Work with your body, not against it.

Root cause - Rediscovered
I am one of only four people in Missouri, board certified through the prestigious National Association of Nutrition Professionals.
I am a practicing Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified member of the Nutritional Therapy Association, and a 2010 graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. My education in nutrition began with the American Fitness Professionals and Associates in 2008. I am also board certified through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
My spark first came from being a self-taught, home-chef and gardener, wanting to apply these interests through the lens of health. Personal interests have led me to study all of the major dietary theories with concentrations in Ayurvedic traditions, Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbalism. I draw on over a decade of multifaceted education.
What do I mean by root cause, rediscovered? Those who work with me will find out. I don’t know anyone else in the Midwest using an approach like the one that now leads my practice. Here’s a hint. Since I don’t practice medicine, it has nothing to do with an allopathic, western approach to health. It’s not energy work or magical thinking either. It’s simply applying a different paradigm to health that actually makes sense.
We have a lot of evidence based information out there that can answer the most mysterious questions about healing. If you think you don’t have a better choice than what is in the mainstream, think again. There is a functional understanding to health and wellbeing that will shift you out of fear and into freedom. No lab work required.
What I can share paired with your preferences, co-creates real changes that are sustainable. What we can sustain comfortably will be the foundation to heal, to thrive, and where we find our own personal formula for balance. I am not your coach. I am a food educator, nutrition strategist, and partner in health here to guide you on your healing journey. Let’s talk about it.
You don’t need more supplements or another restrictive diet. Real health comes to us from real food and proactive knowledge. It’s time we all reconnect with what is real and understand how food and our environment can work for us, not against us.
Who do I work with?
Those who are proactive and ready to break up with a paradigm to health that is not serving them. Health events are often the catalyst for modifying lifestyle. Because of this, I work with a lot of women and men learning to live with a disease.
What I see the most in my practice are people in need of digestive support and better strategies for blood sugar management. People find me when they are ready to explore a more natural mindset or when they are ready to address damaging food relationships but aren’t sure how to start.
one-on-one counseling
consulting, discovery, motivation
food education
how to, traditional methods, sustainability
supplement education
prioritization, industry integrity, label reading
workshops
public speaking, webinars, seminars
I believe food is often the best tool to neutralize the daily threat of lifestyle disease. I teach my clients how to make small dietary changes that stack up as big gains over time.
"‘Jessica is a great teacher, fun to work with, and understands that true change comes slowly. She teaches that you have to find what works for you. I would recommend this program to everyone. It was fun. I learned a lot and will continue to learn and grow with the information Jessica provided.”
