About Jana

My work sits at the intersection of clinical neuroscience and functional nutrition, shaped by an unconventional path and a persistent curiosity about complex physiology.

Before entering healthcare, I worked in the corporate world, progressing from intern to Chief Operating Officer. While the experience sharpened my operational and strategic thinking, it also made something clear: this was not where my interest or sense of purpose lived. I left to pursue formal training in nutrition and clinical care, knowing I wanted to work directly with human health—not systems detached from it.

I founded my nutrition practice in 2017 and initially worked with cardiac, metabolic, and liver-related conditions. Although clinically valuable, this work did not fully reflect my interests or strengths. What consistently drew my attention were the brain, nervous system, and the way chronic illness expresses itself through neuroimmune, metabolic, and mitochondrial pathways.

My interest in neuroscience began long before my clinical career and remained a quiet throughline throughout my training. After completing my Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, I found myself increasingly limited by the separation between nutrition and neuroscience. I was often told that “neuro-nutritionists don’t exist.” Rather than accept that boundary, I chose to work at the intersection of both and seek a second masters in applied neuroscience.

Clinical Focus & Research Orientation

My clinical and research interests center on the relationship between:

• Brain and nervous system function

• Gastrointestinal and liver health

• Immune and autoimmune processes

• Mitochondrial function and cellular energy

• Environmental and metabolic stressors

This integrated lens has shaped both my clinical practice and my academic work.

I am a published lead author on research examining mitochondrial dysfunction and GLP-1 physiology, as well as a second publication exploring photobiomodulation (red light therapy) as a multimodal adjunct in anxiety and depression. These projects reflect my broader interest in how energy metabolism, inflammation, and neural signaling intersect in complex mood and neuroimmune conditions.

I am currently completing a Master’s degree in Applied Neuroscience at King’s College London and am leading research on neuroimmune disease in the adoptive pediatric population. While my clinical practice is adult-focused, this research continues to inform how I think about immune activation, nervous system development, and long-term physiological adaptation.

How This Shapes My Clinical Work

This background has led me to practice with restraint and intention.

I focus on individual needs and do not suggest excessive supplements. Laboratory testing is used to inform care, interventions are paced thoughtfully, and recommendations are refined based on response.

My goal is not to do more, but to do what is clinically appropriate, efficient, and sustainable, especially for individuals who have already tried multiple approaches without meaningful improvement.

Care is consultative, individualized, and outcome-oriented. Visits are spaced ethically, timelines are adapted when necessary (particularly in environmentally complex cases), and treatment plans evolve as physiology changes.

Who This Practice Is For

This practice is best suited for adults with complex, overlapping conditions who value thoughtful clinical reasoning and are seeking a careful, systems-based approach.

It may not be a fit for those looking for:

• protocol-based care

• supplement-only solutions

• quick fixes or guarantees

• high-frequency or indefinite visits

• weight-loss only solutions

Grounded, Integrated, and Evidence-Informed

My work is grounded in evidence, guided by neuroscience, and informed by ongoing research. I aim to bridge disciplines that are often kept separate: nutrition, neuroscience, immunology, and metabolism in service of clearer thinking and better outcomes for complex cases.
