About Jennifer

I'm Jennifer Hertig, and I've been a Registered Dietitian since 2009. My focus and career has been in Long-term and Short-term care. This path has allowed me to experience many different types of people and backgrounds and utilize my knowledge in Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). I'm experienced in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, palliative care, renal disease (including dialysis), cerebral vascular disease, bariatrics (pre and post surgery) as well as alternate routes of nutrition and hydration (such as tube feedings). I want to be able to reach more people to help improve and attain nutritional goals and create a sense of empowerment to make the changes for the better.

Approach to care

Balance is essential, as is allowing yourself grace when necessary. Making small changes over time leads to significant overall achievements and facilitates the transition to a healthier lifestyle. I believe that when the client takes an active role in accountability of their actions, goals and progress throughout their health journey, with continual guidance and support to stay motivated, will lead to the client reaching their health and wellness goals.

Your first session with Jennifer

We will spend some time getting to know each other, with some background information and gathering additional details. Then we will talk about what your concerns are and goals for yourself. We will review some diet education materials together and set up some goals to start!
