About Me
My name is Jerlyn Jones, owner of The Lifestyle Dietitian LLC, an Atlanta-based nutrition private practice. I’m also a registered dietitian nutritionist, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, public speaker, media personality, and nutrition consultant. I’m passionate about showing you simple nutrition solutions to reach your health goals.
I help busy women and men get fast relief from inflammatory health issues such as bloating, joint pain, migraines, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, and fatigue naturally so they can get the health results they crave and know which foods to eat for the rest of their lives.
In 2017, I had health issues related to the foods I was eating every day. I had low energy (daily naps), my joints ached especially my knees, my hair was falling out, and the acne on my face got worse. I was miserable.
I did some research on food sensitivities and MRT (Mediator Release Test) which led me to book an appointment with a registered dietitian nutritionist who was also a certified LEAP therapist. What did I have to lose? That was the best decision I made. My health quickly changed. No more joint pain. My hair stopped falling out, my energy level significantly increased, and the acne greatly improved. I was like a new person. I want you to feel better too.
Shortly after I became a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) to improve the lives of men and women with a holistic dietary approach.
Here’s my nutrition background…
My nutrition journey began as a clinical dietitian at a New York City hospital providing medical nutrition therapy to a diverse population. I counseled adult patients from various multicultural backgrounds on nutrition-related diseases and healthier eating habits.
Prior to working at a hospital, I was selected as the first nutrition instructor for HealthCorps, an organization founded by Dr. Oz to educate and empower youth on diet, nutrition, and exercise.
I also worked at a non-profit health center in metro Atlanta promoting health and prevention of chronic disease with cooking demonstrations and nutrition counseling for adults and children before launching my private nutrition counseling/consulting practice, The Lifestyle Dietitian LLC.
Just a little bit more about Jerlyn…
I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and received a bachelor of science degree in Justice Studies and a master of science in public administration from Arizona State University. I continued my education at Columbia University Teachers College and received a master of science in Nutrition Education. I completed my dietetic internship at Columbia University Teachers College.
I’m an active member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Georgia Dietetic Association, and the Greater Atlanta Dietetic Association.
In my free time, I enjoy salsa dancing, practicing yoga, eating different cuisines with a glass of wine, and traveling to places with clear blue water and smooth sandy beaches.
Nutritionally Yours,
Jerlyn
