Well, hello there! I’m Jen, and I’m thrilled you’ve found me! I’m passionate about helping women find hope and healing from fatigue and digestive issues through the strength of nutritional and lifestyle changes.
I am a follower of Jesus, wife to my husband of 25 years, and twin mama to a couple of incredible humans. We also have a rescue dog named Tilli who spends a lot of time on her back looking for tummy rubs. I love hiking and spending time outdoors in the mountains of Colorado, spending time with family and friends, and reading about and learning all things nutrition.
My health troubles started over 10 years ago when I began having debilitating fatigue, heartburn, bloating, constipation, worsening sleep, many food sensitivities (eating no more than 15 different foods!), and joint pain.
It was incredibly difficult to get out of bed and complete even a half-day of work. Climbing a flight of steps at home would leave me exhausted.
After being told that my lab work looked “normal”, I turned to functional medicine to look deeper. We found that I had gut permeability, gut infections, bacterial overgrowths, environmental illness, and was manifesting auto-immune disease. My functional medicine practitioner helped me figure out targeted supplements needed for my body at that time. However, my body needed more than just supplements. I delved into learning as much as I could about diet and lifestyle strategies, as well as how to lower the toxic burden on my body and open detox pathways. By the grace of God, I started healing and was eventually able to recover, regain my life again, and flourish.
After I regained my health, I knew I wanted to share what I learned to help and encourage others on their health journey. I decided to deepen my knowledge by becoming certified in Nutritional Therapy through the Nutritional Therapy Association. Following the NTA, I studied Gastrointestinal Healing through Restorative Wellness Solutions and became certified as a Restorative Wellness Practitioner.
