About Jenny Lo

Jenny’s career began by focusing on cardiovascular disease, where she led a state-of-the-art cardiovascular stress test lab. While helping those with established heart conditions was rewarding, Jenny soon realized her true calling: preventing and reversing chronic diseases through nutrition. This led her to pursue nutrition counseling as the key to empowering individuals toward better health.

A lifelong athlete herself, Jenny is a multi-time marathoner, Ironman, and marathon swimmer. She understands firsthand the demands of endurance sports and is passionate about helping athletes optimize their performance. Along the way, she earned multiple endurance coaching certifications and further deepened her expertise with her Master’s degree. Through this, Jenny saw that many athletes were missing out on the critical role nutrition plays in training and recovery.

In addition to running her own private practice, Jenny also works in a hospital’s critical care setting, where she specializes in enteral and parenteral nutrition, as well as managing complex medical conditions. This hands-on experience has made her an expert in providing specialized nutrition support, particularly for individuals with intricate feeding needs during critical illness. Her unique combination of clinical and sports nutrition knowledge allows her to offer comprehensive, individualized care to clients at every stage of health.

More Testimonials for Wellness and Sports Dietetics

Jenny has changed my life! My recovery from food issues began in January 2024. Shortly thereafter, someone suggested that I work with a dietitian. I began working with Jenny in May 2024 and at my 1st appointment, she gently, but firmly, began to demolish the food rules and lies that I’d lived with and by for over 25 years! It wasn’t easy, in fact, I didn’t like it, but through Jenny’s patience, gentleness, and professional experience, I began to slowly let go of my food rules and believe that I too could be free! I’ve been working with Jenny for a little over six months now and I still have a ways to go BUT I know without a doubt that I’m headed in the right direction! I look forward to meeting with Jenny every two weeks because in addition to providing sound nutritional support, she encourages, uplifts, and gets me back on track because I don’t always get it right ! I’m sharing my experience in the hopes that if you need help with food issues like me or any other type of nutritional support - reach out to Jenny Lo - she’s a game changer!

...I have been seeing Jenny now for months, and she has significantly helped heal my relationship with food. I have learned SO much from her, especially since she also specializes in fitness. I have gone gluten-free to decrease inflammation in my body and attempt to help my thyroid out some. I have learned to balance my carbs for PCOS management to prevent insulin resistance and diabetes, and we have dipped into the importance of protein and its role in my body's function. I have nothing but good things to say about Jenny; she is an absolute delight to work with both in session and through our chats in Healthie. She gives really good feedback on my food journals, and I never feel judged when I have "bad" food days. It's all about healing and education, and I feel so lucky to have found her for my journey.
