Helping Hand Nutrition

I have never met with a nutritionist before so I had no idea what to expect. I needed nutritional advice for my endometriosis. I not only got amazing guidance on what to eat and what not to eat, I received support. Jana is kind, supportive and understanding. I have a busy schedule on top of having a 3 year old son, so making appointments was hard for me. Jana offered me phone appointments and answered any questions I had. She also answers emails quickly with any questions I forgot to ask. If you're looking for a nutritionist, Jana is the one you need to see. More...

Jana Greene Hand is my new hero! I'd previously gained 20 pounds in a very short amount of time due to depression and straight up overeating. Jana has that rare combination of obvious expertise, a very clear way of explaining exactly what I needed to do and the warmth/heart to earn my trust immediately. I've learned SO MUCH from her! I've gotten a ton of delicious suggestions/recipes in addition to really learning how to read and interpret food labels. She gave me insight on why I've been gaining weight and how to turn it right around. Sufficed to say, her advice has been incredibly successful! I've been eating more food, losing weight, enjoying what I'm eating, obliterating my cravings and not fasting/binging. Jana focuses on what you CAN eat, not what you can't. It doesn't feel restrictive in the slightest. If anything, it's the opposite. I've worked with other nutritionists in the past and I've never experienced the results that Jana Greene Hand has yielded. I can't recommend her highly enough. I finally feel like I've taken the reins back on my own health and wellness. Thank you, Jana!!! More...

I really appreciate the help that Jana gave me! I had been having constant diarrhea for about 8 months prior to seeing her, and was taking imodium every single day because I couldn't control the symptoms. I had been seeing a gastroenterologist who helped me rule out an inflammatory bowel disease, celiac, and other things before diagnosing me with irritable bowel sydrome. It was helpful to have that information prior to meeting with Jana.It was at that time that I decided I should work with a nutritionist to help with my IBS. Jana put me on the low FODMAP diet, which was very challenging but very worth it to get to where I am today. It took many months of this diet before seeing encouraging results, but I finally got to the point where I was having somewhat regular stools (without medications) and was able to successfully reintroduce foods back into my diet!Jana was also the one who suggested I request for my gastroenterologist to test me for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, which I tested positive for. I'm so thankful she had the knowledge to suggest that. This helped us figure out more appropriate ways to navigate my diet and treatments. Now about a year after first meeting with Jana, I am able to maintain an almost completely normal diet again with normal bowel habits and a better understanding of what my body can tolerate. I am so grateful for her help!The only downside is that she does not accept insurance, so paying out of pocket was somewhat expensive. However, with the help that she gave me, it was money well spent. More...

After years sending my daughter to gastroenterologists and functional medicine doctors, subjecting her to multiple restrictive diets and spending thousands of dollars on testing (SIBO, MRT, etc) - all with no result, Jana Hand is the answer we had been looking for. I only wish we had found her years prior and spared my daughter the stress.Jana Hand simplifies the process of identifying stomach issues and children's relationships with food. She is a straight shooter and has a fabulous sense of humor. Part nutritionist, part therapist for the child and the parent. She has a way of communicating that is non judgmental, relatable to a child and comforting to all.We finally feel we have a plan that its easy to follow for the whole family. The relief is incredible. I highly recommend Jana Hand if you are looking for a registered dietician for either your child or yourself. More...

I had come to a point in October last year when I was ready to take back my life and get rid of the weight that had been on my body since and because of the 1994 earthquake. I gained the weight very quickly and was never able to get beyond ten or fifteen pounds of loss. Weight watchers is a solid program but didn’t address my needs sufficiently.And finally, faced with the possibility of needing cholesterol meds... and being in the right frame of mind... I was determined to make it happen finally after 25 years.A doctor who I trust recommended Jana , I called her office, got an appointment , did an intake and waited to see her.Since that day in October, I have never looked back.And now... I open my eyes when I get on the scale in her office. You all know what that means. ;)The first day I met Jana in person, I gave her my labs, she knew my background already ... she looked at me and said, “ You don’t even know how easy this is going to be to fix.” Her statement amazed me as I asked her to repeat it!!!! And she was right.It’s a process loosing weight.... lots going on with the body.... but chances are good that if you start feeding your body the proper foods and nutrients in a timely fashion....you’ll achieve the desired results.I see her regularly and look forward to weigh ins!Just read that again!!!!I look forward to it!!!I’m not quite done yet with this part of the journey...But I’m excited still after 7 months of commitment and dedication on my part... and knowing that the education and support I get from Jana means everything to my success. It’s a pleasure and I’m so grateful for her guidance.I wish you all the same success in your journeys to health and joy! More...
