What folks are saying about jenn and outside in nutrition
I have a simple roadmap
Jennifer helped me figure out the right foods to alleviate my ongoing health issues. As a working mom and a generally lazy cook, it was important to me that I have a simple road map to follow. Jennifer explained complex nutritional concepts to me in plain English, and created a shopping list and easy-to-follow meal plan that I’ve been able to use again and again to feed myself and my family. She is awesome!

I lost 12 pounds, felt better than I had in years, and conceived after years of IVF
I first saw Jennifer because I was preparing to start IVF a few months later, and wanted to get my weight and nutrition under control. Nutrition and health is a huge part of the preparation phase of IVF, as it plays directly into the quality of your eggs as a female. She took the time to read through all of the information I had been given from my Reproductive Endocrinologist, and then did a thorough questionnaire on her end to assess what was the best approach for us to take. I left my first appointment with a game plan, and started following the plan we had set right away. Within the first 6 weeks of following my lifestyle change, I lost 12 lbs and felt better than I had in years! We found out about 10 weeks into my ‘new normal’ that I was actually pregnant, without IVF, after 2 years of trying to conceive and treatments! I truly believe that the changes Jennifer helped me to make was a huge factor in this miracle, and I am forever grateful!

Her goal-oriented guidance about what to eat helped me achieve small goals that led to larger goals.
I came to Jenn at Outside In Nutrition with some serious nutritional deficits because of an illness and wanted guidance about proven ways to rebuild after what felt like a disaster. Her immediately warm and approachable manner made it easy to talk about emotional topics. Her goal-oriented guidance about what to eat helped me achieve small goals that led to larger goals. And her grounding in science gave me confidence that the supplements she suggested would be the most easily absorbed formulas and combinations. I consulted her about whether
certain supplements were effective or worth the money, and she always had a range of options to suggest. My health has improved, my lab results are almost back in the normal range, and I have a plan for what to do next.

I went on vacation without difficult GI issues
I am so grateful for Jennifer’s knowledge and instruction about the low FODMAP diet. I went on vacation for the first time in years without difficult GI issues!

I felt I had a partner through it all
Jennifer is a true professional. She helped me through a difficult year with my health where diet and nutrition really mattered. I felt I had a partner through it all. She’s so knowledgeable. She makes you feel so comfortable. As my health issues evolved, she quickly adjusted or added guidance. She’s also a joy to work with. I always looked forward to our sessions and felt smarter and more optimistic afterwards!

Practical and easy to integrate advice
I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer for over a year now, and I can honestly say that it has made a tremendously positive impact on my overall health. Jennifer takes the time to truly understand my goals and concerns to craft a nutrition strategy tailored specifically to me while also considering my preferences and dietary restrictions. The advice she gives is not only practical but also easy to integrate into my daily routine. Further, Jennifer has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable discussing habits and challenges.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and results driven nutritionist, I can’t
recommend Jennifer highly enough. I’m grateful for the positive impact she’s had on my health and diet.

Help navigating complex medical diagnoses
I started seeing Jenn after being diagnosed with severe gastroparesis that was not responding to treatment, and I had no idea what else to try. Jenn was incredibly helpful at working with me to establish healthy practices, find specific foods that I could tolerate, supplements to fill in nutritional gaps, etc. She spent time researching my rare genetic disorder and gave specific, concrete suggestions that have been helpful for improving daily life. Even though she is not covered on my insurance and there are other nutritionists who are, I still find it worthwhile to try to see Jenn because she has been more helpful than any other nutritionist I have talked with. Jenn has been a lifesaver – literally in my case!
With Jenn’s help, I went from being malnourished and struggling to get the nutrients that I needed to being much more confident in the choices that I am making and being able to reach out to Jenn with question or concerns and know that I am not alone on this journey.

Confidence in a new celiac diagnosis
I was told by my Endocrinologist and Gastroenterologist I needed to see a dietitian because I had just been diagnosed with celiac disease. I was given a card to see Jennifer and was very happy that I did. She was so professional and sweet. Her office was convenient and parking was free and easy. She was so willing to meet me whenever it would be convenient for my schedule. Jennifer was knowledgable and gave me great information on my gluten free diet. She let me know there was so much more out there to eat than I realized there was. I felt she had such a positive attitude about my celiac diagnosis that it made me feel better about it. Her follow through was great. I can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. I have referred several friends to her already and have told my referring physicians about how good she is. I highly recommend Jennifer.

FAQs
How are the counseling sessions conducted?
Our counseling sessions are conducted online via secure, HIPAA compliant video conferencing platforms, ensuring convenience and accessibility for clients. Phone sessions are available as well.
What commitment is required?
A commitment to behavior change coaching requires regular attendance to sessions, openness to self-reflection and change, and a willingness to actively apply learned strategies in daily life for optimal results. While I am personally against packages and subscriptions, because they are not friendly to the consumer, you get what you put in! For clients who are ready to really dive in and make some big changes, being seen every 2 weeks typically feels like the right amount of support to continue moving forward and reinforcing the changes a client has worked to make, solidifying those changes into habits.
What results can I expect from nutrition counseling?
Again you get what you put in! But that’s an oversimplification. Some people are in a place to make big strides and changes, while others are just thinking about it and weighing their options. This can change on a day to day basis. Often they need more information and to know that what they choose to do is going to have an impact. A lot of times I’ll have clients in this “contemplation” (just thinkin’ bout it!) place for a long time, then something clicks for them and they kinda just flow with making a whole lot of change. It’s really neat. This is called the Stages of Change Model theory and it’s part of how I conceptualize what I do, and how I relate to and motivate my clients, if you wanted a nerdy answer.
How much do sessions cost?
All sessions are 50 minutes and cost $160
How do I book my intake appointment?
Simply reach out with questions, or if you’re ready to book you can book online or by calling or e-mailing me.
What type of clients do you see?
Good question! I outline the types of clients I see in my About Me section and there’s a little more under Nutrition Counseling. Reach out to see if we are a good fit! I often see clients with more rare conditions and I’m willing to research and learn when needed. I love learning!
