Jennifer is the founder of McDaniel Nutrition Therapy and the visionary behind our evidence-based, deeply personal approach to nutrition. She is a nationally recognized media spokesperson and co-author of The Mediterranean Table Cookbook. At McDaniel Nutrition, we believe meaningful change starts with understanding the whole person—not just what someone eats, but why. We explore the habits, experiences, emotions, and patterns that shape our choices, then pair that understanding with evidence-based nutrition guidance that works in real life.

FAQ
We’ve got your answers.
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist has the highest level of nutrition counseling. When you see a dietitian the last thing you will get is a one-size-fits all diet plan. Dietitians offer personally tailored health prescriptions. Dietitians are equipped to help you manage a chronic disease or figure out how to feed your picky eater. Dietitians believe and promote sustainable weight loss approaches that you and your family can stick with for the long haul. Nutrition advice will always be based on the most current body of nutrition evidence, yet be packaged for you in a realistic and practical manner.
Every client follow up plan is personalized. Some clients may need frequent visits in the beginning with less support as they adopt and maintain healthy habits. Many clients receive the feedback and guidance in one session. The follow up frequency is a mutually agreed plan conducted with the client at the initial consultation. Follow-up sessions include re-evaluation of nutrition plans, review of goals and strategies, evaluation of follow-up laboratory work (as needed), discussion of resources that help support goals (i.e. nutritional supplements, working with a therapist, books to read, etc). Follow-up sessions may be conducted in person, via phone or email based on personal preference.
At McDaniel Nutrition, we believe the path to meaningful, lasting health transformation is built on a true partnership. We’re here to listen, understand your unique needs, and work alongside you toward your goals. We’re genuinely invested in your well-being, always taking the time to explore not just what you eat, but the underlying thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that shape your habits.
