Jen is a holistic nutritionist and an independent businesswoman. We talk about what that means, how she gets her clients, and what makes her passionate about this job.
What is your title?
I am a holistic nutritionist. I use food and supplements to help heal people with numerous conditions, and people come to me with a lot of different things that they would normally go to a doctor with, but the doctor doesn’t seem to work, or they put them on too many different drugs. So they come to me instead and we help heal through nutrition instead.
How would you describe a typical day?
I answer a bunch of emails – I usually have a lot of client questions. Then I will see clients throughout the day, based on what their schedule is – I don’t really have set hours, because a lot of my clients have very intense schedules. Some need to come in the evenings, some need to come early, some see me on weekends, and I try to work around my clients’ schedules. I will work on menu plans, and shopping guides, chemistry results, or my newsletter.
