Dr. Nikol Margiotta, an Illinois licensed Naprapath, devotes her clinic time at Feely, LTD to developing nutrition and wellness programs for her patients and their families.

She holds a certificate in Functional Diagnostic Medicine, which allows Dr. Margiotta to identify specific metabolic disorders and biochemical imbalances in the body. The root cause of many physical health problems are determined through the analysis of these functional diagnostic tests using scientifically based blood, saliva, urine and stool tests. She loves the challenge of complex cases and once the problem or problems have been identified, Dr. Margiotta develops specific food and nutrition guidelines to restore more vibrant health. To stay current on important advances in the diagnosis and treatment protocols in functional nutritional medicine, she attends industry seminars and studies for nutrition specific certifications. She is a recent graduate of the prestigious Institute of Functional Medicine, an intensive science-based program taught by leading authorities in the nutrition arena.

Dr. Margiotta is a frequent contributor to her professional associations' journal and lectures on nutritional subjects around the city. She loves to teach her patients about healthy eating and recipe selection and has developed a 6 week series on foods and nutrition that includes cooking classes at Sur La Table in downtown Chicago.

Prior to becoming a Naprapath, Dr. Nikol spent 22 years as a marketing executive at Kraft Foods where she introduced a variety of not-so-healthy products.

>She spends her free time reading the latest nutritional literature and health books, cooking gluten-free meals or entertaining friends, but mostly looks forward to taking long walks along the lakefront with her husband Marc and their feisty French bulldog Bunny.
