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; supporting thyroid and immune health, reversing diabetes, elevated cholesterol, and high blood pressure; minimizing and managing pain and headaches; and supporting couples in preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum health. She works with her clients to create a highly customized plan to support their specific health and wellness goals for optimal health. In addition, with her emphasis on functional nutrition, she takes into consideration every aspect of each client’s health, diet, and overall lifestyle when providing nutrition recommendations.
Jess is also a Certified Functional Nutrition Informed Professional (CFNIP) and serves as the Functional Nutrition Director at Healthier Tomorrows. Practicing functionally offers individualized food and lifestyle goals that address the root cause of illness and health struggles, rather than just addressing symptoms. As Functional Nutrition Director, Jess advises and clinically supervises the dietitians at Healthier Tomorrows in looking at wellness from a functional perspective and addressing the whole body to support clients in optimizing their 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 she enjoys fostering relationships with clients and providing ongoing support.
Clients appreciate her non-judgmental, realistic, and upbeat approach!
Chrissy is a registered dietitian who is passionate about creating an open, non-judgmental space to support her clients in forming healthy relationships with food. She works alongside her clients to develop a unique eating approach to fit their lifestyles while making progress toward their larger health goals. Chrissy believes that most patterns and habits around food develop earlier in life and can take time to change, and she is dedicated to creating an environment where her clients are empowered to make small changes that, over time, can lead to lasting changes in her clients relationships with food and their bodies.
Chrissy has experience with both adolescent and adult nutrition support, women’s health, glucose management and aging. She particularly enjoys working with adolescents and adults who may identify with neurodivergent patterns, anxiety, ADHD, sensory concerns, and similar tendencies. Having three daughters, she also understands that women of all ages are often faced with information directed at them from many directions that can negatively influence how they feel about their bodies and their self-image. Her goal is to help her clients not only understand how these influences impact their patterns but also how to work through them with a goal of improving self-love and self-appreciation. She also firmly believes that, while a scale can tell us about a person’s relationship with gravity, it does not define a person’s character or self-worth.
Chrissy received her education at Lamar University where she has also previously served as an adjunct professor, on the board of advisors, and a preceptor for the Dietetic Internship program. She is working toward her certification as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist through iaedp and has a large interest in nutrition psychology.
When she isn’t in session, you can find her spending time outside, with her family, reading, or enjoying her newest hobby: floral legos.
