Hi! My name is Jessie, and I love helping clients discover practical ways to eat well, feel healthy, prevent disease, reach goals, and love life! My specialties are medical nutrition therapy for kidney health and diabetes as well as weight loss. My grandfather had both conditions so I can empathize with others with either of these conditions, along with their caretakers/support members. I understand wanting the chocolate cake but avoiding it and other foods out of fear. I understand all the numbers. I understand the ups and downs of battling chronic diseases.
