Jeannine
Nutrition & Holistic health strategist
I’m on mission to empower women in mid-life to reclaim their radiance by harnessing the power of nutrition & holistic wellness – helping you glow from the inside out. I want to help women change their narrative around getting older and help them build sustainable health habits that will help them live their most vibrant life.
How Eat Beautifully Started
Like a lot of women, Jeannine’s health and wellness journey began with a focus on weight loss. She relied on calorie counting, carb restriction and overexercising to balance out bad habits. As a young public relations professional, her career was fueled by happy hours, late nights, little sleep and too much stress.
All these bad habits finally caught up to her when she struggled to get pregnant – due to hormonal imbalances and gut health issues caused by her lifestyle choices – and didn’t come to light until she was diagnosed with “unexplained fertility.”
Two children later, her health and hormonal imbalances only got worse with the sleep deprivation, intense exercise and the stress of trying to manage a career, babies and a home. Her old old habits of restricting carbs and intense cardio no longer worked. She felt inflamed, her hair was thinning, her sleep was a mess and she could not lose weight.
Fed up, Jeannine was inspired to get her health coach certification from the renowned Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York. A public relations executive in healthcare, Jeannine has always been passionate about health, but her approach to hear health was transformed when she learned about gut health, the role hormones play in women’s health, inflammation, and how it’s all interconnected. She finally understood the WHY behind her symptoms and founded her health coaching practice, Eat Beautifully (a homage to her love of creating beautiful, healthy meals) to help other women.
Jeannine knows first hand what it’s like to transform your how you feel when you prioritize your health. Today, Eat Beautifully teaches women about the transformational connection between nutrition, foundational health practices and well-being.

What is a health coach?
A health coach is trained to support individuals in making nutrition and lifestyle changes to improve their health. We don’t prescribe specific diets or nutrition plans. We work with our clients to explore areas of life which may be out of balance, set achievable goals, and work together through perceived barriers to achieve these goals. Set up a free 1:1 call to learn more.
What is your eating philosophy?
I work with clients to identify a diet which works for them – whether that’s omnivore, paleo, vegan, pegan, vegetarian etc. Regardless of your eating style, science has repeatedly shown that the power of plants is the foundation for helping us feel our best on the inside and look radiant on the outside. I believe eating natural, nutrient-rich foods is the key to lasting health.
What are your credentials?
I trained with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) which is the largest nutrition school in the world. IIN is an accredited, globally recognized health coach training program which is licensed by the New York State Education Department.
Should I see a health coach instead of a doctor?
No! Health coaches can work to support the recommendations of your doctor but do not replace recommendations made by a healthcare professional. If you are struggling with a specific health condition, I will work alongside your care team to help ensure you are following the recommended dietary and lifestyle modifications.
What types of issues can you help with?
As a health coach, I work with clients to keep them on the right path and in good health. Some examples of where I may be able to support you include (but are not limited to): weight loss, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, sports performance. Over the course of my training I learned about:
- How gut health impacts all aspects of our health
- The role of nutrition in inflammatory diseases
- The impact of women’s hormones on our health
- How stress and lack of sleep affect everything from our mental health to metabolism
- How to control blood glucose and the impact of sugar
- Why it’s important to take a holistic approach to health, paying attention to other factors like sleep, stress and movement.
