About

Hello and welcome! I’m Jenny, a passionate Functional Nutritionist and Gut Health Dietitian dedicated to transforming lives through the power of functional and integrative nutrition. As a Certified LEAP Therapist with a deep-rooted love for the science behind food and nutrition, I specialize in MRT food sensitivity testing, elimination diets, and mindful eating practices. 

Journey to Functional Nutrition

My journey into nutrition was fueled by a lifelong fascination with how our dietary choices impact our physical and mental well-being. My academic path led me to obtain a Master’s degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Colorado State University and a dietetic internship through the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. Today, as a Functional Dietitian based in Black Hills, SD, I am committed to helping individuals navigate their health challenges with personalized nutrition coaching.

Battling Personal Health Challenges: The Leap to a Certified LEAP-MRT Therapist

My personal battle with pain, skin, and gastrointestinal issues throughout childhood and adulthood propelled me to become a Certified LEAP-MRT Therapist. Understanding the frustration of unresolved health issues, I utilize the MRT (Mediator Release Test) LEAP test and LEAP food sensitivity testing to uncover my own food sensitivities guiding myself towards improved immune and gut health.

The Role of Mindful Eating in Functional Nutrition

Believing in a holistic approach to health, I integrate functional nutrition with mindful eating to address both the physical and emotional aspects of eating. This synergy aims to not only restore your gut health but also mend your relationship with food and your body, paving the way for sustainable health improvements.

Why Choose a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist?

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I uphold the highest standards of nutrition practice. Licensed in South Dakota, my continuous learning and advanced training in functional nutrition and food sensitivity treatment empower me to offer evidence-based and personalized nutrition advice. Whether you’re seeking guidance on the LEAP diet, exploring nutrition blogs for inspiration, or interested in MRT test LEAP methodologies, you’re in the right place. Note: My practice is 100% virtual.
