Meet Jennifer
Functional Nutritionist for Gut + Hormone Health
My path to functional nutrition didn't start with a career change. It started with unanswered questions.
Years ago, while living in Italy, I became deeply inspired by the way food was woven into daily life.
Meals were slower. Ingredients were seasonal. People gathered, lingered, and nourished more than their bodies.
That experience planted an early seed: food is meant to support your health, your connection to others, and a deeper relationship with your body.
A decade later, life looked very different.
I was juggling two young kids, a home, and a business. The pace was faster, the demands were heavier, and the digestive and hormonal symptoms that once felt manageable became harder to ignore.
My labs kept coming back "normal," but I knew something was off.
I didn't want another surface-level answer. I wanted to understand what my body was communicating and no one could give me a clear answer.
So I went back to school. First as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and later as a Master Restorative Health Practitioner.
What I learned changed the way I saw symptoms.
Bloating, fatigue, cravings, migraines, mood shifts, hormone changes. None of it is random. It's your body asking for support, a different strategy, or a closer look at what's happening underneath the surface.
Functional lab testing gave me what I'd been missing: objective data. It helped me connect the dots between digestion, blood sugar, hormones, stress, and nutrient status. For the first time, I had a personalized path forward. One that didn't rely on food rules, quick fixes, or more guessing. That shift couldn't have come at a more important time.
Just months later, my daughter received a life-changing diagnosis.
Overnight, I stepped into the role of caregiver, navigating the realities of a chronic condition while still wanting her to thrive fully. The same tools that helped me understand my own body became essential in supporting hers. They gave us clarity, steadiness, and confidence in a season that could have felt overwhelming.
This is why I do this work.
I know what it's like to live with symptoms no one can quite explain. I know the frustration of being told everything looks "normal" when your body is telling a different story. And I know what it feels like to care for everyone else while quietly trying to hold yourself together.
Today, I bring all of it into my practice. Clinical training and lived experience.
You don't always need to do more. You need answers that make sense, a plan that fits your real life, and support that helps you trust your body again.
My Mission
I believe women deserve more than generic nutrition advice & endless guessing.
Through lab-informed functional nutrition, personalized support, and clear guidance, I help women in midlife better understand the patterns contributing to their gut and hormone symptoms so they can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and support.
