I just finished Jen's Symptom LESS program and I think the best recommendation is that I can give is to say that I am making a lifestyle change to continue using the lessons I learned. I will expand more, but in general, I feel better, have more energy, my head feels clearer, and I've healed some auto immune issues withOUT medicine.
I've struggled with Clinical Depression for a while (runs in my family) and I had been on medication for about 2 years before I started Jen's program. I was definitely making progress with medication, but I certainly noticed an increase in progress about 1-2 weeks into the program. In the program, Jen discusses reducing inflammation within the body and allowing our body to more efficiently absorb and process what is put into it. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I do feel like my body is getting better use out of the medication I already take.
I was always very active when younger (multi-sport athlete), but in college I stopped being active and gained a lot of weight from drinking and partying. A few years after college, I decided to get back into shape. I followed the common dietary advice that is out there (low fat, whole grains, yadda yadda). I did lose weight, but I eventually developed eczema-like dry patches on my hands. I could never get those spots healed. I struggled for years and saw several doctors, but no cream or medication has ever worked. Additionally, I started to develop the dreaded bacne (back acne), which I could also never get to go away. It got so bad that taking off my shirt was depressing. After Jen's program (no medication...stopped medication for my dry patches and acne), I can say that the dry patches on my hands are healed! The bacne is a fighter, but he's been beaten back and is almost ready to give up.
I think the best thing for me was the accountability. During the early stages, I was communicating daily with Jen over the phone and that helped me feel some sense of 'pressure' to stick to my plan. She's super nice and sweet, so you naturally don't want to let her down :D. After a week, I could already notice the difference in how I felt throughout the day and that made me want to continue. Additionally, the fact that she works with you to determine what does and does NOT work is great. There wasn't a focus on what parts I wasn't getting, but rather a focus on what things we could do to supplement those issues or possible tweaks to make things work. That positive attitude throughout the program was a big boost to my determination to follow through.
Finally...I no longer have sugar cravings! If I want something sweet, I get some fruit, a date, or I make something like a sweet potato and add cinnamon, nutmeg, and drizzle honey over it (you're welcome). Additionally, I don't feel the need to binge on these sweet things. Have that small snack and I feel satisfied and don't need to shovel more and more sugar...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWorking with Jen has changed my life in many ways. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder as a kid but felt mostly symptom free and would qualify myself as a healthy person for most of my life. I started to notice mild symptoms (digestive issues, fatigue, frequent headaches) and I knew it was time to reassess what I was consuming, my main goal being to heal my gut.
I tried to go gluten free, dairy free, celery juice - however, without guidance I didnāt know what was working or what my individual needs were so I started working with Jen. I chose to do the 12 week program (so glad I listened to my intuition on that one because little did I know I was going to need this more extensive treatment).
My sessions with Jen revealed so much about my chronic conditions and during this phase (not a coincidence) I had a flare up that was manifesting as tachycardia (really rapid heart rate), light headedness, nausea, extreme fatigue, and more. This landed me in the ER and cardiologist office where all my labs were ānormalā. This was the scariest and most severe health related issue I have ever dealt with in my life. If it were not for Jen I would have had zero clue what was happening and would be left with no answers, and more importantly no solutions.
Her approach is not supplement-heavy, but is food based and healing centered. She never forced or rushed my process, only offered her expertise, guidance, and endless support. She acknowledges the power of our energy/experiences/beliefs/traumas and the role it all plays in our healing. The fact that she incorporates energy healing is integral.
True healing happens from the inside out - physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically - and Jen is there to help walk you every step of the way to greater health and the possibility to thrive. Whether you are a more sensitive person or just wanting to find out the root of your pesky symptoms, I recommend Jen to everyone and anyone. Iām so grateful to Jen for the insight and gifts she...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have to first start with where I WAS to help you understand where I am now, and where Iām headed.
Before I met Jen, I was a complete mess, physically! I had Psoriatic Arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, degenerative arthritis, chronic migraines, chronic sinusitis, vertigo, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic and worst of all, severe stomach issues, and had been on reflux meds for over 20 years. Those meds are not meant to be taken longer than 2 weeks. I was on a lot of prescription medications and OTC meds, and was on the verge of beginning a lot of new medications for my arthritis. Those meds are all linked to cancer risks and I was almost willing to take that risk to get some relief. In fact, I saw a rheumatologist and Jen on the exact same day.
I made the decision to take a natural approach first with Jen. After all, the meds would always be there if it didnāt work out.
I started this journey with Jen purely for my health issues. What Iāve found along the way is that itās also healing my spirit! We all carry so much baggage around that itās bound to affect your physical health as well as your mental health. Jen has taught me how to nourish my body, mind and spirit, through diet, and meditation and energy healing.
I have been able to take myself off all my medications! Thatās HUGE for me. Iāve lived on prescription meds for my entire adult life. My arthritis has subsided so much. The swelling and heat in my joints has gone way down. I have NO reflux or heartburn. I have no migraines now! I have energy again. And I suddenly see the world and my place in this world in a whole new light!
Thank you, Jen, foe...
