Hello everyone! My name is Jenny Wurz, I am a Registered Dietitian and am very excited to be a part of the Pearls of Nutrition team! I originally hail from Texas but have fallen in love with upstate New York’s charm and am here to stay. My educational background includes a combined Bachelors, Masters, and Dietetic Internship through D’Youville College in Buffalo, New York. After graduation, I went on to complete further certification in Integrative and Functional Nutrition through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This certification has given me the tools to combine each patient’s individual digestive health, inflammation, and lifestyle factors to create the most tailored care I can, using food as medicine.
I have a great passion for Women’s Health and treating Gastrointestinal disorders. I specialize in and love providing nutrition therapy for fertility, prenatal, postpartum, premenstrual syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and more. I personally lived with undiagnosed celiac disease for over 25 years and understand the frustration of chronic digestive issues as well as how great recovery can feel! I have had the pleasure of working with patients with celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and more.
Outside of nutrition, I enjoy being outdoors, cooking (and of course eating!), traveling, and spending time with friends and family. Most weekends you can find me hiking with my husband and our two black labs, Goober and Sassafras.
