Gut and hormone nutrition for women 40+ who are done guessing.

Lab-informed, gut-first support for perimenopause symptoms your bloodwork keeps calling normal.


 

Hi, I'm Jen.

Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Master Restorative Health Practitioner, and founder of Nurture & Flow Nutrition.

I work with women in midlife whose digestion, energy, and hormones stopped making sense, especially when the labs come back normal.

What I see most often: your symptoms aren't separate problems. They're connected signals, and the gut is usually where they connect.

So that's where we start. Not with a theory, but with data from your body.

Every client starts with comprehensive blood chemistry read through functional ranges. From there: a GI-MAP stool analysis, MRT food sensitivity testing, or a DUTCH hormone panel depending on what we're trying to find out.

Then we build from what comes back. A plan made for your body and your goals, not another trend or quick fix.


Tell me if this sounds familiar:

You're constantly second-guessing food, worried that the "wrong" choice will leave you bloated, uncomfortable, or exhausted.

Your digestion feels unpredictable, and it's hard to trust your body day to day.

Energy crashes hit in the afternoon, no matter how well you think you're eating or sleeping.

Hormone shifts feel louder than they used to, showing up as mood changes, poor sleep, stubborn weight changes, or feeling off in ways you can't quite explain.

You've read everything, asked every question, and come away with more theories than answers.

You've tried diets, supplements, or cutting foods out, but the relief never lasts.

More information hasn't helped. What's missing is data from your actual body.


More information was never the missing piece.

You've probably tried cutting foods, adding supplements, or pushing harder, only to land right back where you started.

That was never a discipline problem. It was a fit problem. Those approaches were built for everyone, which means they weren't built for you.

You can find a hundred explanations for your bloating in a single afternoon. Every one of them is a guess until something measures what your gut is actually doing.

That's the difference here. We test, read the results alongside your symptom patterns, and build the plan from there. When you address what's underneath, progress holds.

Steadier energy. Calmer digestion. Confidence around food again.


 

Areas of Focus

 
 

Digestion & Gut Health

Bloating, gas, constipation, and reflux aren't random. They're signals, and they're not your new normal.

A GI-MAP stool analysis measures what's happening in your gut: bacterial balance, digestive function, and inflammation markers. We read those results alongside your symptom patterns and build from there.

So you're working from data instead of guesses.

stress & Hormone Balance

Painful or heavy periods, PMS, mood swings, migraines, stubborn weight, cravings. These tend to travel together.

A DUTCH panel maps your hormone levels and how your body is clearing them, which in perimenopause often matters as much as the levels themselves.

From there, targeted nutrition and lifestyle support to help your body find steadier ground.

Customized Nutrition

There's no one-size-fits-all way to eat. Your needs shift with your body, your stress, and your stage of life.

MRT food sensitivity testing measures your inflammatory response to foods, additives, and chemicals. When we take something out, it's because your results pointed there, not because it's the food everyone's cutting this year.

You'll learn to eat in a way that supports steady energy, calmer digestion, and hormone balance, so you can feel like you again.

 

 

How to Get Started

 
 

Step 1

Complimentary consult

 

A conversation about your symptoms, where you feel stuck, and what you've already tried. You'll leave knowing what I'd want to look at first and whether working together makes sense for you.

 

Step 2

Initial intake

 
 

A full review of your health history, food journal, and symptom patterns, plus any labs you already have. You'll leave with a clearer picture of your body than you came in with and actionable first steps.

 

Step 3

Customized program

 

Comprehensive functional lab testing, a personalized nutrition and supplement protocol, and coaching sessions across six months. Your plan adapts as your body responds, so progress holds.

 
 

What Others Are Saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Working with Jennifer has been a wonderful experience!  As a former nurse, I completely understand the limitations of the type of care that is practiced in Western medicine, and that is exactly why I chose to work with Jennifer! As a wellness enthusiast and advocate, I was so excited to know that Jennifer's approach focused on identifying the root causes of the symptoms I was experiencing, rather than taking the band-aid approach of merely focusing on symptom management - she wants to help us rebalance and thrive!”

teala K., valencia, ca

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I started on this journey feeling the worst I’ve ever felt. Having Jennifer’s guidance and support was huge.  I had lots of confusion around food choices before, and gained clarity with how to nourish my body based on what the labs were telling us. I loved approaching my health from root cause place, and gained a deep understanding for how the body is all connected.”

“After working with Jennifer, I have a much better understanding of how my body reacts to food, and how everything is connected to the gut. I feel like I had a great reset, and am back on track with healthy habits.”

kendra C., portland, or

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Jennifer has the most gentle, holistic, client-focused, results-yielding approach of any practitioner I have EVER had. Especially in recent times, I am so grateful for the time and attention and genuine care Jennifer devotes to me and my husband (and any friend or family member we refer to her). She is knowledgeable and insightful about which lab tests to request so that we can find the actual CAUSES of our health issues.”
