Ways to Work with Your True North
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand the immense impact that functional testing can have on identifying underlying imbalances and creating more effective, personalized support strategies.
While functional testing is never required to work with me, it is often recommended as part of your support plan depending on your health history, goals, and symptoms. Whether you're looking for comprehensive 1:1 coaching or targeted lab testing and analysis, my approach is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and long-term results.
1:1 Nutrition Coaching & Consulting
A personalized, data-driven approach to nutrition that helps you optimize your metabolism, digestion, and overall health—without restrictive diets or quick fixes. Whether your goal is sustainable fat loss that supports metabolic health, improved digestion, better energy, or hormonal balance, I help you create a plan that works long-term without extreme dieting or metabolic burnout.
This is my most in-depth and hands-on approach, ideal for those looking for ongoing support, education, and accountability.
✔️ Want customized nutrition guidance tailored to your health history, lifestyle, and goals
✔️ Need accountability and support to stay consistent and see results
✔️ Are struggling with fatigue, digestive issues, blood sugar imbalances, weight changes, or hormone concerns
✔️ Want to lose fat sustainably without wrecking your metabolism or energy levels
✔️ Feel overwhelmed by nutrition information and want a clear, science-backed approach
This coaching is for you if you:
✔️ Comprehensive Intake Consultation – A deep dive into your health history, nutrition habits, metabolism, and goals
✔️ Ongoing 1:1 Coaching Sessions – In-person or remote check-ins for education, accountability, and plan adjustments
✔️ Between-Session Support – Monday-Friday email access for guidance and questions
✔️ Exclusive Access to My Educational Platform – A private resource hub with lessons, tools, and materials to deepen your understanding of nutrition, metabolism, digestion, and lifestyle strategies
✔️ Optional Functional Testing – HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), GI-MAP, and blood work reviews for deeper insights into your health
what's included
Want to uncover the root cause of fatigue, digestive struggles, hormone imbalances, or inflammation? My functional lab testing options provide a deeper understanding of your health and help us create a targeted plan to get you feeling your best.
Functional Testing & Lab Reviews
I offer functional testing as part of my 1:1 coaching, but I also provide shorter-term packages for those who want testing + recommendations without ongoing coaching.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
A non-invasive test that provides a detailed look at your mineral levels and heavy metal exposure over the last 3-4 months. Unlike blood work, which only shows what’s circulating in your system at the moment, HTMA reflects how your body is using minerals inside the cells, giving us insight into your long-term mineral status and stress patterns.
✔ Anyone whose blood work has come back "normal" but still doesn’t feel well
✔ Those experiencing fatigue, brain fog, sluggish metabolism, bloating, or thyroid issues
✔ Individuals with high stress, burnout, or adrenal dysfunction
✔ Those dealing with chronic inflammation, poor detoxification, or nutrient absorption issues
who benefits from htma?
✔ Regulate Metabolism & Thyroid Function – Minerals impact thyroid health, energy production, and nutrient absorption
✔ Support Stress & Adrenal Function – Chronic stress depletes key minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium
✔ Detect Heavy Metal Toxicity – Exposure to mercury, aluminum, and lead can impair metabolism, brain function, and digestion
✔ Optimize Digestion & Detoxification – Minerals impact stomach acid production, bile flow, and liver detox pathways
why test minerals?
"Jen really knows her stuff and is amazing at breaking complex nutrition information down into layman’s terms! She is truly invested and cares about helping guide people on their nutrition journey. I was one who had never paid any attention to nutrition and she has personalized a plan for me that isn’t too intimidating and is doable!"

GI-MAP Stool Testing
✔️ Pathogenic Bacteria & Parasites – Identifies harmful microbes that may be driving bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
✔️ Fungal Overgrowths (Candida, Yeast, Mold Exposure) – Addresses brain fog, sugar cravings, skin issues, and fatigue
✔️ H. Pylori Infection & Antibiotic Resistance Genes – Determines if H. pylori is present and which antibiotics it is resistant to for more effective treatment
✔️ Gut Inflammation & Immune Function – Detects intestinal permeability (leaky gut), immune dysfunction, and gut-brain connection issues
✔️ Pancreatic Function & Digestive Enzyme Levels – Shows indicators of low stomach acid and maldigestion affecting nutrient absorption
what gi-map can reveal:
✔️ Anyone dealing with chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or food sensitivities
✔️ Those experiencing skin issues like acne, eczema, or psoriasis
✔️ Individuals with IBS, IBD, or autoimmune conditions (70-80% of our immune system is housed in the gut!)
✔️ People struggling with brain fog, mood swings, or chronic fatigue
who benefits from gi-map testing?
✔️ At-home GI-MAP stool test kit
✔️ In-depth microbiome, pathogen, and digestive function analysis
✔️ Personalized report with step-by-step recommendations
✔️ Full results review session with me to go over your results and walk through your personalized support plan.
✔️ Follow-up sessions available for continued guidance, adjustments, and long-term success

Functional Blood Work Reviews
A functional blood work review provides a deeper analysis of your markers using tighter, optimal health ranges—not just broad standard lab ranges. Instead of focusing on whether a marker is "in range," we assess how your lab values connect to energy, metabolism, hormone balance, inflammation, and nutrient status.
This service is an add-on to 1:1 nutrition coaching or other functional testing.
“Working with Jen completely changed my relationship with food, exercise and alcohol. It gave me the knowledge to make decisions that worked best with my lifestyle. I work a busy job with lots of travel and with Jen I felt I had not only someone to hold me accountable to my goals but also someone to help guide me and proactively plan for the times where it’s harder to hit your goals. She is kind, empathetic but will be real with you which I love. If you want to change your relationship with food and hit goals you never thought possible, hire Jen. Do it now!”
