Making a baby is hard work! Our bodies go through a lot of changes and have varying nutritional needs to grow a tiny human. Proper fueling before and after a workout will make or break your results, impact your recovery. Let us teach you what to eat, and when, to maximize the benefits of your sweat session.
Whether you abstain from meat and animal products for environmental reasons, health reasons or because you're an animal lover, we'll help ensure you're getting all the nutrients you need. Reaching optimal health goes beyond taking a yoga class weekly and drinking a green juice each morning. In fact, it's the combination of small habits we make each day.

Jennifer Silverman is a holistic nutritionist who lives in Bethesda, Maryland. As an expert in nutrition and intuitive eating, she takes a 360 approach to empower her clients to take ownership of their eating choices to enrich their lives. Her high-touch approach, warmth and relatability set her apart among her peers.
We make over 300 food-related decisions every day, and every couple of years, a new diet hits the scene, touting itself as the most effective way to reach ultimate health. It's no wonder so many of us are left overwhelmed and confused about our nutrition. Even more so, eating is social, emotionally-driven, and our environment strongly influences our behavior.
Let's face it, making (and growing) a baby is hard work! Our bodies go through an array of changes, and as a result, demand special care and a lot of extra love. Jen works with women at all stages of pregnancy to enhance their nutrition and lifestyle habits, creating an environment conducive to nourishing a tiny human.
Jen believes there is nothing more valuable than feeling comfortable and confident in our own skin. While genetics impact our body composition to some extent, our food and lifestyle choices have an astounding effect on our energy levels, mood, athletic performance, and disease prevention. Jen wants to help her clients look and feel their best, without feeling deprived or frustrated.
Our eating habits and food preferences are ingrained in us from an early age. We develop patterns of eating that can be very challenging to break. Whether it's snacking in front of the television or reaching for a delicious pint of ice cream when work becomes too stressful, turning to food is all too common.

Jen is knowledgeable, patient, nonjudgemental, responsive, caring, prompt, realistic, and fun. I looked forward to our weekly sessions as Jen taught me so much about the foods I eat and the foods I should be eating. She answered all my questions in a clear way that gave me the power to make informed decisions. When I felt unsure of how to handle a certain menu or a choice at the supermarket, I could send her a text or email and receive a quick and helpful response. I had worked with a nutritionist in the past and found her suggestions unrealistic. Jen was the complete opposite. She understood that

I have been working with Jen for several years. She has been wonderful . She is always supportive and helpful, listens to my needs and develops a plan with me which accommodates my lifestyle. As a busy person who works alot and participates in several sports, she also is very flexible with squeezing me into her schedule whenever possible. … Meeting my nutritional goals have significantly improved since working with her. She's helped me figure out some small changes and tweaks which have proved to be so beneficial! She's also such a kind, open minded and caring person. I'd most definitely

Can't recommend Jen enough. She asked me very insightful questions about my daily routine, my workout regimine, and my goals and expectations for myself. I felt like her guidance and recommendations were tailored to me and felt very manageable. Not only do I still stick to the plan we set together to this day, I also feel the most healthy version of myself. 😁

Jen is very knowledgable about nutrition and fitness. She understands mom life and helps create a plan so you don't feel like you are dieting. She is always available and responsive and made the process of losing my baby weight easier. I highly recommend working with Jen and I'm available to anyone who'd like to discuss my experience.

I started working with Jen in November of 2018 after she was recommended to me by a trainer. From the first interaction of our relationship to what I now consider a friendship, Jen has been incredibly kind, caring, knowledgeable and encouraging. She has provided countless pieces of information, options for nutrition adjustments, encouragement and support 24/7. In my short time working with Jen (which included the always tough holiday season), I have seen results that I was falling short of before we started. I am so grateful to have been introduced to such a wonderful woman who really invests in

I went to Jen to help me lose the baby weight after my second child. I've always been very active and healthy but really struggled with getting back to "normal" while caring for a toddler and baby. Jen helped me get back on track and focus on the food I was eating. She helped me be more aware of when I was eating- being sure I was hungry and not just eating because I thought I had to.
I was being so harsh on myself for not being able to consistently get to the gym and not eating well when I didn't have the time. She helped me focus less on what I couldn't control and focus more on what I could

Jen is an amazingly intuitive and supportive nutritionist! Her wealth of knowledge and her refreshing holistic approach to the role of food and how to find what works best for your body has been a huge help as I train for a marathon. Jen tailors her recommendations to match your preferences, has fantastic creative suggestions that make meal prep and eating exciting— cannot recommend her enough!

I have been working with Jen for several months now. She is FANTASTIC! My challenge was to maintain my nutrition and energy for racing and performance, while trying to stay lean. I wanted to be stronger and faster, and needed nutritional assistance. I ended up leaner than expected, which was so exciting for me to achieve. I have been able to maintain a body weight lower than I expected, while being able to train hard, have energy, and feel good about what I'm doing.
