Experiencia fantástica: Working with Jen has added immeasurable value to my quality of life. Her guidance is both intuitive and compassionate, and I’ve felt truly supported as I continue my wellness journey. I’m so grateful for her care and insight. Nancy

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer recently put together an excellent presentation about neural inflammation and educated my concussion team about the role of nutrients and food in concussion recovery. My team found this information extremely informative and is able to utilize this information to holistically help a wide scope of our patients. Jennifer is passionate about her field and her energy is contagious! Thank you Jennifer!!

Experiencia fantástica: Young Athletes need Jennifer in their corner! Jennifer does a wonderful job of connecting with young athletes by understanding their routines, their likes/dislikes, and even makes the process of understanding their bodies needs fun . My son, who plays high level hockey, took the guidance and put it in to practice which helped him to continue to achieve his goals around endurance and putting on weight. And Jennifer’s services don’t just stop at the consult … I can email her questions and she is always quick to respond. Every session is also followed up with an email of things we discussed & actions we agree upon. We post it on the fridge so we can all refer to it when we need her guidance.

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer McDaniel has been leading corporate seminars for our firm for nearly a decade. She covers a wide range of topics including nutrition, women’s health, bone health, sleep, and self-care. Jen is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date with current research. She’s able to communicate complex information in a way that makes it easy to understand. She is not only a professional, but also a warm, friendly, and supportive presence. Jen is positive and encouraging, and her genuine care for people makes her an absolute pleasure to work with. Seminar participants leave feeling inspired and prepared to improve their health. We are so grateful for her expertise and enthusiasm. Jen brings a bright energy into everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate nutritional guidance. She is a gem!

Experiencia fantástica: I was initially given the name of McDaniel Nutrition by my cardiologist - I did not do anything with the information for over a year and then I received a diagnosis for another serious health issue and decided to give nutrition counseling a try. Upon meeting Jennifer McDaniel I was completely at ease - her approach was comforting and without judgement. She listened to my concerns regarding my weight, my eating and relationship with food, my health concerns and short, medium and long term goals. The initial visit simply put me on path to doing better for myself. After a total of three additional visits and the genetic testing, that was offered, I was on my way to not only establishing a better way to conduct myself as it related to what I ate but I did and am maintaining it daily and the weight loss, in less than six months of nearly 40 bounds and 4 inches in my waist are proof. Jennifer made recommendations on how to build my own system for what I would consume and through her suggestions, follow up and trial and error on my part I built a plan that works and has sustained me. Throughout the series of visits Jennifer was always available with answers and advice. There is no "silver bullet" as you may know but the approach of McDaniel Nutrition has worked for me - the attitude, and goal oriented process that Jennifer helped me create along with sticking with the program we crafted has and is netting positive results.

Experiencia fantástica: Great call today with Jennifer, reviewing my genetics, my meal planning, nutrition, workouts and more! I love the work she doing with genetics and nutrition! In 3 weeks, I'm down 6 lbs, sleeping better, energized and ZERO sugar cravings lol. Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Go here if you have rare dietary needs. I was recently diagnosed with a rare metabolic disease (only 200 pts in the world), and Melissa went above and beyond researching. She was there for me in a very difficult time when I was VERY sick. She scoured medical journals, and sent me many resources. Thanks to her guidance I am now thriving. The admin. Staff and owner is equally as amazing, making sure to match me with the best fit dietician. I have graduated Melissa's care, and I am going to miss our appointments very much. She was a dietician but also in a non official way a therapist during the hardest time of my life. Bonus points for being available after hours for those that work.

Experiencia fantástica: Ellen Beuligmann has been so great in helping me make lifelong, lasting decisions for my health, and in changing my mindset to work for me.

Experiencia fantástica: After years of following one eating plan after another which were not sustainable over time, it was time to find a better way. It is funny how we think we can figure it all out on our own, when in the long run there are wonderful professionals such as Jennifer McDaniel who can save us lots of time, in the long run money, and most importantly teach about what our individual bodies need to get/stay healthy. I am in my later 50’s, healthy, and exercise regularly. Over the years I have gained weight, lost muscle and energy, and I just wasn’t feeling great. Protein, carbs, fat, fiber…I knew all four, but not how to figure a mix right for my body and which foods contained which levels. Jennifer changed all of that. She taught me about about the food I was eating - funny enough I was eating too little, not enough protein, I didn’t understand the carb mix, and really didn’t have much understanding about fiber. I don’t usually take the time to write longer reviews, but Jennifer did such a great job of helping me help myself to get healthy, build muscle - which we all lose as we age, and look so much better. With this knowledge, I can now make informed smart choices that I will be able to carry with me going forward. If you are looking for someone to give you tools to better yourself, I would highly recommend Jennifer McDaniel.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter saw Jen McDaniel. Started there to work on fueling choices for her sport and have come away with an incredible resource for my child. Could not say enough great things about Jen. She was able to bond with my daughter and to get a good feeling about what her needs were for not only her sport but for her overall well-being. My daughter looks forward to going and has been able to learn about herself and how to read her body. We are incredibly happy to have found this place for her. I, as a parent, feel incredibly lucky to have my child at a place that cares about her well-being in all capacities. Would recommend Jen to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen has been so supportive and caring. She has valuable insights and has helped me reframe my thoughts about several things, not just food! Amazingly, I don’t binge on food, and I can actually moderate my intake, which I previously thought was impossible. Jen is such a light, and I am so grateful to have found her and learn from her, even though I’m in my 70’s!

