Meet Jacqui Justice, MS, CNS, CDN
When I was in my twenties, I was trapped in a cycle of exhausting wellness issues: debilitating gut problems, food sensitivities, erratic energy, and a compromised immune system. Traditional approaches only chased symptoms. It wasn't until I discovered the field of Functional Nutrition and uncovered the actual root causes of my dysfunction that I finally reclaimed my vitality.
That breakthrough changed my trajectory completely. I left a career in the fashion world, earned my Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition, and dedicated my life to helping others experience that same profound relief. Opening my practice in 1996 remains one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Even after nearly three decades in private practice and working with over 200,000 women through my clinic and programs, my passion is unchanged. If I won the mega jackpot tomorrow, I’d still be doing this exact work—just perhaps with an ocean view.
Clinical Expertise You Can Trust
My recommendations are grounded in science, 30 years of clinical experience, and a practical, root-cause approach that actually works in the real world:
• Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York Medical College.
• Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist in Connecticut and New York.
• Advanced Training in Functional Clinical Nutrition through Designs for Health.
• Host & Educator: Over a decade co-hosting wellness radio broadcasts and authoring popular digital courses including Shedding Your Menopausal Middle and What to Eat Over 40.
My Philosophy: Balance Over Deprivation
Life is meant to be lived, not spent in an endless exercise of restriction.
You won't find extreme rules here: I will never ask you to give up your morning coffee, miss out on an occasional treat, or pass on a celebratory craft cocktail. I live by an 80/20 lifestyle because rigid perfectionism is unsustainable and counterproductive.
Here is what guides my practice:
Root Causes Over Symptom Chasing: In the body, everything is connected. Your weight struggles, sleeplessness, brain fog, and shifting mood are intimately tied to your gut, liver, adrenals, and nervous system.
Test, Don’t Guess: Trial and error is an exhausting game. We use comprehensive blood chemistry analysis and advanced functional testing to see what your biochemistry is doing at a cellular level.
Food Is Information, Not Math: Counting calories and weighing food is exhausting and disconnects you from your body. We focus on nutrient quality, metabolic balance, and identifying silent food sensitivities that trigger chronic inflammation.
Mindset Is the Keystone: Diet and lifestyle protocols fail long-term when the nervous system and mindset are ignored. Creating permanent wellness requires getting your head, heart, and habits into alignment.
Who I Work With
My practice is primarily dedicated to women in midlife who are ready to make sense of the hormonal havoc, shed stubborn belly fat, heal disruptive gut issues, and finally feel like themselves again.
We are likely a perfect match if:
• You are tired of being dismissed and told your symptoms are "just part of getting older."
• You want a collaborative, clinical detective who digs into your unique lab work.
• You are ready to make targeted, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes.
A quick note on how I practice:
My clinical protocols rely on nutrient-dense, bio-individual nutrition. If you are seeking extreme caloric restriction (under 1,200 calories per day), strict vegan/carnivore plans, or simply want to weigh food and count macros, my approach will not be the best fit for your goals.
