Short collection of highlights from the work
Dr. Jenna Bell has done for TV, print, radio, and online.

Eat Right Around Chicago

Dr. Bell is dedicated to eating her way around the the city of Chicago and still fit in her jeans. She refuses to miss out on the offerings of Chicago's established and up-and-coming Chefs, neighborhood gems, foodie-hot spots, late night diners and fine dining temptations.

Armed with her appetite and nutrition credentials, Jenna's mission is to eat RIGHT around Chicago.

"I have made it my mission to eat my way around the city, but I'm going to EAT RIGHT around each and every neighborhood. I refuse to starve my taste buds, deconstruct a chef's creation to save waist and I won't miss a local hot spot. Simultaneously, I will maintain my weight, make nutritious choices and keep my nutrient dense diet."


 

"My aim is to give easy to digest diet tips, nutrition insights and ideas to dine right at any eating establishment. I don't believe in compromising taste to eat right; good food and a healthy body are not mutually exclusive. I rate restaurants based on their "yummy-ness" as well as their healthiness."
