This is not just about solving a problem or a health issue and moving on. I was looking for someone to help me figure out how to think about my body, eating, and, for lack of a better phrase, get my body and mind in peak operating mode. I came looking for a mentor about nutrition. Lucy has opened my eyes to different views on nutrition, holistic medicine and health, philosophy, lifestyle, ... I could go on and on. She also has a vast network of colleagues who have been helpful to me in other ways. My life has been permanently changed for the better. Yes, I've lost 20 pounds and have a much richer understanding of the effects of different foods on my body, but I also have the peace of mind and mental clarity I was seeking. If you're looking for someone to help you start an exploration of what works for you -- body, mind, and soul, -- I would recommend Lucy and her loving spirit a million times over.

If you're thinking about scheduling a consultation with Jen... just do it!…read more After meeting with several different dietitians over the years, I was truly at my wit's end. I kept logging every meal and reporting back, only to be told to eat fewer carbs and move more. I'd feel guilty when I didn't have the "perfect" week. This approach never lasted beyond my appointments, and I'd eventually stop seeing them altogether. I even met with an endocrinologist and did several lab tests. I was convinced that something was wrong with me -- that I was broken. I considered myself someone who knew exactly what to do. By this point, I had a decent understanding of what to eat (and not to eat), how much, and so on. Between years of meeting with doctors and the endless information online about weight loss -- calorie counting, macros, weight-lifting, and trends like intermittent fasting or low-carb diets -- I thought I had it all figured out. But in June, I was the heaviest I'd ever been, with no signs of change, despite my vigilance at home. And truthfully, living that way wasn't realistic... at all. I was convinced that I had all the information in front of me, but maybe it just wasn't meant to happen for me. And then, somehow, with Jen, it all finally clicked. It turns out this was exactly what I needed. I admit I wasn't entirely sold on the holistic approach at first, but it was clearly time to try something different. After my initial consultation with Jen, I was ready to start right away. At first, I didn't understand why Jen would ask about what's going on in my life -- my routine, mood, career, and relationships. But these are the things that can influence our decisions around food. So often, we're the ones standing in our own way. At least, that was the case for me. Jen's expertise is invaluable -- her knowledge about the science behind food, the practicality of preparing meals, how to indulge without guilt, and the psychology behind our habits. Above all, she teaches you how to still enjoy your life. That's what makes this sustainable. She helps you implement changes that last, not just for the duration of the program. I also never felt pressured to eat perfectly or follow all of her recommendations between sessions. Everything she suggests is genuinely for your own benefit! At the start of our program in June, I set a goal to lose 20 pounds in six months, stop tracking my meals, and heal my relationship with food -- fully recognizing that it might not happen, because it never had before. And that is exactly what I did. Finally. Thank you, Jen, for everything!

Jen was a great addition to my holistic healing (which also included a doctor and acupuncturist) and helped me return to a healthy mindset around food. Since I came to her already knowing quite a bit about nutrition and science, I did feel sometimes like she was giving me the same program as everyone else vs customizing to my knowledge level and specific needs. Either way, the 3-month program was a great decision. I learned a lot about my body and what it needs to thrive. She helped me step away from the idea of trying to be "perfect" at every meal and took emotional and psychological health into consideration as well. Highlights: the post-meeting email followups, great book recommendations, she is a good listener and very attentive to details. Could be improved: a bit more individualization, digital copies of the worksheets/information sheets vs printing them out (more eco-friendly!).
