Dr. Walid Sayyed, MD, is a board-certified family physician providing comprehensive, evidence-based primary care for adults and families in Chicago’s Loop (60606). His philosophy emphasizes prevention, continuity, and long-term wellness through compassionate, personalized care — with both same-day in-office and telehealth appointments available for patient convenience.

Dr. Sayyed is all about helping you feel better by eating better. To him, calories count, but not as much defining the relationship between you, your hunger and what it takes to feel satisfied. Nutrition is always something I’ve been passionate about. I found focusing on specific diets does not work very well. I prefer to help my patients understand how to eat balanced meals and think about foods as a way to nourish themselves, not good versus bad, but just how to be healthy. Since I love fitness, I also enjoy helping my patients learn about weight training, becoming stronger. Gaining lean mass is the best way to reduce glucose (sugar) from the blood and back to your muscles (storage house). As a result your pancreas is not overworked.
