Dennie Byam, Esq., RDN

Meet Dennie B., The Lawyering Dietitian

Hello!

I’m Dennie, known as The Lawyering Dietitian, one of the nation’s few professionals dually credentialed as both an Attorney and a Registered Dietitian. In addition to my legal and nutritional expertise, I am a certified Group Fitness Instructor through the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), a Certified Personal Trainer, and a Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

I graduated as Valedictorian from Clark Atlanta University in 2010 and earned my Juris Doctor from Northwestern University School of Law in 2014. Subsequently, I was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 2014, followed by the New York and New Jersey Bars in 2015. My legal career has equipped me with a profound understanding of regulatory frameworks and advocacy.

Driven by a passion for nutrition and wellness, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics, Foods, and Nutrition, completing it in 2022. During my dietetic internship, I leveraged my legal background to focus on nutrition-related policy and advocacy, including lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill.

This unique combination of legal acumen, nutritional expertise, and fitness certifications enables me to offer a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, emphasizing evidence-based dietary guidance, informed advocacy, and practical fitness strategies.

I’m still working on setting up my website, so please check back soon for updates!
