“I went to Jennifer after cancer treatments that included chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. My metabolism was sluggish, I was having difficulties digesting food, my brain was foggy, and my belly was bloated. All of my symptoms were under the medical world’s radar. I worked with Jennifer over a period of months, and I got myself back on track! Jennifer is professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She worked with my doctor, and provided answers that the medical world could not. I am deeply grateful.” – Anonymous
