You value health.
But you're busy and can't seem to make your healthy habits stick.
Reality is, you have enough on your plate (pardon the pun!). Between work and family, life is busy and stressful enough. Add in grocery shopping, meal planning, fitting in exercise, and figuring out the best diet for you . . . It's enough to make anyone's head spin.
Let's face it, healthy habits fall to the bottom of your priority list when life gets busy. But you're committed to keep trying so you're always on the look out for the latest diet trend or supplement that will be the solution you need.
Yet, from the multitude of options to choose from, none of them resonate with who YOU are. They all offer a cookie-cutter approach that work in the short-term but never get to the root of the problem and end-up leaving you feeling more frustrated than ever before.

How she helps: Jodi is a healthy eating coach who helps busy people clear the confusion about healthy eating and discover healthy, simple, and sustainable meal & snack solutions. She is most passionate about helping people overcome restrictive/disordered eating, create a positive relationship with food and their body, and busting common nutrition myths.
What made her become dietitian/personal trainer/yoga teacher: During her youth, Jodi learned (the hard way) that going on diets and taking a restrictive approach to eating is a recipe for health disaster. Becoming educated in proper nutrition and fitness set her on the right path to enjoy a healthy and happy lifestyle (including all foods, in moderation).

Fun fact: Jenna learned lots about blog writing from Jodi, who mentored Jenna during her dietetic internship!
What made her become a Registered Dietitian: Some of Jenna’s fondest childhood memories come from learning about food from her mom and grandmother. What attracted her most about dietetics was that it combined her passion for food with education and health care. Jenna also loves that there are so many different opportunities working in dietetics. Now, she gets “the best of both worlds” - she works with Craving Change to promote health and wellness through her writing, but she also works in a clinical role in a hospital.
