hello!

I'm Jennifer


I didn’t grow up dreaming about a career, I dreamed about being a mom. But years of striving, perfectionism, and pushing myself to exhaustion left my hormones wrecked, my gut inflamed, and my body begging for change. After finding Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and rebuilding my own health through data, nourishment, and balance, I made it my mission to help other women do the same. I now guide women to restore their bodies through holistic lab testing, ancestral nutrition, rest, and sustainable self-care, because a balanced body makes for a balanced babe.

    Jessie and I have been watching Hocus Pocus togeth Jessie and I have been watching Hocus Pocus together in October since 2013 and I love every second of it. 

Today she asked me, “why do you love this movie so much?”

“Cause I get to watch it with you!” I replied.

It wouldn’t be half as much fun without her.

    My week plan is not color coded, even though I cla My week plan is not color coded, even though I claim to be Mega Type A. 

It’s 5:47am tea with God and my Bible study, a DoorDash cart full of meat (because the kids WILL ask why dad didn’t bbq), and a box of crappy cereal for my boys. Mercy.

Here’s the truth, friends: you don’t need a perfect system. You need a few things that don’t move. Mine are faith, family, food, and lifting. Everything else gets a “we’ll see.”

In this episode, I’m joined by Dominika Laureto, a doctor of nursing and regenerative wellness practitioner, to talk about her journey from growing up in Poland to working in emergency medicine and eventually building a practice focused on wellness, aesthetics, and p€p tide therapy.
Dominika shares how her experiences in a busy emergency department led her to question the traditional healthcare system and look for ways to help people beyond treating immediate symptoms. She explains how her experience in aesthetics inspired her to shift toward functional and regenerative wellness, where she could focus on helping people feel better from the inside out.
We also discuss Dominika’s personal experience with p€p tides, including how she used M O T S c and observed changes in her cholesterol levels, her favorite p€p tides for skin health, and how she approaches gut health and inflammation with her clients.
Dominika also shares the blood markers she recommends discussing with a healthcare provider, why individual responses to p€p tides can vary, and her thoughts on the future of regenerative medicine.

    Nothing about this life is perfect. My body, insi Nothing about this life is perfect.

My body, inside and out, still struggles.
Kids, marriage, work, finances, people- life this side of heaven can be beautiful but it’s sure not perfection. 

I have gut flares.
Rage days.
Sick days.

But the fun side of being an FDN for so long is that I’ve built so many micro habits into my life that help balance my mood, energy, weight, hormones, and sleep.

Even the rough days are nothing like they used to be when I wasn’t living an FDN lifestyle. As I teach my clients, stress never goes away but we can build resilience to the stressors by doing 10 little things each day that make life much, much smoother. 

I share them all (and more!) in The Body Edit.

    I used to crash daily in the afternoon. I literall I used to crash daily in the afternoon. I literally almost fell asleep once while I was driving my four kids.

it’s weird to me but steady amounts of energy at the age of 43 is my new normal. Here’s what I do to get there.

Is your energy better or worse in your 40s than it was in your 20s?
    Women in my programs start feeling amazing. Then t Women in my programs start feeling amazing.
Then they ask me if I can work with their young daughters.
And now I say NO. 🙂‍↔️ 

I used to say yes- I love kids! Teenage girls are some of the most fun and complicated and beautiful humans, and I’ve worked with a lot of them. 

I’m just not usually very successful.
(And as a staunch Type A Eldest Daughter, I can’t help wanting to accrue wins!). 🙈

I stopped working with young women because often, they aren’t ready to change. We moms know what’s good for them, but THEY have to want what’s good for them too. 

And a 13 year old doesn’t really have the life experience or processing capacity that a 40 year old woman has. She’s not able to make the same calculated decisions that benefit her long term. 

There are fantastic pediatric nutritionists out there, I just don’t do my best work with kids.

I prefer teaching moms how to model micro habits for their children. Our kids are always watching. 

👯‍♀️If she sees you eating a hearty whole food breakfast outside in the sunshine at 7 am, without a phone, she might want to join. 

👯‍♀️ if you’re leashing up the family dog for an outside stroll instead of racing to the gym again, she might accept your invitation to join. 

👯‍♀️ if she sees you order a steak at a restaurant instead of that stupid tiny salad, she might feel more encouraged to order a ribeye, too.

I don’t work with kids because I’m passionate about equipping mamas to do that. Your kids trust you and listen to you more than you know ♥️
    I know sleeping in a hotel room and eating dinner I know sleeping in a hotel room and eating dinner without working out first might not sound like much, but being able to go on vacation without making my body the project for the entire trip is a pretty big deal for me.

I want to eat out without spending the afternoon figuring out how to make up for it, and I want to wear the two piece I packed even if my stomach doesn’t look exactly how I’d like it to, because I’m already on vacation and I would like to actually enjoy it 😂

The things I do consistently at home come with me, but they don’t need to take over the trip. I still look for protein when I order, eat enough to feel satisfied, and leave room for food I’m excited about, which is why I included an Eating Out Guide in Chapter 5 of The Body Edit.

And being able to settle into a hotel bed and actually sleep is something I appreciate so much after struggling with sleep. My Daily 10 has become part of how I take care of myself and wind down, instead of spending the entire day pushing and then expecting to magically relax at bedtime. On page 13, I talk about morning light and quiet time, walking after dinner, and giving yourself a break from screens and constant stimulation.

I still care about getting stronger and feeling good in my body, but I don’t want to miss the vacation I’m already on while trying to earn the right to enjoy it.

    Maybe your labs coming back normal isn’t actually Maybe your labs coming back normal isn’t actually the end of the conversation.

I see this ALL the time with women in their 40s. They’re exhausted, gaining belly fat, waking up at 3 AM, losing their hair, and being told everything looks fine.

But did anyone check your fasting insulin? Your thyroid antibodies? Your ferritin?

And even if they did, do you know what those numbers mean?

This is exactly why I wrote The Body Edit. ✨ 

I want you to understand what’s happening in your body instead of spending another year guessing.

Inside, we talk about:

⭐️ Page 25: Why adding another supplement or protocol isn’t always the answer.

⭐️ Page 62: How to start investigating what’s really driving your symptoms.

⭐️ Page 87: Why we need to look at the clues instead of jumping to conclusions about cortisol, estrogen, or thyroid.

⭐️ Pages 90–91: Why the weight loss strategies that worked at 30 might not work the same way at 43.

Sometimes your body doesn’t need another intervention. It needs someone to pay attention to what it’s telling you.
