Meet Jennifer Tollefsrud
Certified Nutrition & Autoimmune Specialist & Life Coach
My journey into holistic health and wellness began at age 12 following a car accident that, while not resulting in broken bones, left lasting impacts on my muscular and nervous systems. This early experience with chronic pain laid the foundation for my lifelong commitment to understanding and managing complex health conditions.
In my 30s, I received diagnoses for multiple autoimmune illnesses, building upon a history of health challenges including celiac disease, which I've had since birth. These conditions manifested through various symptoms such as eczema, severe allergies, respiratory issues, and migraines. Comprehensive allergy testing in my late 20s revealed numerous environmental and food sensitivities, illuminating the profound connection between diet and overall health.
My personal health journey has been marked by both progress and challenges. While managing these conditions can be demanding, I've developed resilience and a positive outlook, supported by a strong network of loved ones. Through dedicated effort and lifestyle modifications, I now experience a significantly improved quality of life.
Nutrition has played a pivotal role in my recovery. By implementing strategic dietary changes, I've successfully reduced pain levels and increased physical activity, choosing to actively participate in life rather than be limited by my conditions.
With over 25 years of experience in the neurodiverse community and a background in massage therapy, I made the decision in fall 2023 to transition my career towards helping others facing similar health challenges. My approach combines innovative solutions with evidence-based practices, offering guidance on lifestyle and dietary modifications for individuals managing autoimmune disorders, learning disabilities, chronic pain, anxiety, stress, and depression.
My unique perspective integrates creativity with proven methodologies, allowing me to develop personalized strategies for each client. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, stress management, or seeking a holistic approach to wellness, I offer comprehensive support throughout your journey. Together, we can craft a tailored plan that enhances resilience, promotes healing, and improves overall quality of life.
I invite you to take the first step towards optimal health and well-being by scheduling a Discovery Call today.
