Her knowledge of metabolic nutrition is unsurpassed in the field, as she is also a certified Metabolic Balance® coach, which is a sophisticated nutrition system based on the client’s blood values and unique health profile.

A passion for nutrition and cancer runs deep for Jen and using the healing power of food with an individualized approach is at the core of her focus. Jen is experienced in several dietary therapies such as the therapeutic ketogenic diet, paleo for autoimmune disorders, and metabolic and hormone balancing plans. Nutrient density and the use of high-quality whole food are the backbone of any of her approaches, and as an approved Nutrition Genome Practitioner she customizes nutrition plans based on clients' unique genetics. Jen’s advice is practical, easy to understand, and manageable. Jen understands there is not a one size fits all nutrition plan for everyone. You are guaranteed to be met where you are and will learn a tremendous amount. Jen is a big proponent of the power of the mind and emotional well-being for health so food won’t be the only topic of conversation!

Jen grew up in the Midwest and found the majestic mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado in her early twenties and made it her home. Jen is an avid mountain biker, trail runner, skier, and mom. Family, friends, and time spent adventuring outdoors are what brings her joy along with bonding with her clients, studying about health, and experimenting in the kitchen. 


Remission Nutrition: How Diet and Lifestyle Can Help Prevent, Complement, or Manage Your Cancer
In this episode, we're talking more about oncology nutrition, so if you missed November's episode with Jess Higgins Kelley, make sure to check that out!


Curious how diet and lifestyle can help prevent, complement, or manage your cancer process? You’ve come to the right place. Dietary therapies have been used in medicine for over 5,000 years and should be a centerpiece in your care plan today. Nutrition and lifestyle modifications have been shown to impact all ten hallmarks of cancer. From decreasing the spread (metastasis) of cancer cells to promoting cancer cell death (apoptosis) to inhibiting growth factors - believe it or not, metabolic nutrition and lifestyle change can be cancer’s fiercest enemy. 

Everyone has a unique genetic make-up and biological history, so the key is discovering YOUR personalized nutrition needs. Remission Nutrition uses various assessments including nutrigenomics and micronutrient testing, and experts in metabolic nutrition help you discover and integrate the most potent nutrients and therapeutic diet to match your bio-individual process. From getting you started with the basics of eating a healthy diet to the Nutrient Dense Ketogenic Diet (NDKD), therapeutic fasting, modified texture diets, tube feeding, digestive rehabilitation (GAPS, Low FODMAP), autoimmune focused dietary strategies (AIP), all plans are customized to the client. No change is too small, and compassionate consultants meet you where you are at, supporting and educating you along the way.​
