Helping Hand Nutrition by Jana Greene Hand, MS, RD

After many years of yo yo dieting, I decided I needed a change and guidance from a true professional, which is why in late 2022 I was referred to Jana by my primary doctor.

Jana is a true expert at her craft and truly understands the physical and emotional science behind a healthy lifestyle. She is a great problem solver and great at thinking outside of the box to customize your plan to achieve your goals.

In the past 1.5 years, I have lost 20 pounds in a slow and steady fashion, which is something that I was never able to do when I was doing ridiculous fad diets and starving myself in the past.

Jana is absolutely the best!!! Give her a call ASAP!

Jana has been a guiding light in my son's journey towards better nutrition and wellness. Her expertise, empathy, and personalized approach have made all the difference. Jana was very patient and each step of the way she adjusted the plan based on what he needed. With her support, my son has not only improved his eating habits but also his overall well-being. I'm deeply grateful for Jana’s dedication and passion for helping her clients thrive.

Jana's knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to both me and my family. In particular, Jana has helped my teenage son learn how to eat healthily by teaching him about different food groups, what his body needs for energy and providing lots of options. This is a challenge since he does not like a lot of foods and food groups. Jana's easy going manner, encouraging way, and positive and reinforcing attitude have brought success to my son. He feels safe and encouraged when talking with Jana. She is also so creative and always comes up with great ideas no matter what! I highly recommend Jana for both kids and adults.

Jana is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her demeanor, attentiveness, and keen sense of what her clients need is truly apparent. She has been so helpful to me as well as to my preteen daughter. Her ability to engage with my daughter in such an understanding manner which is helping to promote a life-long healthy relationship with food, is very impressive. We are so grateful to be working with her and highly recommend her.

It takes a village, and Jana needs to be in your village! Jana came into our lives at precisely the right time! My kiddo struggled through the COVID era, got behind in school, struggled with depression, and wasn't eating right or getting much exercise (gained about 30 lbs. over 3 years). Jana wrapped her in a "tough-love hug" and taught her the importance of movement and healthier eating. There was no calorie counting, blind weigh-ins (no numbers on the scale. Electronic scale transmits records to Jana), sensible eating, and any kind of movement to begin with. Jana encouraged her to do the things she likes for exercise (walking the dogs, roller skating, riding her bike around the block, skipping, whatever she enjoys). After a while, my kiddo was making better food choices and planning ahead for lots of meals and snacks she could make on her own (when necessary). She is down 3 clothing sizes, exercises daily (and loves doing it!). She is feeling confident again, and is thriving in school!

I cannot say enough about how much Jana has helped her get back on track. She connected with my kiddo in a way that I wasn't able to, and I know the impact Jana has had on her will last a lifetime!

Thank you, Jana!
