Including PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, perimenopause, and hormonal imbalances such as PMS, PMDD, and irregular cycles
Over-active / under-active thyroid issues, have the classic signs of a sluggish thyroid but labs say normal? Let's talk.
IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux are not normal. We often see these issues go hand in hand with chronic skin conditions like acne + eczema.
You likely have been struggling with these symptoms for quite some time now, and you haven’t found a practitioner that truly understands your body from the inside out to support long term healing
Working with you fixed a million things I was struggling with! I have no more headaches, better sleep, higher energy throughout the day etc. I would also like to note I started seeing the most changes physically after 6 months of work. This also happened to be when I got pregnant and that did NOT stop the progress. I feel better now while expecting a baby than I have in a long time!!
There has been so much improvement. I came not having a clue how to fix all these things. I had worked with a naturopath doctor, traditional doctor, a dietician, and holistic nutritionist. Hardly anything changed or improved. From the start I could tell a difference. Some wins: depression is gone, brain fog is gone, afternoon slump is gone, insulin resistance is gone, sleeping through the night, lost 20 lbs, PMS is gone!
My goal was to get answers that showed something other than being told “your bloodwork is normal." I wanted to find the root cause of joint pain in my knees, fix my stomach pain / stomach issues, and clear my skin. My joint pain has dramatically decreased, my digestion is so much better, my acne has 100% cleared, I've learned how to nourish my body! I never thought this would happen!

This is a great question and is dependent on how depleted and imbalanced your body is when you start. Some experience major improvements in metabolic markers quickly, while for others the process takes longer. Remember that you didn't get to where you are overnight, we can't expect our body to recover from things like chronic stress, under-eating, gut infections, hormone imbalances-- overnight. Remember that we do not heal you. You are ultimately responsible for your healing progress. We guide you, counsel you, provide you with expert advice, protocols, wisdom but it is your responsibility to listen and put in the work.
Yes, you do have access to additional labs. You and your practitioner will discuss what labs in addition to the HTMA + GI MAP may be necessary. We highly recommend a full thyroid panel, a CBC blood panel and are trained in advanced lab testing including Dutch Hormone Testing, Mold, and more.
If you have had a GI Map (Diagnostic Solutions only), an HTMA (Analytical Research or Trace Elements only), bloodwork, or a Dutch test done in the last 60 days (and have not yet started a protocol), we can use them.
Yes, however we cannot do deeper level gut work when a client is pregnant (or breastfeeding). For example, we do not address major gut infections like H. Pylori, bacteria, parasites as the protocol involved is contraindicated when pregnant or breastfeeding. We work with many pregnant and postpartum clients and come alongside them in optimizing their nutrient needs, blood sugar, and prepping for postpartum!
Yes, however the Fueled + Free Nutrition team of practitioners recommend incorporating high quality animal products for the majority of people. We will educate you on your options from an unbiased perspective, but the decision in how you eat is yours and yours alone.
We do not take insurance however some clients have success paying our services and lab testing with their HSA / FSA cards. Your ability to have these services covered is something you will have to look into with your HSA / FSA provider.
We have an alumni program! For a reduced monthly cost, you can continue to work with us, access additional lab testing if necessary, monthly zoom check ins and continued messaging access.
Yes, practitioner grade supplements are a part of your monthly protocols. Certain supplements are recommended to support drainage and detoxification, especially in preparation for a gut protocol. Depending on the results of your gut test, you can expect to be on gut related supplements for 30-60 days or 90+ days (ex. candida overgrowth is a longer protocol). Expect to spend $100-150 a month on average on your supplements. While we do take a food first approach, supplements are necessary to address gut issues, fine tune hormones, and replenish depleted nutrients.
If you have any questions or need support in deciding whether or not the Deep Dive program is for you, please get in touch by sending me a DM on Instagram or emailing me here.
I’ve loved working with Jen! She has been so helpful and understanding. She has really dug deep into my concerns and has done an excellent job to address my test results and consider my symptoms. I’ve really enjoyed all of her clean product recommendations that are not only free of toxins but also really work well. I am so thankful to be free from the terrible headaches and to have enough energy to play with my kids again. I feel very confident with the tools I have that I can continue to get better and stay healthy.
As a woman of 40+ I tell all my friends they need to work with a functional nutritionist! The unexpected breakthrough was the amount of stress I'm in. I didn't know how it affected my body, that it had been going on for years, and that all the problems I got with gut, hormones, and fibroids are the result of the stress. I'm slowly changing my entire life to reduce stress levels and manage it better. It's like a puzzle started to come together for me. I would definitely recommend it!
My body was giving me many signs that it was depleted and needed to get back on track! Through testing we were able to see what my body was lacking and work towards improving my mineral levels which I have already been able to see improvement. My brain fog has lifted, dizziness has settled down, energy has gone up, and my acid reflux is gone. They helped me to learn more about how my overall diet should look. So many symptoms stem from something deeper but sometimes we need to do some digging to find the problem.
I had been struggling with low energy, libido, and mood swings. When she had me fill out my forms I told her I didn’t have issues with my gut. Little did I know that there in lie the majority of my problems! They provided me with so many helpful nutritional resources of meal ideas and supplements. I would recommend everyone to get tests done to see what your body is needing and then trust them to help balance those needs in a timely and cost effective way. It’s worth every penny to feel good!
