Jenna Limardo, MS, RD, CEDS
Hey there! I am so glad you are here. I am a registered dietitian and I specialize in eating disorders, intuitive eating, sport nutrition and women’s health (PCOS, pregnancy, menopause). I help clients approach health through a non-diet and weight-inclusive lens. The world is full of SO much “noise” - especially when it comes to food and bodies. I am here to help you identify food and body noise so that you can take steps forward to feel empowered and live by your own food and body values.
You only have so much brain space and I want you to be able to focus on things that matter most to you. Eating can be simple and life-giving and I know that it can improve your quality of life and performance. I believe you can feel confident in your expertise about YOUR body.
As a former collegiate athlete, lover of sand volleyball and other recreational sports - I value the role food plays as fuel in sport AND for day to day living. To learn more about working with me, reach out today.

Nutrition Philosophy
Keep it Simple
You are complex and so is your relationship to food and your body. We value that complexity and believe that together, we can get back to what the basics for YOU are. The world is noisy - especially when it comes to food and body. Our goal in our work together is to help identify and simplify that noise and empower you to make decisions that feel simple and meaningful.
Intuitive Eating
Evidence-based, weight inclusive model including 10 principles that focus on integrating body and mind awareness. The intention behind this approach is to get in-tune with physical sensations that come from within your body to help get your needs met and to identify and navigate the barriers.
All Food Fits
There are no “good and bad,” foods. It’s time to put food on an even playing field. Your body wants you to trust its abilities. It craves unconditional permission to eat any and all foods. This isn’t a thoughtless approach, but rather a practice built on awareness, individual preferences, behaviors, needs, and knowledge.
Health At Every Size
Health is independent of a number on the scale. HAES is rooted in improving access to care and how people are treated in healthcare services and everyday places and situations for people in all body shapes and sizes. The core principles include: weight-inclusivity, health enhancement, respectful care, eating for well-being, and life-enhancing movement
Your Why Matters
Your “WHY” is so important. Identifying your values is key to understanding what choices you make day to day and the motivation and intention behind those choices. Values have the ability to drive choices that result in more engaged living.
