“I have a message that is changing lives… the evidence is clear: what you eat matters.”

An Authentic, Expert Voice On Nutrition

I may be a science-based dietitian, but I’m a storyteller at heart. I’ve sat through enough boring speakers with overcrowded Powerpoints to know, it’s not just information that audiences are after; it’s an engaging and motivating speaker. My audiences get to experience those “a-ha” moments when the information clicks and topics like “sugar and cancer” come to life in a way they can remember and use, whether they’re patients or professionals.

As a cancer survivor as well as a registered dietitian, I present deeply-researched evidence on the effects of nutrition on cancer cells with all the passion and fire of someone who has lived the scary realities of cancer. And as a practitioner constantly refining the clinical applications of leading nutrition research, I’m able to offer actionable, health-improving insights on topics ranging from intermittent fasting to lymphatic health.

Whether you’re an event organizer planning your next conference or a human resources professional looking to book a lunch and learn for your office, connect with me, and we’ll discuss your audience and your learning goals.

Kate Smith, Manager of Physical and Functional Programs, Wellspring Cancer Support Centres

Jean presented at our annual Primary Care Registered Dietitian conference. Her material was based on scientific based research and to enhance that was her personal story and experience. Her talk was engaging and professional and she provided the opportunity for the audience to participate and ask questions.

Lynn Augustino, Registered Dietitian and Conference Organizer

Jean has been to our GE Canada site to present to our staff on 2 occasions. Each presentation was so informative and interactive and the employees are asking to have her back again. Jean is a knowledgeable, wonderful speaker and engages the audience in her presentations. I would highly recommend Jean to present to any setting on nutrition, cancer and other topics she has expertise in.
