I specialize in performance nutrition for athletes, fertility/pregnancy/postpartum nutrition, weight management, autoimmune diseases, PCOS, diabetes, digestive issues, and general preventative wellness.
Do you feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? There’s a flood of misinformation when it comes to health and wellness — and the truth is, nutrition is not one size fits all. That’s because real, lasting change doesn’t come from a one-time diet or quick fix. It comes from addressing the root causes of imbalance in your body and your life. I take a holistic, root-cause approach to wellness by looking at the whole person, not just the symptoms. Together, we explore how your nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, environment, and mindset are interconnected — and how they impact your ability to heal and thrive.

Hi there! I'm Jen, a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping others reclaim the joy in food through Intuitive Eating. Too many of us, particularly women, have been ambushed with messaging about "ideal" body types, hacks to speed metabolism, and tips for weight loss. This messaging can be even more prevalent for people with conditions like PCOS, as doctors dispense the ever-present advice to "just lose weight" in order to manage symptoms. My goal is to strip away the stigma about weight and to teach you how to have fun with food again!

Diabetes Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a metabolic condition characterized by excessively high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin. Insulin is a hormone essential for reducing blood sugar by enabling cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin due to an inflammatory process affecting insulin-producing cells. In contrast, type 2 diabetes is an acquired condition resulting from a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors, such as obesity and physical inactivity. In type 2 diabetes, the body has an impaired response to insulin, known as "insulin resistance." Even if the pancreas produces a normal amount of insulin, the body stops responding effectively to the hormone, resulting in impaired glucose uptake into cells.

Is type 2 diabetes caused by a bad diet?
Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease influenced by both genetic and lifestyle factors. Research has shown that poor diet is a major contributor, particularly the consumption of sugar-rich foods and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to insulin resistance. An unhealthy diet promoting obesity is another risk factor, as excess weight increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. Additional lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption also contribute to the disease's onset. These elements collectively underscore the importance of healthy diet choices in preventing type 2 diabetes.

How does nutrition affect diabetes?
Nutrition plays a vital role in managing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Keeping track of carbohydrate intake is essential for proper insulin dosing and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. To manage blood sugar effectively, many people with diabetes avoid foods that cause spikes in blood sugar, like sugary snacks and refined carbs such as white bread. Instead, they focus on foods that help stabilize blood sugar, like healthy fats and high-fiber options. Portion control and eating meals at regular times are also important for keeping blood sugar levels steady.

How can a dietitian help someone with diabetes?
Dietitians play a crucial role in assisting individuals with diabetes through lifestyle modification strategies and symptom management. Their expertise is particularly valuable for those recently diagnosed or at risk of developing diabetes. Dietitians provide guidance on tracking carbohydrate intake and appropriately dosing insulin, which is essential for effective diabetes management. For individuals with type 2 diabetes, dietitians can help design weight loss plans and recommend specific dietary modifications, such as increasing the intake of plant-based foods, to promote a healthier lifestyle. In addition, dietitians will often work with other medical professionals on a patient's care team to help the patient navigate symptoms and can thus help the patient integrate input from various professional sources in the management of their condition.
