Meet Jennifer Insel, MS, RDN
Jennifer’s road to becoming a premier registered dietitian nutritionist in New York began at a young age, learning from her father, the rare Cardiologist who truly practices what he preaches. Fast forward, she went on to receive her undergraduate degree in Communications from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also electively took nutrition courses from their top ranked Nursing School.
Jennifer continued her career working for Affiliated Physicians, in its’ Corporate Wellness and Flu Shot program. During this time, she took post-baccalaureate courses in Nutrition and the Sciences. Shortly thereafter, she was accepted into the comprehensive Master’s Program in Clinical Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University. While at NYU, Jennifer volunteered under the Clinical Nutrition Manager in the Dietetics department at Lenox Hill Hospital. In addition, she took Nutrition Counseling electives, taught Nutrition Education to under-served children and had an eye-opening, life-changing experience while studying the Mediterranean Diet in Italy.
Furthermore, throughout Jennifer’s career and studies, she has utilized her Communications background to write about current issues in nutrition, fitness, health and immunity. She also gained nutrition focused media expertise from various nutrition-related start-ups she worked at throughout her time in graduate school.
In addition to her Masters in Clinical Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, Jennifer is a certified Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Health and Nutrition (IIN), obtained certification from Kerri Glassman’s The Nutrition School (TNS) and completed her Dietetic Internship through Wellness Workdays to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).
Jennifer never stops working on improving and keeping up to date on the latest issues, trends and science within the nutrition and wellness field. Jennifer is extremely affable, non-judge mental and easy to talk to. Those qualities combined with her intellect, outstanding talent, compassion and experience make Jennifer, at JBI Nutrition, the right choice for your nutrition and wellness needs.

Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable and can help you lead a healthy life while still enjoying what you eat! I was recently struggling with extreme physical discomforts and it was Jennifer who recognized my issues were likely GI related, GERD specifically. She referred me to a great GI doctor and sure enough, I was diagnosed with GERD. I had a difficult time finding a good nutritionist after my diagnosis with GERD, but she helped me craft a plan personalized to me and easy to follow. She is not only a great nutritionist, but also has a great personality – she really cares about what is important to you and always has a positive attitude. As she says, “everything in moderation – even moderation!” I always look forward to my appointments with her and grateful for her guidance.

In just one session Jennifer helped me make a significant difference in my eating habits, and over the course of three sessions she helped me identify and understand small choices I could make that would have a big impact. When we first met, I told her my overall challenge, and she lead me through a discussion of my eating habits and concerns. She asked simple questions and, based on my responses, gave me immediate steps to take. She kept each change small and thus achievable. It is now one year later, and I am sticking with the plan we outlined together. She really made a difference for me!