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy working with McDaniel Nutrition and my nutritionist Ellen. They meet you where you are, how you eat, what you like. The first meeting takes more time because there is more discussion about eating habits, likes, dislikes and motivations for changing lifestyle habits. This is not cookie cutter, this is personalized guidance to make the changes that you need to make. I have been consistent with weekly exercises and am still working on changing eating habits. I don't want to diet, I want to change for health and strength. Ellen has been a great cheerleader as well as helping me learn more about different types of foods and how they can affect the body. I have physically felt an improvement and that keeps me going. Thank you to McDaniel Nutrition and their personal approach to positive change.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had a wonderful experience at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy. My sessions with Ellen were incredible. I really appreciate her holistic and achievable approach to nutrition. Her coaching and encouragement were a central piece of my successes in re-defining my relationship with food and my weight struggles. Ellen helped me break the cycle of being my own harshest critic and learn how to break what seems like a huge goal into achievable pieces. I am so pleased with my experience at McDaniel and would highly recommend them to anyone who has found themselves stuck/trapped in their nutrition journey.

Experiencia fantástica: I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jennifer at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy! At our first appointment, I found Jennifer incredibly easy to talk to and open up to about the GI issues I was experiencing. In that first meeting, we came up with a comprehensive plan to help pinpoint what was triggering my flare-ups. Between appointments Jennifer made herself easily available to answer any questions I had, and to check in on how I was doing. After working together for about 6 months I'm happy to report I feel so much better, and have an understanding of what foods and stressors contribute to my stomach issues. Jennifer is a life-saver!

Experiencia fantástica: A life of poor food choices was hard to change. McDaniel Nutrition provided me with a nutrition lifestyle that supported weight loss and drastically better internal vital signs. Thanks Jennifer and staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Jen is fantastic working with our teenage runners. They run competitively and, as with a lot of runners, struggle with the proper nutrition. She connects with our daughters and is at their level. They listen to her and look forward to their nutrition discussions with her. My daughters look forward to telling her about their PRs and she celebrates with them as they continue to excel. My daughters/fam love Jen and are so thankful for being referred to her!

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer called me before my appointment to make sure she was not going to waste my time and she was so helpful and kind in how she asked me questions and pointed me in the right direction for my goals for free. She answered my questions and gave me resources; while she determined the appointment was not necessary, I will be glad to make one if need be.

Experiencia fantástica: I struggled with losing weight that I put back on and realized I couldn’t do it on my own. I liked McDaniel Nutrition because they were willing to work with me no matter what my goals were or where I was at in my life. My nutritionist, Nikki, was awesome and I really enjoyed working with her! She never lectured me about what I should or should not be doing but really talked to me about what I was doing and what changes I needed to make in order to achieve my weight goal. More importantly, I didn’t have to buy food or meals from a company, but she taught me about portions, food and how to make/plan healthy, balanced meals as well as the best type of exercise for someone my age. I would highly recommend McDaniel Nutrition and Nikki!

Experiencia fantástica: After having life long issues with my gut, I decided to see a dietitian. I’m SO grateful I found Nikki. She has changed my life! I can actually enjoy life again and have a better understanding of what I can put in my body. Highly recommend McDaniel Nutrition!

Experiencia fantástica: Nikki F is a wonderful dietitian. She is very caring and a wonderful listener. She compassionately listens to your concerns and meets you where you’re at while continuing to realistically challenge you to move forward. I haven’t worked with her too long but in the short time I’ve been with her she’s helped me so much. Her recommendations are realistic and push me to move forward. I would definitely recommend Nikki at McDaniel Nutrition. You won’t regret it!!

Experiencia fantástica: The entire team at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy is absolutely extraordinary. Each of the dietitians treat their clients like old friends, and work extremely hard to research current nutritional information and stay up to date in their practices. They are all so empathetic and understand the challenges that come along with a healthy lifestyle. As their office manager, I have watched the dietitians build a personal relationship with every person who walks through their door. I see how they work tirelessly each day to sustainably improve the lives of their clients. I truly believe that McDaniel Nutrition is the best group of dietitians in the Midwest.

Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to learn more about nutrition in general and more specifically the right eating habits and foods for my needs. I worked with Haley to accomplish these goals and feel extremely satisfied and grateful with the guidance and expertise she provided. I highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen is absolutely amazing! I have been struggling with my relationship with food for my entire life. After a lot of patience on her part, Jen changed the way I saw myself and food. She created a personalized food and workout routine that fit into the hectic life of a college student. The biggest difference for me, was that she truly taught me to be kind to myself and to love myself. She taught me that if one day you slip up and eat too much cake, you just enjoy that you had the cake, be healthier the next day, and most importantly do not punish yourself or feel ashamed, because there is no reason to. Jen you are the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Jen does truly amazing work!

