My Story

I am the owner and lead Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) of Amanda Wagner Nutrition PLLC and a running coach at Filla Endurance, LLC. I am living the city life (Chicago) with my husband + cat Bria (we adopted her in April 2020). My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We got engaged at the Chicago Marathon in October 2016 (he ran and I spectated).

Some of my passions include running, fitness, reading, and healthy living. Black beans are my favorite food (seriously!) and why I have a bean in my logo! I also like coffee, tea, dark chocolate, candy canes, concerts, reading + reviewing books, crafts, games, streaming my favorite shows, and long walks on the Chicago lakefront (in addition to runs there).

Professional Bio

I am a former DI cross country runner who graduated in spring 2014 with a BA in Biology, a Master’s in Education in spring 2016, a post-baccalaureate certificate in Nutrition in spring 2020, and I graduated from my dietetic internship with Be Well Solutions in June 2021. I officially become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in December 2022. I went on to became a UESCA Certified Running Coach in December 2023. My previous career was a high school science teacher has influenced me greatly in my current practice as a dietitian!

Registered Dietitian since 2022
Licensed Dietitian in IL, MA, MO, and SC

I can also see clients in the following additional states due to current state licensure laws: AZ, CA (with a referral), CO, MI, and VA

I specialize in sports nutrition, vegetarian, vegan, and plant-forward eating, REDs, and injury recovery nutrition, but I love to help patients of all types!

I am on a mission to show others that you can be successful in athletics and life fueled by plants. As a dietitian, I find it rewarding to help people reach their own wellness goals. You are welcome to work with me if you aren’t plant-based or an athlete. I will never pressure you to go plant-based in session! I draw on my lived experiences as a competitive athlete, plant-based eater, and my professional expertise as a dietitian when helping you.
