The Mom, Jess

I’m Jess – the lady lucky to be ‘The Mom’ on this site. I decided to share this part of our life with you because I think it’s important to PAY IT FORWARD.  We have been given a gift in the SCD Diet and if I can help to inspire one more person to heal through it, I will be rewarded.

I believe that diet is EVERYTHING.  I might be biased as I studied Nutrition in college but I still believe and I have seen firsthand that FOOD IS MEDICINE. I’m really passionate about gut-health, good bacteria and our gut microbiota/gut flora (the collection of microorganisms that inhabit our GI tract, creating a mini-ecosystem). I think our gut flora is the future of medicine and almost everything in our body relates to it.

The best part about me is being a mom to my two kiddos and a wife to my sweet husband. I love my family endlessly.  I also happen to be an avid foodie and by profession a food scientist, innovator, researcher, product developer, clean food pioneer in the Natural Food Industry. Friends often joke that I’m the perfect mom to have a kid on this special diet.  I guess I was called to my background for a future path that has now been revealed to me.

I love to cook. I hate to clean. I love my combo of kickboxing followed by yoga. I’m the biggest fan of homemade chai tea and sauerkraut (not to be combined of course!).  I also love champagne to celebrate all life’s big and little moments. I’m definitely not a writer – you will probably note that after reading some of our pages (…psst! she liked Science, not English class).  I AM GRATEFUL. Grateful for too many things to even list…so, thank you for taking the time to be here.

so kindly,

Jess
