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.

    Belly fat after 40 is rarely about eating too much Belly fat after 40 is rarely about eating too much. There’s a million things that influence where your body stores fat, and most women have no idea how connected they all are. Shall we break it down? ⬇️ 

1️⃣ Sleep: Poor sleep increases hunger hormones, reduces insulin sensitivity, and can increase visceral fat storage around your organs.
2️⃣ Blood sugar and insulin: Insulin resistance makes it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar and is closely linked to more belly fat.
3️⃣ Estrogen: As estrogen tanks during perimenopause, fat storage shifts from your hips and thighs toward your belly.
4️⃣ Cortisol: Chronic stress can disrupt sleep, increase cravings, and contribute to abdominal fat accumulation.
5️⃣ Muscle mass: Less muscle means less glucose being used for energy and a lower metabolic rate, making fat gain easier.
6️⃣ Thyroid: Low thyroid function slows your resting metabolism, reducing how many calories your body burns throughout the day.
7️⃣ Gut health: Your gut bacteria influence inflammation and metabolic health, while constipation and bloating can make your belly appear larger. Anyone? Bueller!?
8️⃣ Lifestyle: Too much sitting, not enough protein, limited strength training, and regular alcohol consumption can all contribute to belly fat.

And here’s why I spend so much time investigating labs, hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle with my clients. Because you can have several of these things happening at once, and simply eating less isn’t going to address all of them.

Your belly fat might be the thing bothering you the most, but it isn’t the whole story.

⭐️ Comment EDIT if you’re ready to look at the bigger picture.
    Life gets better when you get answers. I can’t ev Life gets better when you get answers.

I can’t even tell you the number of women who sit in wonder as we review their DUTCH test. They tell me “I KNEW something was going on, but no one could tell me what it was.”

Often times, we find the opposite of what the internet told them was wrong. 

⭐️ tanked cortisol instead of high cortisol 
⭐️ super low estrogen instead of estrogen dominance 
⭐️ an inverted cortisol curve that’s waking them up at 3 am

The only way to know is to test. I’ve run hundreds and hundreds of the DUTCH test on women and I’ve got tons of tricks to help women rebalance their hormones, naturally.

⭐️ comment “DUTCH”.

⭐️ I’m also giving away a $397 FREE GIFT to anyone who purchases the book, reads it, and leaves an Amazon review. 

📕 comment “PROMISE”
    FDN-P for 11 years now, and my work hours consist FDN-P for 11 years now, and my work hours consist of analyzing DUTCH tests, GI Maps, food sensitivity tests, blood work, and mineral analyses. I get to meet with amazing clients from all over the world via my virtual practice, and I’m a huge data nerd.

But the whole of me is all of the other stuff here.

I totally get trying to be a wife, raise a family, manage a household, have relationships with parents and nieces and nephews and sisters, and still try to lock in midlife health. 

Functional lab testing and personalized protocols are my work jam, but I’m still a mama first. 

⭐️ If you want to work with someone who gets you, comment “LABS”.
    I don’t care if you’re on the shotte or not. Bei I don’t care if you’re on the shotte or not. 

Being in your 40s takes a LOT of energy. 
Do you know what food is? It’s energy!

It takes energy to grow hair.
Have a good clean period.
Not bitch out your poor husband.
Have an unbloated tummy. 
Work out.
Sleep.
Have…energy. 

Mercy. The weird 💩 I see women do to fit into society’s standard of beautiful. I languish, friends. 

I’m not going to lie. We do have a targeted cut in my Easy Perimenopause program. 

BUT IT’S 6 WEEKS.
ONLY.

After that, we’re reverse d*eting to get back to baseline- carefully, methodically- so my girls don’t have to go on another stupid d*et in 3 months. 

I’m intentional, so I don’t even introduce the cut until we’ve eaten at or above maintenance for a good 6 weeks.

3 meals.
Snacks.
Treats.
Plenty of calories.

Lo and behold.
During this time, they start sleeping, stop raging, start having energy, and stop losing hair. 

Then and ONLY then, do we introduce 🤌🏼 Le Cut. 
And if their labs show they’re not ready?
We hold.

I’m not interested in getting my clients short term results. Um hey- that’s how I earned all of those 5 ⭐️ Google reviews. The scale might change (it does!) but their lifestyle and habits change too, and that means results stuck around for the long haul.

If my clients try to d*et while they’re already depleted, they know the to expect a good whuppin’ from me, along with lots of love and support and food and carbs and empathy, for I have been there, friends. 

No trophies given for being weak but skinny. Everyone around you will just start resenting you more and more. Ask me how I know. 

Let’s do it right.
1️⃣ Labs
2️⃣ Nourish
3️⃣ Release🙌🏼

This is how I run my #FDN practice, and I’ve gotten really good at it. After 11 years doing this, I don’t just wish I could help. 

I KNOW I can help.

⭐️ DM me so we can chat about your hormones.

Meantime enjoy my very nearly aesthetic video of fully caffeinated coffee I am drinking. 

I teach my clients how to micro dose nervous system balancing  practices like breath work, sunshine snacks, epsom salt baths, eating enough carbs, and more in The Body Edit. 

You don’t have to figure out how to balance your adrenals on your own- I’ve done it for you.

⭐️ comment “EDIT”.
    In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Tina In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Tina Haupert, the woman behind @carrotsncake , an FDN practitioner, longtime health and fitness blogger, and experienced p@p tide self-experimenter. Tina has been on a long health journey with ulcerative colitis, and her search for better health has led her to explore a wide range of p@p tides for healing, inflammation, pain, metabolism, body composition, and overall health.
Tina and I talk about the good, the bad, and the unexpected parts of using p@p tides. She shares some of her biggest p@p tide wins, as well as the experiences that did not go as planned, including some pretty intense reactions to M O T S c, Thymosin Alpha 1, and FOX O4 DRI. We also talk about the p@p tides that have worked really well for her, including ARA 290 for nerve pain, G L P 1s for appetite control and food noise, and Tesa + KPV for body composition and inflammation. Most importantly, this episode is about looking at p@p tides as another tool in the toolbox rather than a magic solution. Your experience may be completely different from someone else’s, which is why bio-individuality, proper guidance, and understanding the bigger picture all matter.

In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why B P C 1 5 7 + T B 5 0 0 was Tina’s “gateway p@p tide”
✅ Her experience with M O T S c and why M O T S c may not be a good fit for everyone
✅ Her experience with a high dose of Thymosin Alpha-1 and the importance of starting low and slow
✅ FOXO 4-DRI and the theory behind targeting senescent “zombie” cells
✅ Her experience using ARA 29 0 for severe nerve pain and how it helped her go from barely functioning to feeling much better

Comment “PODCAST” and I’ll send it right over!
    I’m not going to pretend I have it all together. L I’m not going to pretend I have it all together. Life in this world is messy and hard, but after 11 years coaching midlife women through hormone chaos, I’ve got a cheat sheet of things that actually work to make us feel better. 

This is what does it for me and my clients.
