Welcome to JLD Wellness: Your Path to Lasting Health and Balance After 40

Hi friends, and welcome to the very first JLD Wellness blog post! I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Jen Desrochers, and I’ve spent over 25 years in healthcare—as both a Registered Nurse and a Nutritionist, with a Board Certification in Functional Medicine Health Coaching. Today, I combine my background in traditional medicine with holistic health coaching to help adults 40+ feel better, live healthier, and thrive. JLD Wellness was created to make integrative health coaching simple, approachable, and tailored to your needs.

Why This Work Matters to Me

This is personal. I’ve been managing my own health challenges, including hormone imbalance and diabetes, so I know how frustrating it can feel to get conflicting information or quick-fix advice that doesn’t work long-term. That’s why I focus on helping my clients create lasting lifestyle changes through a blend of functional medicine, nutrition, and holistic wellness.

Here on the blog, you’ll find resources that empower you to understand your body and take meaningful steps toward better health.

What You Can Expect

A Quick Wellness Tip to Get You Started

If you’re looking for one easy shift to try today, start with breakfast. Choosing a high-protein breakfast—like eggs, Greek yogurt, or a smoothie with protein powder—can help balance blood sugar, curb cravings, and keep your energy more consistent all day long. It’s a small step that makes a big difference!

Jennifer Desrochers, RN, BC-FHC, Nutritionist

I'm a Registered Nurse, Board Certified Functional Health Coach, and Nutritionist with over 25 years of experience helping people live healthier, more empowered lives. But I'm not just a healthcare provider- I'm also someone who lives this journey every day. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 3 years ago, and know firsthand how hard it is to manage a chronic condition while trying to live a full life. I help clients understand what's going on inside their bodies and what they can do - with food, movement, stress management, recommended laboratory testing, supplements, peptides, and herbal remedies- to feel better and function at their best.
