and I am in my 4th year as a Certified Diabetes Educator. I have previously served as clinical dietitian in the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for seven years. Alongside Dr. Robert Kushner, I authored multiple textbook chapters on nutrition for bariatric surgery and weight regain following bariatric surgery. I have been a guest lecturer and presenter at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), The Obesity Society (TOS) and a faculty speaker at the Obesity Summit 2015.

Always a lover of learning, I hold two undergraduate degrees from Mississippi State University in Marketing and Human Sciences. When I decided to pursue a career as a registered dietitian, I returned to school to receive a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from the University of Mississippi. I completed a dietetic internship and masters degree in Clinical Nutrition from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. I then worked as both an inpatient and outpatient dietitian at Rush before joining Northwestern in 2009. Focusing my career to help persons who struggle with weight, I received certification in Adult Weight Management, levels 1 and 2, from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Multiple media appearances have brought me backto my initial PR roots. I have been a requested expert for media outlets including FOX News Chicago and ABC7 Chicago, and was been featured in US News and World Report, Men’s Health and the Chicago Tribune. My clinical interests include weight loss/bariatric surgery, diabetes management, cardiovascular health, gastrointestinal health and prenatal nutrition.
