I don’t just look at symptoms. I look at you.
We review your labs. We connect the dots in your body. We investigate the physical, emotional, and food-related parts of your story.
Sometimes what’s driving your symptoms is physiological—like microbial imbalances in your gut, inflammation triggered by hidden toxins in your environment, or mystery foods provoking those unexplained flare-ups.
Other times it’s emotional: food triggers, trauma, or the stories you’ve been told about your body. We can work with both—and create a customized path just for you.
With Jennie, it’s been the complete opposite.
— Elliana Copeland
You’ve Been Ignored.
Your body has been speaking—loudly.
You’ve been told your labs are normal.
That it’s all in your head.
That this is just part of being a woman.
You’ve been gaslit, belittled, and left without answers.
But you know your body.
You know something’s not right.
And you’re done being dismissed.
These Aren’t Random Symptoms. They’re Signals. Your Body is Asking for Help.
"For I have worked with countless western/eastern doctors and specialists throughout the country, and few have come close to helping and supporting me in the way that Jennie has."

what I help with
"Prior to working with Jennie, I was struggling with extreme bloating, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and persistent hives."
I had been dealing with these symptoms for years, and despite seeing countless doctors at Cedars, UCLA, and other institutions, no one could identify the root of the problem. . . . I felt hopeless. Working with Jennie truly changed my life. Not only did she identify the root cause of my issues, but she also transformed my approach to health, food, and wellness.
"Jennie helped me pinpoint a histamine-related food response that numerous health coaches and functional medicine doctors had overlooked for years."
It was causing all sorts of symptoms from migraines to heart palpitations to difficulty with sleep. Now that I’m addressing it, my health is improving every day.
"Throughout all of our sessions, Jennie pushed me to go deeper and helped me to see myself with a precision and clarity that I never had before."
Now . . . I can confidently say I have done what felt impossible: I now have a true relationship with my body where I am able to listen to its needs and cues and respond with love and care.

Before I became a nutritionist, I had to heal my own relationship with food.
It started in high school. One offhand comment in ballet class after I lost weight from the stomach flu—and suddenly I was counting calories, cutting out fat, and obsessing over every pound.
I thought I had an “appetite problem.” But what I really had was total disconnection—from my hunger cues, from my body, from myself.
That disconnection followed me for years—even after becoming a successful intellectual property lawyer.
From the outside, I seemed like I had it all together. But on the inside, I was struggling—either starving myself or stuffing down my feelings with food.
Eventually, I reached a point where I knew something had to change.
It took time—and a lot of unlearning—but eventually I made peace with food.
I learned how to listen to my body.
And I reversed my thinking on food too.
Instead of focusing only on how a particular food might impact my weight, I started paying attention to how different foods actually felt in my body.
Some left me tired, puffy, and inflamed. Others gave me energy and made me feel amazing.
The more I ate in a way that truly supported me, the more effortless my relationship with food became.
Healing my relationship with food didn’t just change how I ate—it changed what I wanted for my life and set me on a new path.
I realized my true calling was to help others facing the same struggles I had overcome. So I left law behind to create a career that felt far more meaningful—one that truly aligned with the person I had become.
Now as an integrative clinical nutritionist, I bring the same critical thinking I honed as a lawyer into my clinical practice—connecting dots, digging deep into complex cases, and applying an investigative mindset to decode what your symptoms are trying to say.
Using a functional medicine approach, I help you investigate the why behind your symptoms—and create strategies designed to support your body in doing what it’s meant to do: thrive.
But I don’t just address the physical side of your symptoms—I support you in shifting the emotional patterns, beliefs, and coping strategies that shape your relationship with food and body.
For most of my life, I was the healthy one. Until one day I wasn’t.
When my own health started unraveling, it took more than six months to find the cause. My symptoms didn’t make sense—and as new ones kept showing up, they seemed increasingly bizarre and totally unrelated.
Eventually, I found the answers—in my case, the culprit was hidden toxins in my environment.
That chapter taught me something no course or training ever could: What it feels like to be blindsided by symptoms—and to know something is wrong, but have no real answers.
That experience didn’t just deepen my empathy—
It lit a fire in me to help others who’ve been gaslit, dismissed and left in the dark.
And that’s what drives me—to dig where others don’t, and to be the person who finally makes you feel seen—and supported.
"Naturopath after naturopath, I haven’t found anyone with as much knowledge of the gut as Jennie."
She has been the one practitioner who feels like her knowledge matches her level of care.
"I can't thank Jennie enough for the special, excellent care she has provided to my son and I and the unique gift she is to us."
For me, I struggled for years with GI issues. . . . Jennie looked at my condition from a different lens than what doctors do. . . . Then when my son started having GI issues and food intolerances, we turned to Jennie, who was the only one to figure out what was wrong with him . . . ."
"Before I started working with Jennie, I was in a considerable amount of pain and I felt hungry most of the time."
Jennie not only helped me figure out which foods were causing the pain she also helped me find healthy foods that I enjoy eating. I'm now nearly pain-free.