She's an awesome person on top of being a great dietitian!

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer gave tangible tips that could be implemented with my work schedule that consists of crazy travel. She understands it’s not a one size fits all approach and was ready to modify based on what worked best for me. She truly gave me back peace of mind in my digestive health! Absolutely recommend - no matter where you’re at in your nutrition journey :)

Experiencia fantástica: I've been around Jennifer in the triathlon community for more than 7 years and a client for more than 3 years. Jennifer is a consistent, reliable, and reassuring nutrition coach as my wife and I navigate our lives. Whether it is endurance goals, pressures from life and work, or basic nutrition needs Jennifer has been a partner in our journey the entire way. We have used Jennifer for learning our metabolic rates, calorie consumption, macros, weight loss goals, and making wiser meal choices. We've even had Jennifer to our house to audit the food in our kitchen. She uses her knowledge to accommodate our lifestyle and goals while pushing us closer to the healthy lives we want to live. She is supportive and understanding of the challenges we face. Not only does she coach on nutrition, she takes the time to understand what is driving your behaviors. I've had many conversations with her about choices I was making and experiences I was having had that nothing to do with nutrition. In short, she facilitates the healthy life changes we are seeking.

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen Jen and her colleague Mary three different times over the last six years. Initially I saw Jen for sports nutrition to maximize my nutrition during marathon training initially. I saw Jen a second time during my first pregnancy with my twins. I was able to exercise and have a very healthy pregnancy due to my knowledge of healthy eating thanks to Jen. Lastly I saw Jen’s team for weight loss after my last pregnancy. She provided realistic, affordable, family friendly and most importantly quick meals that I can eat and also feed my family. I work full time and she helps me find meals and snacks that I can eat quick while working or driving. As a physical therapist, I refer many patients to McDaniel nutrition. So many people don’t have the true knowledge of healthy eating and how it affects his/her healing after an injury. I have had luck getting some insurances to help cover nutrition services or using a medical flex saving account. I can’t say enough great things about McDaniel Nutrition both personally and professionally!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had a wonderful experience at McDaniel Nutritional Therapy. Jen has been kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my time working with her. Her approach to nutrition and weight loss is practical and approachable, and she has always made me feel like I had the information and support I need to make real, lasting progress. If you're interested in working with a nutritionist for any reason, I would highly recommend Jen and McDaniel Nutritional Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen McDaniel is the gold standard in her field. I have 100% confidence that she will provide my client referrals with individualized attention, informed and up to the date research, compassion, kindness and respect for the struggles they bring. I recommend her without reservation.

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer McDaniel has helped me get unstuck on my nutrition journey. She has the unique ability to narrow in to help me set goals for my situation and then work with me achieve to them. She is well versed in her field and is able to break down that knowledge in a way that it easy to understand. I highly recommend her if you need help getting where you want to be.

Experiencia fantástica: Mary W is fabulous! I came into my first session very narrow minded, thinking I just wanted to lose weight and that would make me feel better about myself. Mary quickly taught me that self worth is beyond body image and she helped me develop life style changes that have lasted longer than any diet I have tried. I'm very excited to continue to my work with her!

Experiencia fantástica: I started working with Jen McDaniel for weight loss and sport nutrition. Jen developed a program specifically for me that balances my nutritional needs to achieve both those goals. I couldn't have done it without her. If you need help, she is the first person I would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Having spent years suffering at the hands of a GI issue, my doctor encouraged me to alter my diet drastically in hopes of healing. Though I thought I could conquer the change on my own, it became very overwhelming, very quickly. McDaniel Nutrition Therapy was recommended to me, and after our first meeting, I haven’t looked back. The team at MNT not only broke down this special diet in manageable terms, but they gave me the tools and resources I needed to maintain it on a daily basis. Jennifer personally checked in with me, was a consistent voice of encouragement and made sure to follow-up as time progressed. Months later, I’m a different person. My GI team is encouraged by my progress, and I don’t feel burdened by the weight of ‘eliminating’ foods from my diet. I now view this change as an opportunity to try new things and be creative in the kitchen. There are definitely still days which are harder than others, but again, I know that I have a solid team behind me who will be there to help guide when I need it most. I could not recommend MNT with a higher vote of confidence.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen's corporate lunch and learn seminars are always engaging with lots of practical take-aways to implement in everyday living.

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer and her team have really helped me to hone in on the best way to fuel my swim, bike, and run training and racing. She makes it simple and easy to follow and implement! I'd highly recommend McDaniel Nutrition Therapy to all athletes and non-athletes alike.

Experiencia fantástica: Personal care… Great recipe ideas… So well informed… And fun!!

Experiencia fantástica: Jen has helped me a lot with nutrition planning for weight loss and marathon training. She has given me a nutrition plan with macro goals that fit my needs, and practical advice to help implement the plan. She has been very easy to work with, and responsive to my questions between sessions. So far I’ve lost 15 pounds with no signs of stopping.
