Hi, I'm dr. Jenn chrisman

Here to show you that healthy doesn’t have to be hard.

I’m a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Board Certified Nutritionist, and I help women untangle their relationship with food and their bodies. I support women in freeing themselves from rigid food rules and unsustainable diet culture and moving toward a steadier, more trusting way of eating that supports both physical health and emotional ease. This work is about stepping out of the exhausting cycle of restriction, overthinking, and starting over, so food can feel simple again. My approach is rooted in food freedom and sustainable nutrition that fits real life and allows for a calmer, more settled relationship with eating. There are no rigid rules or “perfect” plans to follow, just a practical, compassionate way to nourish yourself and feel at home in the body you live in.

MY STORY

My Health & Fitness Journey Began…

My story didn’t start with perfect habits or even a love of food. I’ve lost weight, gained weight, felt too much in my body, felt disconnected from it, and cycled through more food rules and diets than I can count. My eating and body image were shaped by confusing, often harmful nutrition messages and diet culture that promised control and delivered shame. I know what it feels like to look like you have it together while quietly struggling with food and your body.

That struggle eventually caught up with me in the form of a health crisis that forced me to slow down and listen more closely. It brought me back to school to pursue a Master’s in Nutrition and Integrative Health, reshaping my understanding of nourishment entirely. What I teach now comes from lived experience, clinical training, and the hard-earned understanding that healing your relationship with food has to work in real life, not just on paper.

You Deserve to Trust Your Body, Your Choices, and Yourself

I work with women who are ready to relate to food, their bodies, and their health in a more honest and sustainable way. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you reconnect with your own internal guidance and build the skills to care for yourself with clarity and confidence.

At the core of this work is learning to trust your body again. Your body holds information. When you learn how to listen and respond with care, decisions around food and health begin to feel less fraught and more intuitive.

Nourishment is kept simple and real. Food does not need to be moralized or complicated to be supportive. Together, we focus on eating in a way that feels nourishing, practical, and aligned with your life, without rigid rules or unnecessary overwhelm.

Lasting change happens when identity shifts. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who needs to be managed or fixed and start relating to yourself as someone worthy of care, consistency becomes possible.

This work also asks you to take yourself seriously. Prioritizing your well being is not indulgent. It is foundational. When you tend to your own needs with intention, everything else in your life benefits.

Ultimately, the goal is for you to feel confident participating in your own health. Making informed, conscious choices. Trusting your capacity to heal, grow, and sustain change over time.

NOURISHED: The podcast

Real Conversations About Nourishment, Growth, and the Human Experience

I’m the creator and co-host of the Nourished podcast, a space for thoughtful conversations about what it means to care for ourselves as whole people. The show explores food, body trust, emotional well-being, relationships, and personal growth through honest dialogue and lived experience.

Episodes include conversations with practitioners, teachers, and thinkers across nutrition, psychology, wellness, and personal development, as well as reflections drawn from my own work and life. The intention is not to provide answers, but to offer perspective, insight, and language that helps you think more clearly and compassionately about your own experience.

The podcast is an extension of the same work I do with clients. It’s a place to slow down, ask better questions, and engage with ideas that support a more connected and nourished way of living.

WHY WORK WITH ME

  • I’m Trained in BOTH Psychology AND Nutrition

    And not just a certification! I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and I’m completing a Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Integrative Health. That combination shapes everything I do. I understand how the mind works, how patterns form, and how change actually happens. I also understand physiology, metabolism, and the role food plays in supporting the body. This work lives at the intersection of both, because that’s where real change happens.

  • I’ve LIVED the Cycle You’re Trying to Get Out Of

    I know what it’s like to spend years stuck in dieting, bingeing, restricting, and trying to get it right. I’ve been deeply entangled in food rules, body control, and the belief that the next plan would finally fix things. I know what it’s like to not recognize the woman looking back at you in the mirror, and I know what it’s like to feel like your body has betrayed you. This work isn’t theoretical for me. It comes from having lived it, questioned it, and slowly found a way out that didn’t require perfection. I learned how to listen to my body.

  • I Don’t Rush the Process or Bypass the Hard Parts

    I’m comfortable sitting with complexity, ambivalence, and the parts of change that aren’t neat or linear. I don’t push quick answers or force momentum. I trust that when people feel safe, supported, and understood, change happens in ways that last. That patience is part of the work.

  • I Care Deeply About How This Feels, Not Just How it Looks

    Results matter. And so does your internal experience. I pay attention to whether progress feels sustainable, respectful, and aligned with who you are becoming. My goal is not just that things change on the outside, but that you feel more at home in your body and more confident in your choices as you go.

Words to live by

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
