Jessica's Bio
It’s not uncommon to feel lost and confused when it comes to food. In fact, it’s frequently the norm. Jess steers away from the diet-mentality and focuses on a food-as-medicine and a “good, better, best” approach to educate and motivate clients to thrive and grow. Using her philosophy and approach, which are rooted in functional medicine, she has guided clients in healing and repairing their gut and addressing food sensitivities, including supporting a gluten free lifestyle; reversing diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure or inflammation; minimizing and managing chronic pain and headaches; and supporting couples in preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum health. She works with her clients to establish an individualized plan to support their specific health and wellness goals for optimal health.
Jess obtained her undergraduate degree in dietetics from Bradley University and completed her dietetic internship through the University of Houston. She was part of the Healthier Tomorrows dietetic team from 2013 through 2015, and rejoined Healthier Tomorrows in 2020 to provide virtual nutrition education and support! She has significant experience working with clients in outpatient settings, and enjoys fostering relationships with clients and providing ongoing support. She continues to enhance her knowledge through weekly webinars, lectures, self-study materials, and personal experiences. Jess also enjoys doing research to find answers to her clients’ nutrition-related questions.
Clients appreciate her non-judgmental, realistic, and upbeat approach.
