The Health Crush Nutrition Consulting
Learn To Fall in Love With Your Health
About The Health Crush
Hi my name is Jenny. I began The Health Crush, a nutrition consulting business, after graduating from Bauman College: Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts. I am located in Humboldt County, California, and part owner of a local gym, Lifted Arcata. I offer in person consultations at my office in Arcata, as well as virtually.
I specialize in weight loss, candida overgrowth, and mold toxicity. However, I also have extensive eduction and experience with digestive issues, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and food sensitivities.
My comprehensive and custom meal plans include recipes and shopping lists. I also offer multiple digestive, hormone, toxicity, and nutrition tests. Every service includes recommendations, consultations, check ins, and targeted support.
I also offer personal training and discounts on group fitness classes. Combining a nutrition plan with a workout routine is the best way to reach your weight loss and strength goals. It is also an excellent way to help detox from toxicity.
I am committed to forming relationships with my clients, figuring out the root cause of their symptoms, and guiding them towards their health goals.
If you are tired of not losing weight, or not being listened to about your symptoms, contact me for a free phone call. During this call I can answer questions about my program and figure out if we are a good fit.
My Story
I grew up eating healthy with 50 acres of organic gardens, fruit trees, and our own livestock. However, trauma was also something I was familiar with as a child. As a result of severe stress, my digestive system never worked correctly (the gut and brain are connected). I went to many doctors, but was never taken seriously and suffered for decades with terrible IBS symptoms. Through this same time I also struggled with my weight. I would diet then overeat then diet again. I decided to put myself through nutrition school where I received a wonderful education.
I met a great specialist, learned about functional testing, and finally received many digestive diagnoses such as: sibo, h pylori, hiatal hernia, gastroparesis, pancreatic insufficiency, low SIGA (gut immunity), candida overgrowth, dyssynergia (pelvic floor dysfunction causing gut paralysis), and a large tumor was also found in my colon. But, WHY were so many things wrong with my digestive system? Because chronic stress is a root cause for many health issues.
Through this all, I bought my first home, got married and had a son. When my son as a toddler began showing physical and mental issues I used functional testing to check him for toxicity. His little body was riddled with mold. The mold spores he was breathing in since birth had lowered his immune sytem and also caused candida to overgrow in his gut. This began my obsession with mold detox. Today my son is 7 and perfect with no signs of ADHD, gut imbalnce, or chronic sickness.
These are two of the many reasons I am so passionate about helping others feel better. Because I UNDERSTAND what it is like to have health issues get in the way of your life!
So, whether you’re looking for custom meal plans, nutritious recipes, professional guidance, or tailored personal support I would love to help you figure out WHY you do not feel well and work with you towards true physical, emotional. mental, and spiritual healing.
Available Services
Weight Loss Counseling
I offer weight loss counseling and custom meal plans. Included are diet, lifestyle, calorie and macronutrient guidance, weekly in person check ins, and supplement recommendations. Meal plans are customized to cater to each individual’s needs, goals, and tastes. Beautifully presented in an e-book that includes recipes and shopping lists.
Sports Nutrition Coaching
Sports coaching is for people that are looking to fuel their performance with optimal nutrition. Whether you're looking to build muscle, increase stamina, reduce inflammation or build endurance having a custom plan can help you become a better athlete. Training for a season or event has specific demands that can be greatly influenced by proper nutrition and meal timing, having a plan leads to improved performance and body composition.
Gut Health Support
Poor digestive health affects our entire bodies. If you suffer from cravings, low energy, bloating, burping, constipation, watery bowel movements, skin issues, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain or loss, or frequent colds/flu you may have a gut imbalance. I work with a team of clinicians to offer microbiome stool testing to determine what issues may be contributing to your symptoms, as well as diet and supplement recommendations to correct the imbalance and improve your quality of life.
Food Allergy Management
Food allergies or sensitivities greatly influence our daily life by causing inflammation, gut issues, skin problems, fatigue, and more. Determining which foods are having a negative impact on us can be challenging. I can help by offering food sensitivity tests and/or guiding you through an elimination diet.
Hormone Balancing
Stress, age, genetics, toxins, and nutrition all influence our hormones. If one of these things throws our hormones out of balance we can experience many uncomfortable symptoms. Having experienced multiple hormone imbalances myself due to stress, I know what it feels like. Together we can work on naturally healing your body from a hormone imbalance through testing, holistic supplements, and nutrition.
Supplement Planning
As well as a nutritionist, I am also a certified supplement specialist. I work with wonderful supplement companies offering high quality herbs, vitamins, minerals, protein powders, probiotics, and much more. My coaching includes personalized supplement recommendations, plans, and protocols depending on your symptoms or goals. You can also ask me for supplement guidance or buy directly through me without signing up for a plan. I always offer all of my current and past clients generous discounts off of supplements.
Working with Jenny was a total game changer for me. Before meeting Jenny, I had never had the motivation to change, or the support to maintain changes. Jenny gave me all of the motivation and support I needed.
The weekly check-ins were great, and the supportive texts were the best! It was amazing to feel like there was someone in my corner, especially because sometimes making healthy changes (like giving up booze or sugar) is hard for friends and family to accept or adapt to.
Jenny is clear she’s not a therapist, but our relationship was definitely therapeutic. I’ve learned so much about my body and what needs, as well as my physical and emotional relationship with food, alcohol and exercise.
I am so happy with the changes I’m making and wish everyone could have this experience.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
