I’m Jenna aka The Period Guru, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) passionate about women’s hormonal health.
I get to the ROOT cause of your hormone and period problems with a multidisciplinary approach combining functional medicine, nutrition, functional lab testing, and smart supplements.
Growing up I struggled with weight gain, painful and irregular periods, PMS, digestive discomfort, and intense mood swings. Little did I know all these symptoms were part of PCOS and Endometriosis.
The only “solution” doctors gave me was to take the birth control pill, but with it came a host of horrible side effects. I was miserable.
One day I was done listening to doctors who told me that my only option was the birth control pill and that PCOS and Endometriosis were just something I had to “live” with.
So, I went back to school to study functional medicine, nutrition, and women’s health. I ran the right labs, changed my diet and lifestyle to support my body and started taking targeted supplements.
I’m happy to report that I’ve been in remission and have lived a mostly symptom-free life for more than a decade. Today, I’m 20 pounds lighter, ovulate monthly, have pain-free periods, and my mood swings and sugar cravings no longer get the best of me. At 37, I even conceived naturally, which is something doctors told me growing up wouldn’t be possible due to my PCOS.
And this is possible for you, too!
If you have PCOS, endometriosis, suffer from painful/irregular periods, infertility, chronic headaches, crippling fatigue, digestive challenges, and you’re sick and tired of your doctor telling you there’s nothing you can do except take the pill and lose weight, then you’ve come to the right place!
I know what it is like to suffer from hormonal imbalances and digestive discomfort. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to support women suffering from hormonal imbalances such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, PMDD, infertility, and thyroid and adrenal dysfunction.
This is why my mission is to empower all women with the knowledge on how to be their own best health advocates, so they, too, can achieve pain-free periods, abundant energy, healthy digestion, and optimum fertility.
I hope you’ll join me for the journey!
Healing together,
Jenna
Experience & credentials
I initially received my formal training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I became a health coach.
I then began studying women’s hormonal health more deeply at the Integrative Women’s Health Institute, and eventually became board-certified through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
I then became certified as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) where I was trained to run functional labs.
Certified Midlife Specialist through Wise & Well
Completed HTMA expert training with Kendra Perry and then HTMA Master Your Minerals Training with Amanda Montalvo.
My own life experience and the continued success of my clients has taught me that any hormonal condition can be put into remission with diet and lifestyle changes, and my mission is to see these same results for YOU, too. I even wrote about it in my book, The Period Solution: 28-Day Hormone Balancing Plan. My work has been featured in The Huffington Post , Mind Body Green, the Elephant Journal and NBC.
“I was on a long road to health for many years before I met Jenna. I had tried many forms of alternative medicine and I’d spent thousands of dollars on every supplement out there. Jenna didn’t need years to treat me! A few sessions over the course of 3 months was all it took. I can honestly say that this is the first time in my life I feel healthy. I am so much better at making better food choices and my energy is amazing! I highly recommend Jenna to anyone searching to get their health back on track. I can’t say that about any other practitioner I’ve been to.”
“I had experienced stomach pains for a long time – a number of years – and had intermittently looked into what they were being caused by, but never really committed to addressing the health problems I had been experiencing. Through testing, Jenna discovered what was causing me to have digestive upset, and after our work together the quality of my life has greatly improved. ”
“Jenna is a lifesaver! I started seeing her a few months ago after I decided I really wanted to get my hormones in balance and eat a better diet. After the right labs and nutrition support, I’ve seen an improvement in all of my symptoms and I have energy throughout the day that doesn’t require several cups of coffee a day.
I would recommend her to anyone that wants to truly make a change in their diet and yield true results!”
