How I can help



If you’re tired of the sleepless nights, and sleepy afternoons…
If you’re tired of the weight that won’t budge, no matter how many miles you run or green smoothies you drink…
If you’re tired of the bloating, puffiness, and (ahem) gas…
If you’re tired of PMS and feeling annoyed by the whole world and sensitive to the touch…
If you’re tired of hot flashes, night sweats, and feeling like your thermostat is set just a little too high…
If you’re tired of allergies, achy joints, and skin irritations…
And scariest to me, if you’re tired of the way your brain just doesn’t function like it used to…
I can help.


Maybe you’ve tried different diets, different training plans, and different 21-30 day challenges. I’ve been there, and I’ve found that sometimes all we need is someone to help us figure out what our body needs and help us stick to a plan. That’s what I’m here for.

I will help you clarify your needs and desires, assist you in goal-setting, be your accountability partner and cheerleader, help you build self-awareness and the confidence to make changes in your lifestyle, and provide resources to help you implement healthier habits for a lifetime.

I will provide you with nutrition guidance and strategies on how to live a healthier life, but I cannot diagnose health conditions or prescribe medication or nutrition plans as a means of treating a disease. I will leave that to your doctors and registered dietitians. However, I will go more in depth than those experts usually have time for, as we explore your relationship to food, your body, your habits and lifestyle, your support system, and much more.

If you'd like to talk to me more about how I can help you reach your health and wellness goals, contact me at JenniferIbenWellness@gmail.com or book a free call with me by clicking the Calendly button.  I look forward to talking with you!

why do we gain weight during menopause?

I've been hearing a lot lately in the nutrition stratosphere about the fact that our metabolism doesn't really slow down at menopause, and as a woman knocking at that door herself, I find that very frustrating.  I talk to women every day who tell me that the tricks they used in their 20s and 30s to slim down don't seem to work anymore.  They tell me their weight is redistributing itself and their clothes don't fit the same way.  They tell me they are doing all the things they've been told to do (move more/eat less) and nothing changes.  How can you tell these women that their metabolism hasn't changed? I wish there were an easy answer. There seem to be a multitude of answers--some of them biological, and some lifestyle related. Let's start with the biological. As we age we tend to lose muscle mass, and when you add declining hormone levels, you're going to see a change in body composition. Loss of estrogen causes weight to accumulate around your middle i...

3 food rules to help you lose weight and feel great

We’ve already talked about the three questions to ask yourself when you’re eating .   Those were all about the mindfulness  side of eating.  Here are three ways to make sure you’re regulating your blood sugar and nourishing your body--in other words, the physiological side of what goes in your mouth.   Both are incredibly important, and often overlap.   Do these things and your inflammation levels will go down, your cravings will subside, your hormone levels will regulate, and you might even lose weight! Number one: Control your carbs. Carbohydrates are the one macronutrient that we really don’t need.   If we don’t ingest glucose, our bodies will make it.   If we don’t have enough glucose in our bloodstreams, our bodies will learn to run on ketones made from fatty acids.   That said, there are a lot of good things about vegetables and fruits that we can’t deny—they provide fiber and vitamins, and help our bodies detox.   Just try to ...

what have I been doing?

College move-in day Wow. I look at my Facebook group and blog and realize I’ve been quite the slacker lately. What’s going on? Well let me tell you… Life’s been going on. My oldest went off to college a few weeks ago, and though you might think that would free up more time for me (it technically has) I’ve also been having a hard time sitting still with my feelings or sitting still at all. The realization that my children are leaving the nest and my role as their mother is changing is throwing me for a loop. I’m not quite sure I’m ready for this. What does it mean for the rest of my life? Instead of thinking about that, I’ve been keeping quite busy-- cleaning the house, cleaning out closets, painting her room, planning band events, and planning an Alaska cruise. All things that need to be done eventually, but also things that can be parceled out after I’ve done the things that are really a priority to me, like writing and coaching—and maybe a little introspection. room makeover ...
