MS Nutrition & Wellness Consulting

Support for the everyday side of MS

Your neurologist focuses on your diagnosis and treatment. I help with what happens between appointments: what's on your plate, how you sleep, and how you handle stress and fatigue. One small step at a time.

Is this for you?

You don't have to figure this out alone

  • You're newly diagnosed and overwhelmed.
  • You're tired of feeling tired.
  • You want to know what to eat, without a 40-page diet.
  • You want support that fits your life and your treatment plan.

Meet Jen

Hi, I'm Jen Albertson

Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 27, and what began as a life-changing diagnosis became a passion for helping others. Participating in Dr. Terry Wahls' clinical trials opened my eyes to the power of nutrition and lifestyle in supporting my health. Through years of intentional changes, I've built habits that help me feel like myself again. Today, I share what I've learned through HealingERA, my podcast My Life with MS, and my book The Backpack Theory.

HealingERA is my approach to lightening the heavy burdens of chronic illness, one step at a time. It starts with controlling what we can control, and one of the most powerful choices we make every day is what goes on our plate. We Eliminate foods that may add to inflammation, Restore the nutrients your body needs, and Align your body and mindset for long-term success.

"I'm on a mission to revolutionize how we approach health and wellness with multiple sclerosis. Having battled this condition firsthand, I understand the struggles and triumphs that come with it."Jen Albertson

The ERA approach

Eliminate. Restore. Align.

  1. Eliminate

    Reduce ultra-processed foods and added sugar, and notice how foods make you feel. Focus on anti-inflammatory food principles.

  2. Restore

    Nourish your body with colorful, nutrient-dense foods, and support gut health, sleep, hydration and movement.

  3. Align

    Bring body and mind together: stress management, routines, mindset and support. Align yourself with your long-term health goals.

The order matters. You can't fully restore what you haven't first eliminated, and you can't truly align what hasn't been restored.
