Hi! I am Jen Hillis, owner of JJ Nutrition. I am a Registered Dietitian (RDN), which is a nutrition expert who has completed a minimum of a bachelors degree at a U.S. regionally accredited university, completed 1200 hours of supervised practice through an ACEND accredited Dietetic Internship and passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
I have expertise in:
- Community nutrition
- Child nutrition
- Family nutrition
- Individual and group nutrition
- Counseling
- Menu planning
- Creating individualized meal plans
- Nutrition presentations
- Nutrition counseling for individuals with chronic illness
- Gestational diabetes counseling

I am a Tampa native who graduated with a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at University of North Florida and a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics at Florida State University. While getting my degree, I ran on the FSU track and cross country team and played club basketball. This experience as an athlete helped shape my view that the combination of physical activity and nutrition is the best way to stay healthy over the long term, which is something I emphasize to all of my clients.
I have worked in the health field for over 10 years, with experience offering nutrition counseling for the community, delivering nutrition presentations, and assisting with weight management. I have delivered a live virtual continuing education presentation to dietitians around the world. I’m also passionate about child nutrition, especially since I have a daughter. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion to help people reach not just short-term goals, but also long-term lifestyle changes, where individuals will love being healthy.
