Empowering Health Through Clinical Neuroscience & Functional Nutrition
Lab-guided, personalized nutrition and supplementation for complex gastrointestinal, immune, neurological, mental health, and adrenal conditions
A Thoughtful Approach for Complex Conditions
Who I Work With
I primarily work with individuals experiencing complex or persistent health concerns where nutrition may play a deeper supportive role. This often includes GI challenges, immune or inflammatory conditions, environmental stressors, persistent nasal congestion, and symptoms that haven’t fully resolved despite previous interventions. Many clients come to me after feeling stuck, overlooked, or unsure of their next step
Those who have tried multiple approaches without clear resolution
People seeking thoughtful, lab-informed care rather than protocol-driven or wellness-only support
How My Work Is Different
I provide a clinical neuroscience–informed approach to functional nutrition
I use targeted lab testing to meaningfully inform care
I create personalized protocols refined over time based on individual needs
I value clarity, efficiency, and appropriate off-boarding
This is not a weight-loss only program
How We Work Together
Your personalized care begins with a comprehensive initial assessment and foundational lab testing, followed by ongoing monthly consulting with daily messaging availability. Supplements and protocols are evaluated and recommended based on monthly progress. Follow-up testing is recommended based on progress and clinical need rather than on a fixed schedule. A 4 month minimum is required as part of my practice.
Meet the Founder
I’m Jana, a nutritionist, clinical neuroscientist, and the founder of this practice, established in 2017. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, am a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), and am currently completing a Master’s in Applied Neuroscience at King’s College London.
My work focuses on complex, overlapping health conditions involving gastrointestinal dysfunction, immune and autoimmune processes, neurological and mental health symptoms, metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, and adrenal/HPA-axis dysregulation. I specialize in working with individuals who have not fully improved with conventional approaches and who require a thoughtful, systems-based lens.
Clinically, I integrate functional laboratory testing, including GI maps, metabolic, and neurochemical testing, with individualized nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies. My approach prioritizes clinical reasoning and efficiency.
In addition to clinical practice, I am a published lead author with research focused on mitochondrial dysfunction, GLP-1 physiology, and the use of photobiomodulation (red light therapy) in severe mood disorders. Ongoing research interests include neuroimmune and inflammatory mechanisms underlying anxiety, depression, and complex chronic illness.
My work is grounded in evidence, guided by neuroscience, and designed to support meaningful progress.
Book a Discovery Call
This consultation is designed for individuals seeking a functional nutrition perspective on ongoing or complex health concerns. It is exploratory rather than diagnostic and focuses on understanding your history, current challenges, and potential next steps.
This call is not intended for weight-loss coaching alone or medical diagnosis, but rather for those interested in deeper root-cause support and collaborative care.
Many clients find that even this initial conversation provides valuable clarity and direction
Now offering both virtual consultations and limited in-person sessions in Austin, Texas
Research & Media
My work extends beyond clinical practice into research, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am involved in ongoing research exploring the intersection of nutrition, neuroscience, and emerging adjunct therapies, including published work on transcranial photobiomodulation and mental health support.
I regularly participate in educational discussions, professional collaborations, and podcast conversations focused on gut-brain health, immune regulation, environmental influences, and complex chronic care.
This work helps ensure that my clinical approach remains grounded in evolving science while staying practical and patient-centered.
