Approach to care
Jennifer approaches nutrition therapy with a personalized approach for each person. What works for one, might not work for the next. Age, metabolism, lifestyle are some of the many factors that make an individual approach ideal.
Your first session with Jennifer
We will spend the first session getting to know each other. We will review your goals, medical history, any recent lab work, lifestyle factors, and typical eating patterns. Please feel free to upload a copy of your recent labs to the portal for me to review during your appointment.
