Jessica Edelglass, RD in West Newton

Jessica is the best! I've lost 22 lbs so far after working with her. Not only is she really knowledgeable, she also works with me tailor things to my life. I really like Chipotle but I was eating 1000+ calories and very high in carbs whenever I went there. Jessica and I were able to work out how to eat differently there but in a way that still tasted delicious. She's understanding and helpful beyond words! She works with me on obtainable goals based on where I am so it's not overwhelming. If you're even considering working with her, do it. She schedules over e-mail (phone too). Also, her practice is above a Trader Joe's so I usually meet with Jessica then grocery shop which is really convenient.

Prior to working with Jessica I lived off of protein bars and the occasional piece of fruit. My body and athletic performance where less than what they should have been. I suffered from a lot of body dysmorphic and anorexic tendencies. I felt that food was the devil and should be avoided as much as possible. I would have anxiety attacks around eating a real meal especially in public. Working with Jess we redefined what food needs to be for me, it has been life changing. I have reaped many benefits, I eat real food not from a package, and my athletic performance has reached a new level. While working with Jess I represented the United States at the World Maccabi games in Tiberius Israel and brought home hardware. I competed at the CRASH-B indoor world rowing championship placing top 5 in my age and weight class. Jess is one of the most dedicated compassionate thoughtful driven people I have ever worked with. I can’t think of another nutritionist who will text you back at 5 am to help you calculate what to eat prior to competition or remain a shoulder to lean on during the weeks leading up to an event. Anyone who has asked who I am working with to reach my weight and athletic goals without hesitation I recommend Jess. She will give you all the tools you need to make whatever your goal is achievable and hold your hand in every way possible through it.
