Dave Grotto
Senior Nutrition Business Partner
Kellogg Company


Dave’s entrée into the world of nutrition started nearly 30 years ago when he began working in the natural foods business. While owning and operating his own natural food store, Dave attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, graduated with honors, and became a registered dietitian. He completed his Masters in Nutrition and Wellness with a concentration in entrepreneurship from Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois.

Dave pursued a broadcasting career and hosted a live radio show on health and nutrition for 10 years and also hosted a local television show. He served as a media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for six years and generated millions of impressions via print, digital and broadcast media throughout his career.

As a clinician who has provided “doable” solutions for individuals and families using everyday foods, Dave was inspired to write the acclaimed book, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life, which is now featured in 18 languages. His second book, 101 Optimal Life Foods, with a foreword by Montel Williams, debuted January 2010, and his latest book, Best Things You Can Eat, launched January 2013.

Dave now serves as the Senior Nutrition Marketing Manager for both the Frozen Foods and Specialty Channels Divisions of Kellogg’s. He provides nutrition, regulatory and claims guidance for Morningstar Farms®, Gardenburger® and Eggo® brands and for the commercial and non-commercial channels.

Dave lives in Elmhurst Illinois with his wife Sharon; three daughters Chloe, Katie and Madison; and two female cats.
