Kind Words About Jennifer

"After completing radiation and chemo therapy, I was left suffering from Neuropathy. I went through a series of oxygen therapy treatments, which helped greatly, but it wasn’t until I started working with Jennifer Whitney, following the GAPS diet, that I’m noticing significant changes in how I’m feeling. I’m starting to be able to bend and separate my toes for the first time in months, and the feeling of walking on a pad has started to leave. My balance and circulation have greatly improved, so my feet don’t feel as cold all the time. My drop foot has improved in one of my feet, and I know longer get as tired when I walk. I am continuing to follow the GAPS diet, and very thrilled and encouraged by the results I am experiencing each week." -Ted
"Four years ago lab work showed I had celiac disease. I was told to never eat gluten again. I had never had digestive issues but I previously had been diagnosed with a serious illness, so I paid close attention to these test results. I met with a gluten consultant and set about the daunting task of eliminating all gluten in my life, including hidden sources such as shampoo and lipstick. Then, I went to see Jennifer Whitney. With her help and guidance on healing my gut through “real food” I can now eat gluten again when choosing wisely. I was equipped with the knowledge on how to choose and prepare nutrient dense foods. I was bit of a challenging case, being that I was a vegetarian who did not cook, but Jenniferʼs compassion, gentle care and guidance helped me heal my gut and gluten issue." -Christina D.
"Jennifer helped me regain my health in a very profound way! After visiting many different doctors, I finally landed upon her. She worked with me and developed a plan of action, starting with identifying my food sensitivities, giving me desensitization treatments and recommending certain foods that helped strengthen my digestive system. Each week I felt increasingly better. By the end of the treatment I felt as good as I did back in my teens! A dark cloud was lifted and now I can enjoy my life so much more with my regained health." -Kelly K.
"Each time I introduced a new food to my daughter Mila, while weaning her off of breast feeding, she would have an allergic reaction. Simple foods such as avocado and egg yolk would bother her. Not knowing what to do, I started working with our nutritionist Jennifer Whitney. She helped us identify her food sensitivities, desensitize her from the foods, and strengthen her digestive system, following a specific nutritional program, designed for Mila. The progress we have made with Mila has been amazing, she has gone from having an allergic reaction to every food, to eating a well rounded super food diet. I love feeding her food, a hundred percent made from my own kitchen. I am so thankful to our nutritionist Jennifer Whitney, she has taught me so much." -Mila
"I had been suffering from extreme night terrors for about five years. I didn’t know what was causing them, and had a hard time explaining it. I would be awakened by a huge thud in the middle of my chest, then left with an extreme rapid heart beat, a feeling of fear. I went to five doctors, and each one recommended that I seek psychological help, so I did. Each doctor I visited, pronounced me sane, and that would be the end of it. I was getting very depressed, suffering from extreme anxiety, couldn’t drive, and worst of all felt suicidal. After going to a meeting about the GAPS diet, I decided to try it. I began working with Jennifer Whitney once a week, closely following the diet, and after the first week the extreme night terrors left me, and my anxiety and fear become less and less. I learned that my brain was not producing serotonin, which can happen with age, and I was depleting my adrenal glands with extreme fear. I’m continuing to move forward, working with Jennifer, closely following the GAPS program. I feel like I’ve reclaimed my life back." -Ruth
