Specialties

Lara Field, registered dietitian, is the owner/​founder of FEED — Forming Early Eating Decisions, a nutrition counseling practice in Chicago. Specializing in pediatric nutrition and digestive diseases such as celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, Lara not only utilizes creative ways to plan a healthful menu, but also teaches parents techniques that will leave a lasting healthy impression on the home.

With over a decade of experience in clinical practice at some of the top ranked Children’s hospitals, Lara has always had a passion for kids’ nutrition. She has a passion for public speaking and frequently leads talks on topics including infant feeding, food allergies/​celiac disease, and healthy eating on the run.

Lara is board certified as a specialist in pediatric nutrition (CSP) and has completed additional Food Allergy & Intolerance management training. She is interviewed frequently from various local and nationwide television and print media and quoted in publications on her perspective on everything from infant feeding practices to celiac disease and the gluten-​free diet.

Rather than meeting at an office, FEED features IN-​HOME nutritional counseling. These home visits enable kids and families to be comfortable in their own surroundings, and also enable Lara to provide suggestions on the products that are already in your refrigerator! She offers a no-​judgement approach to healthy living focusing on incorporating real food into the lives of busy families.
