Deepa Deshmukh, RD

Finding Deepa was truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I feel empowered, energized and excited to work with her. Deepa has taught me how to get to the root of my weight issues. She helped me maintain healthy pregnancies while managing a very busy life. Deepa’s pre-natal and post-natal nutrition advice intelligently highlighted the importance of incorporating large amounts of greens and plant foods in my diet. Her brilliant advice not only allowed me to have healthy deliveries but also helped me achieve a healthy postpartum recovery- by helping in physical healing, replenishing vital nutrients lost during pregnancy and promoting milk production. Deepa’s dietary knowledge and advice helped me to loose 20 lbs after each pregnancy. Deepa has completely changed the way I think about food, about eating and about health. I strongly believe that my new diet will positively impact my children’s health and even the health of subsequent generations. What a beautiful feeling that is

Deepa is very knowledgeable about plant-based diets. I have had 5-6 tele-visits with her. I was already following a modified Ornish diet, but my doctor recommended Deepa to help make sure I was getting enough protein. Deepa educated me about the best vegetable protein sources and that has helped, and I have also continued to learn about the benefits of eating whole, natural foods. My prostate had been inflamed and growing (BPH) and I had some concern about it becoming cancerous, but in the last year it has become stable, even reducing in size a bit according to the latest MRI. I also have become more conscious of the added sugars in my diet and have been eliminating them and substituting them with whole fruits. My A1C was not so bad at 5.8 a year ago, but my recent test showed it was down to 5.4. An added benefit that I didn't expect was my total cholesterol going down from around 180 (which wasn't so bad) to around 130 after six months on the plant-based diet (much better!).

I started my journey towards a healthier lifestyle with Deepa nearly a year ago. During my annual physical exam, I found out that my AC1 results indicated that I was in the prediabetic stage, and my cholesterol, LDL, and high blood pressure were above average. Deepa is an exceptional dietician and nutritionist with vast knowledge of health, nutrition, and well-being. Her coaching sessions are informative, and she takes the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. She provided me with a detailed diet plan, mainly a low-fat whole food plant-based diet. My AC1, cholesterol, and LDL are now within the normal range, and I feel fantastic. Overall, my digestive health and well-being have improved. I highly recommend Deepa. She is friendly and caring and guides you through this lifestyle change. I am forever grateful for her support and guidance on my nutritional and well-being journey.

'I am excited to share my experience with weight loss transformation under the guidance of Deepa Deshmukh. For years, I struggled to shed excess weight until I turned to Deepa as a final resort. During our first consultation, she recommended a plant-based diet without strict measurements. Although I was initially surprised by this approach, I decided to embrace it wholeheartedly.To my delight, I have experienced remarkable changes in just 7 weeks - I have lost 10 pounds! This is a significant milestone in my 22-year weight loss journey, as I have never achieved such results without feeling starved or deprived. I eagerly await my blood work results and watch my cholesterol levels go down. I wholeheartedly endorse following Deepa's guidance for a minimum of 3 months; the rewards are undeniable. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!'

I want to share my experience working with Deepa, who has been instrumental in transforming my health. Since beginning our sessions, I've seen remarkable improvements in several areas, including weight loss, heart-health, digestive health, and overall well-being. My blood glucose and cholesterol levels have significantly improved as well. The personalized diet plans and continuous support have made a huge difference. I feel more energized and healthier than ever before. I highly recommend Deepa anyone looking to make positive changes in their health. Deepa's expertise and compassionate approach truly stand out.

Deepa is the BEST! Encouraging, supportive, understanding, very interactive and available. Sooo knowledgeable, helpful, caring!! Love her you tube cooking videos!

Finding Deepa is like a breath of fresh air, after my long journey of searching for a Dietician who can make suggestions on how to eat after my heart attack. Many give you vague suggestions, are difficult to book appointments or tell you to eat more olive oil! Deepa’s low-fat plant-based diet and helpful suggestions helped me to lose weight (after being stuck for over ten years), drop my cholesterol from 196 to 107, and stop my chest pains. Not only do I feel better and take less med’s, I also look much slimmer and healthier. I didn’t think I could lose the weight and feel this good post-menopause. However, Deepa gives you the tools you need to reach good health at any age. She teaches you about diet and helps clients by showing recipes, techniques to keep good food available, behavioral habits to break, cooking demonstrations and a support group that meets once a month. She is knowledgeable, willing to make suggestions and a leader in this industry. Are you ready to be healthy?

I have been following Deepa for over 4 years now. She guided me about my appetite. I tried to follow the best I could and I have lost 22 pounds in total. My A1C has reduced from 6.7 to 5.9 in last 6 months. I feel better, it is a life changing experience, people are complimenting me about my appearance and quality of skin. My digestion has improved. My thyroid dosage has reduced significantly. I feel stronger and more energetic. I feel great, thanks to Deepa and also Lou Ann. Lou Ann helped me with great exercising techniques and currently under her guidance too for further improvement.

I've been working with Deepa for almost a year now and an incredibly thankful for her help and support. The journey has been enlightening. Deepa is direct, informative, supportive and very educated in understanding individualized needs and making recommendations. Responsibility for our own health + a learning mindset = Opportunities for better outcomes Not only has this process been extremely helpful for my health but as my family has embraced the whole food plant based diet they have also seen positive results as well.

I was referred to Deepa and DuPage Dieticians over 6 months ago. I was having all kinds of stomach issues and had been through every GI test you could have over the course of a couple years. Basically ending up being told I had SIBO, Fatty Liver and IBS. While a big change at first, the diet (more of a lifestyle change) that Deepa constructed for me has given me some much needed relief. Six months later my symptoms are not as severe and I have lost 40 pounds as a side benefit. Waiting to be tested for SIBO again, but no more Fatty Liver and recent bloodwork shows excellent, better than average levels in cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, etc. This was a lifestyle change worth making. Thank you Deepa and DuPage Dieticians.

I worked with Deepa on lowering my cholesterol. She provided a lot of useful information and support. I have adopted a no fat whole foods plant based diet and have had a significant weight loss as well as an improvement in my cholesterol levels. I highly recommend working with her and her exercise focused partner!

Amazing!!! I have never felt so good. I have had intestinal issues my entire life until I started seeing Deepa. She is calm, caring, and supports you throughout the process.

Tried to schedule appointment was told long wait times and correspondence was encourage via text - no times provided in the meanwhile was asked to complete a lot of personal information online without assurance of security of my data. In the meanwhile encouraged to purchase extraneous programs. Not sure if I was being scammed. Buyer beware

Her recommendation don’t seem to have much to back it mostly just her opinion

I consulted Deepa for weight loss and general health issues. She was very thorough and informative about how the food we eat impacts our health and made me a personlized meal plan based on my dietary preferences.

Deepa is patient, knowledgeable, a great listener and above all SUPPORTIVE! Her positivity is refreshing and uplifting. I am beginning to change my lifestyle for the better. I cannot thank Deepa enough for leading me on this journey.

My wife and I reached needed to establish a healthy diet that fit into our busy schedules, and to also help find the right diet for my wife during her pregnancy. Deepa was extremely friendly and provided guidance on how we should be appropriately building our diet, and made herself available outside of appt times in case we needed some extra guidance. Overall, we felt it was a great experience and are happy we took the step.
