Lifestyle Medicine to Reverse Chronic Disease

Serving NY & VT (and offering nationwide coaching), I help adults and children use food, movement, sleep, and stress support to treat and reverse conditions like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and asthma — joyfully and sustainably.

HOW DOES IT WORK

What Makes Lifestyle Medicine Different?

Chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or inflammation are like an overflowing sink.

Traditional medicine often steps in with the mop — managing the symptoms, minimizing the damage, and doing what’s necessary in the moment.

But lifestyle medicine?
We turn off the tap.
We empty the sink.
Then we clean up the mess.

By addressing the root causes — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and environment — we help the body heal from the inside out. It’s not an either-or. It’s a powerful “yes, and” approach that complements conventional care and empowers patients to truly move forward.

WHO I HELP

I work with adults and children in New York and Vermont (and coach nationwide) who are:

  • Feeling frustrated with quick fixes and ready for a more sustainable, personalized approach

  • Navigating chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, asthma, autoimmune concerns, or metabolic issues

  • Interested in non-pharmacologic weight loss rooted in evidence, not extremes

  • Hoping to reduce medications, increase energy, and feel more in control of their health

  • Looking for care that respects their body, culture, and personal values — without rigid food rules or one-size-fits-all advice

This is a space where we prioritize long-term healing over shortcuts, and where progress is measured in energy, clarity, and confidence — not just lab results or numbers on a scale.

Note: I do not provide primary care. My services are designed to complement your existing providers.

MEET DR. JENN

I’m Dr. Jenn — a triple board-certified physician in pediatrics, pediatric critical care, and lifestyle medicine. After more than 25 years of practicing medicine, I’ve come to believe that real healing happens when we combine medical expertise with practical, sustainable changes that support your everyday life.

I created this practice to offer something more comprehensive — a space where adults and children can improve their health by addressing the true drivers of chronic illness using the power of food, movement, stress management, and joyful connection.

I’m also certified in plant-based nutrition and culinary coaching, and I believe deeply in helping you build a life that feels joyful, balanced, and truly well — inside and out.
