Jessica Brown - Clinical Nutritionist, Self-Compassion teacher, and author of Beyond The Shot and The Loving Diet
More than a nutritionist. A new framework for midlife health.
I help women navigate midlife with a blend of evidence-based nutrition, GLP-1 guidance, menopause support, gut healing, and compassion-based identity work. My approach combines clinical precision with emotional depth so you can understand your symptoms, make confident decisions, and feel grounded in your changing body.
I am a leader in midlife metabolic health, menopause longevity, and GLP-1 treatment support. I translate complex labs, emerging metabolic research, gut and immune data, and hormone shifts into clear and personalized plans. As a Stanford-certified Compassion Cultivation educator, I also help women build emotional resilience, self-trust, and a healthier relationship with food and body.
My work integrates the biology of midlife with the psychology of identity change.
This is science you can trust and support you can feel.
This is a new model for midlife health rooted in clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.

Beyond The Shot: Inner Work for Lasting Success on Weight Loss Medications
Available Now!
Beyond the Shot: Inner Work for Lasting Success on Weight Loss Medications explores the psychological and emotional dimensions of GLP-1 therapy, offering readers practical tools to build lasting change alongside the physical effects of medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound™.
The book begins by acknowledging the profound impact these drugs can have in quieting “food noise” and reducing cravings, while also raising the deeper questions that surface once the urgency around eating subsides: How do I navigate body image changes? What if I fear weight regain? How do I sustain results in the long term?
Drawing on her clinical experience as a nutritionist and compassion teacher, Jessica Brown presents a framework for addressing these challenges through evidence-based therapeutic approaches. The book introduces self-compassion practices to help readers break cycles of shame and self-sabotage, along with reparenting strategies that uncover and shift the early beliefs driving their relationship with food. It also addresses identity transformation, body acceptance, and emotional resilience, offering readers practical techniques for managing stress and life transitions without relying on food.
Designed for individuals currently using GLP-1 medications, those considering tapering off, and those navigating life after treatment, Beyond the Shot positions itself as the first comprehensive guide to the inner work needed for sustainable change. It avoids diet prescriptions and quick fixes, instead presenting a compassionate roadmap that meets readers where they are and guides them toward greater freedom and confidence in their bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be “more than a nutritionist” in midlife care?
I combine evidence-based functional medicine nutrition with GLP 1 guidance, menopause and perimenopause support, gut restoration, and compassion-based identity work. This approach looks at the whole woman so you can understand your symptoms, emotional patterns, and physiology within one integrated framework.
How do GLP-1 medications affect midlife health?
GLP-1 medications influence appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility, and emotional eating patterns. During midlife, these changes interact with shifting hormones. I help women understand what is happening in their bodies and create a personalized plan so they can feel in control and informed at every step.
What is GLP-1 emotional and identity work?
Many women find that as their appetite quiets, deeper emotional patterns and old beliefs surface. Identity can shift during weight loss and metabolic healing. My work includes compassion-based tools, mindfulness, and behavior change that help you feel supported and grounded as you evolve.
Can you help me understand my lab results?
Yes. I translate complex lab data, including hormone panels, metabolic markers, gut tests, inflammatory markers, micronutrient labs, and GLP-1 related metrics, into clear and actionable guidance. My goal is to help you understand your data and make confident decisions.
How does menopause affect metabolism?
Perimenopause and menopause influence insulin sensitivity, body composition, appetite regulation, inflammation, gut health, and sleep. I help women understand these shifts and create personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support strength, energy, and long-term metabolic health.
What is gut restoration, and why does it matter in midlife?
Gut health affects immunity, hormones, inflammation, mood, and metabolism. Midlife is often a time when gut symptoms or food sensitivities appear or worsen. I use a step-by-step method to repair digestion, rebuild the microbiome, and support the gut-brain connection.
Do you support emotional eating or stress-related eating?
Yes. I blend compassion tools, mindfulness, and identity work to help women understand the emotional drivers of eating, reduce shame, and create a healthier relationship with food.
Do you offer guidance for women who are not on GLP-1 medications?
Absolutely. My work supports midlife health whether or not medications are involved. Many women come to me for menopause support, metabolic repair, gut healing, autoimmune nutrition, or identity and emotional resilience.
Can you work with me if I am already under the care of a doctor?
Yes. Many clients work with me as part of their broader health care team. I help you understand your lab results, metabolic data, and treatment plan so that you can be an informed and confident partner in your care.
Do you work virtually?
Yes. I work with clients through virtual sessions, educational programs, and personalized consultations.
