Testimonials
I understood how to eat before, I worked out 5 days a week, did all the right things and nothing happened… I lost 15lbs with Jackie because she finds what is holding you back and fixes it.

It’s so great to have someone that actually hears you out and wants to fix things and not just medicate
-S.R
I was dealing with weight loss resistance for 2 years, I ate clean and exercised 4-5x/week- I had always been told my labs were fine and was feeling so down on myself. Now after working with Jaclyn I’m down 20lbs.
-M.G
What makes her so special isnt just her knowledge, its her ability to see the whole person...And she has been a gift for helping people like me feel hopeful again…Something missing from modern medicine .
-S.B
Working with Jackie was truly life-changing. I struggled with perimenopause symptoms—weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, hot flashes, and irritability—that left me feeling unlike myself. In just 12 weeks, Jackie’s program completely shifted my health.
Through labs, a personalized eating plan, and targeted supplements, I finally understood how to fuel my body. The weight started coming off, my energy returned, and I felt lighter, happier, and healthier—all without medication.
Even six weeks after finishing, I’m still at my goal weight and confident in how to eat for lasting results. Jackie’s guidance, accountability, and resources are a gift. I cannot recommend her enough

Jaclyn Ventre, RD, CDN
Founder
Functional & Integrative Dietitian
With over 25 years combined experience in functional and integrative nutrition, we specialize in helping women decode the real reasons behind their symptoms—so they can finally get answers, feel better, and take back control of their health.
At Gut First Nutrition, we run comprehensive in depth labs to get to the root cause. We use functional nutrition protocols that support your gut, nourish your adrenals, thyroid, and liver detox pathways. Instead of restrictive diets that stall your metabolism, we teach you how to fuel your body the right way so you never have to ‘diet’ again.
From stubborn weight gain and chronic fatigue to bloating, hormone imbalances, and heightened anxiety, we’ve seen how often these concerns are brushed off in conventional medicine, especially in the “peri” and “meno” phases of life.
WE'RE HERE TO CHANGE THAT!
Symptoms aren’t random - they’re messages. With the right testing we can decode them and uncover what’s truly driving the dysfunction.
