Jen Willems NP-C, PLLC

Jen made me feel incredibly comfortable from our very first meeting. She has a calm, welcoming presence that immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was the time she took to truly listen and her thoughtful follow-up throughout the process. Her holistic approach to women’s health goes beyond treating symptoms—she looks at the whole picture, creating a personalized and supportive experience. I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.

Working with Jen has changed my life. I’ve lost weight, discovered I had a thyroid issue and got my hormones in balance. My husband became a patient too and similarly has lost weight, learned of a thyroid condition, and treated hormone issues for him. Thanks Jen for the new lease on life. We both have renewed energy and feel so much better overall.

I tried everything. For the last 15 years I had made no less than 40 appointments with primary care providers, endocrinologists, weight loss physicians, sleep specialists and nutritionists to address my weight gain and extreme fatigue. I was eating healthy, exercising regularly and my blood tests came back "normal." Before kids, I was told to eat less and exercise more. I was put on prescriptions for depression, anxiety, and weight loss medications like phentermine and metformin. I couldn't sleep and felt terrible (and was continuing to gain weight). After kids, I was generally told that this is normal to gain weight, have trouble sleeping and to feel depleted. Nothing could be done and I needed to lower my expectations that my energy levels and weight would ever be improved. I couldn't imagine being a mom to two active boys, married to a great guy and working full time. I considered quitting my job, I considered bariatric surgery, I considered giving up. I couldn't imagine trying to keep up with this life I wanted and created, but my body was just saying no, and all the experts were saying I couldn't. I finally tried functional health and met Jen. It was the first time I think a provider has ever stopped and looked me in the eyes while I was describing the journey I'd been on and the frustration I felt. She did some more in-depth testing, and right away was able to diagnose some hormonal imbalances impacting my weight and sleep. After some initial discussions on medications and gut health, we were able to get it dialed in. Within a few weeks, I felt noticeably better. It's been about 9 months, I'm down almost 30 lbs, I have a ton more energy, I can sleep through the night and I'm like a different person. I can't describe how thankful I am to have crossed paths with Jen. I have a new lease on life!
