  • Hey Awesome! Yeah, you! I know... You’re ready to stop falling into an all-or-nothing mentality when it comes to food and finally put together a realistic plan on how to boost your energy and find food freedom! I’m Jess, and I am obsessed with all things nutrition, science and helping you navigate this information while maintaining a deep sense of peace and empowerment in your body. I am a registered dietitian who started out with an eating disorder and then fell in love with how God intricately designed our body to be resilient and so much more than superficially beautiful. I am now a mama who loves to be healthy, not because of how it makes me look, but because of how it transforms the energy I can give to my family, my work, and you. On this show we hit on real talk about the latest nutrition science and body image resiliency all while balancing it between grit and grace. Think of this as your weekly audio coffee on your empowered eating journey. This is the Fuel Her Awesome Podcast.

Every woman needs to hear this!

This is such a great podcast to empower the ladies and really anyone. I love the different approach to foods and fitness that I learn here. Listening to this podcast has changed the way I talk to myself and is a great way to approach healthy living with my daughter without causing her to have any negative feelings about food/ nutrition.
