Jennifer Blau
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner
Certified Personal Trainer
NLP Master Practitioner
Jennifer started off her career in Finance, because that's what everyone in the NY metropolitan did after college. She could never ignore this urge to follow her passion for health and fitness though, so after having her first child she decided to get her personal training certification with the NSCA. However, there came the realization that nutrition is just as important, if not more important, than exercize to one's health and wellness. After years of trying to do it all and be it all, the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect trainer in perfect shape, eating the so called "perfect diet", Jennifer happened upon a nutrition course that called out her name ! Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is about getting to the root cause of your health issues, not the simple band-aid approach of covering up symptoms that reappear later in different and sometimes worse ways.
After suffering for years with low energy and vitality, struggling through her workouts and her daily activities with 3 young kids, Jennifer came to find out that
in trying to do it all she had blown out her Adrenal Glands, and was suffering from a term for adrenal exhaustion - called "Adrenal Fatigue" (also known as HPA Axis dysfunction). Her FDN coursework helped her figure that out, and heal. How ? Through lab testing of hormones and digestion, interpreting those results and implementing a protocol of DRESS : Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, and Supplementation. Jennifer now has the privilege of doing with her clients.

About Steiner Wellness and Nutrition
Steiner Wellness and Nutrition uses a holistic approach called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® that allows clients to take control of their health by seeking the root cause of imbalances in the body... such as burn out (unrelenting fatigue), stubborn weight gain, ups and downs with energy, annoying skin conditions, digestive bloating, and debilitating headaches.
Instead of just treating symptoms, Jennifer specializes in guiding clients on a one-on-one basis through a customized program to identify and eliminate their underlying problems. This is done by utilizing Functional Lab Testing and implementing the practical lifestyle and dietary changes that restore health and support long term goals!
About Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®
"Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) is a type of health detective work that seeks to identify the underlying causes of disease instead of treating symptoms. Using functional lab work, we identify healing opportunities and engage each client in a health building process using the potent, proven, professional protocols in our program. This includes Diet, Rest, Exercise, Supplements, and Stress Reduction. This natural, holistic approach yields the highest level of positive clinical outcomes. We don't medicate, we educate!"
- Reed Davis, Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®
Over 25,000 individuals have used FDN to rebuild their health.
As Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioners we use the DRESS protocol.
Diet
We address Nutrition issues, create the perfect diet for YOU (because we are all individuals), and we unlearn any bad habits that may be keeping us from our best selves.
Rest
If you haven't already heard, SLEEP is the new Kale! We will address your sleep habits including not only the amount of sleep, but the quality of your sleep.
Exercise
So many people make the simple mistake of over-doing the cardio exercise, and under (or not) doing the strength training and interval training types of exercise. If you want to achieve results like fat loss, increasing lean muscle, and changing your physique I have the plan for you. Surprisingly for some people, this might mean exercising LESS, or completely changing their exercise routine.
Supplements
Yes I DO believe we all need supplements. Modern agriculture has depleted our soil of many of its vital nutrients (vitamins and mineral), and we simply cannot get the proper nutrition we need to perform optimally from the food we eat. We must supplement. Supplements also play a role in aiding with the digestion and assimilation of the foods we eat.
Stress Reduction
Stress, Stress, Stress, Stress...we all have heard we need to manage and deal with our stress. However, when we think of dealing with Stress we tend to think of lifestyle and outside stressors. What about the HIDDEN INTERNAL stressors ? As an NLP Master Practitioner I have a toolbox of strategies to help you deal with lifestyle/outside stressors, and as an FDN Health Detective I will help you discover and heal those Hidden Internal stressors such as unbalanced hormones, digestion issues, even pathogens that are preventing you from being your optimal self.

About Health Coaching / Health Detectives
Unlike a dietitian that deals strictly with the scientific principles of nutrition, Health Coaches have a broader function. With a holistic approach to coaching, along with the understanding of dietary patterns and overall health, Health Coaches fulfill an important and distinct role in helping clients improve their health. As a Health Coach and Detective, I do not directly compete with other healthcare providers like doctors, nurses or dietitians. Instead I complement their work and share their mission of increasing the health and quality of life of our clients. With all lab testing, I provide education and a functional interpretation of the results. I encourage you to review and discuss these results and recommendations with your health care provider too. My goal is to help you be your best, regain vitality and LIFE, not limit you to one modality or approach.
