⁠
🙌🏼I’m ready to support you with that.⁠
⁠
I’ve put my own symptoms (including PCOS and Endometriosis) into remission, and have supported over 500+ women in healing their bodies and getting their health back, too.⁠ I even got pregnant naturally with PCOS at 37.⁠

⁠

Functional medicine SAVED MY LIFE.⁠
⁠
In 2012, I was hospitalized because of a ruptured ovarian cyst that took off a piece of my o***y causing me to hemorrhage. I was on honeymoon in Thailand & thank God I got to the hospital on time. ⁠
⁠
After this incident,I continued to get large ovarian cysts at least once a year, & the only solution my OB/GYN gave me was to “take the pill”. ⁠
⁠
Instead, I listened to my intuition and sought other solutions. I’m so glad I did. ⁠
⁠
That’s why I went back to school to study nutrition & women’s health – & applied what I learned from my studies to myself. And you know what? I got better. ⁠
⁠
⁠Functional medicine helped me regain control of my symptoms like intense mood swings, , weight gain, , & digestive issues that were ruining my life.⁠
⁠
I will shout functional medicine from the rooftops because it’s the only thing I know that looks at both the evidence & your individual body to systematically heal hormonal imbalances.It’s also the only method I’ve found to eliminate frustrating symptoms like debilitating migraines, painful periods, & intense mood swings.⁠
⁠
📊In my 1:1 Root Cause Program, we test your minerals, your gut and hormones to understand what’s going on with YOUR body at a micro-level. I’ve been specially trained to interpret these exact tests & we’ll meet 1:1 over the course of 5-6 months to go over your results & come up w/ a tailored game-plan for you. ⁠⁠
💪🏼Working 1:1 with a functional practitioner will challenge you – you’ll have to show up fully for our sessions and COMMIT to the game plan we create together, including the food and lifestyle adjustments that come with it. But I know that if you give me 5 months & show up for these sessions, it will change your life & the way you feel each day. (It’ll also be WAY simpler than trying to figure this out on your own or worse, working w/ a provider who knows nothing about hormones or women’s health.)⁠

1. The Truth About Hormonal Birth Control
Hormonal birth control doesn’t just shut down ovulation, it disconnects women from their bodies, intuition, and even personalities.

Coming off it after 10 years felt like meeting the real me. I even liked different types of men. (And thank God I chose my partner off the pill.)
explains this in This Is Your Brain on Birth Control.

Physically, it’s no better:

Progestin, the synthetic version of progesterone, increases risk of breast cancer, anxiety, and depression and offers none of the real hormone’s benefits

Every year you don’t ovulate, you lose ~1% of your bone density (Dr. Jerilynn Prior) Think about how many women are on the pill for decades. That’s not benign.

2. Your period app can’t tell you when you ovulate. So turn off the ovulation prediction and start to get to know your cycle like a big girl. Stop relying on AI or tech to tell you what your body is doing or feeling and start connecting to your cyclical hormonal rhythm. After you do this you’ll notice downloads and synchronicities like never before.

3. If you’re in perimenopause stop taking advice from influencers or practitioners in their 20s who have no clue what it’s like to be in perimenopause. What works for them is not going to work for you.

4. IVF can be a godsend for some couples and it’s amazing that it exists. But most couples don’t actually need it.

Too many are rushed into IVF without a proper workup. Underlying conditions like endometritis, endometriosis, and mismanaged PCOS often go undiagnosed, making both natural conception and IVF less likely to succeed.
Before jumping into IVF, make sure you:

⭐️Work with a practitioner who understands hormones, gut health, and minerals

⭐️Consider a laparoscopy or hysteroscopy with a fertility-focused surgeon (follow for more on this)

Why your go-to hormone hacks aren’t working anymore 👇🏼

If you’re 35+ and still trying to “balance your hormones” with the same tools from your 20s-
like seed cycling, vitex, or that trendy $80 supplement blend…but your symptoms are getting worse?

👉🏼 It’s not you. It’s perimenopause.

Perimenopause is a normal, natural transition where your s*x hormones start to decline-and the old tricks just don’t cut it anymore.

Common signs you’re in it:
• Weight gain with no lifestyle changes
• Anxiety (especially before your period)
• PMS that feels next-level
• Insomnia
• Sore breasts
• Joint pain
• Low libido
• Headaches
• Heavier or more frequent periods

The problem? Most women have no idea what’s going on-and they’re left feeling frustrated, dismissed, or overwhelmed.

That’s exactly why I created the Perimenopause Survival Guide-to help you finally get answers.

Inside, you’ll get:
✅ A quiz to help you know if you’re in perimenopause
✅ Functional test recommendations (so you’re not told “everything’s fine” when it’s not)
✅ Actionable tools to support mood, metabolism, sleep, digestion & more

📩 Comment GUIDE below and I’ll send it your way for free.

You don’t need a magic pill.

You need real tools that meet you where you are-right now. Let’s get you feeling like you again.

5 things to start doing NOW if you’re truing to conceive a baby asap 👶⁠
⁠
1. Red Light Therapy- Implementing 10-12 mins of red light therapy over your womb daily (during your follicular phase) can help stimulate blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, as well as promote egg integrity and mitochondrial health. Did you know the female egg is the largest cell in the human body and the richest in mitochondria?/⁠
⁠
2. Castor Oil Packs- Wear a castor oil pack over your abdomen 4-5 times a week to stimulate blood flow to your ovaries and uterus. They also can help break up scar tissue and break down cysts, which can impede fertility. If you are currently TTC, discontinue after ovulation. My fave reusable castor oil packs are from .⁠
⁠
3. Acupuncture- Acupuncture promotes blood flow to the ovaries and uterus. Are you picking up on a a common theme here? 😉 There is a TON of research showing that acupuncture increases rates of healthy pregnancies in IVF & IUI, which is why most fertility clinics recommend it. ⁠
⁠
4. Optimize Gut Health - If you have gut issues, like bloating, constipation, gas, etc, don’t ignore these! Gut imbalances and infections like parasites, yeast overgrowth, opportunistic bacteria overgrowth, and gram negative bacteria (like h.pylori) can damage egg and s***m quality and change pH balance of va**na and cervical mucus. These imbalances can make it difficult to conceive or maintain pregnancies. This is why I run a comprehensive stool test on all of my clients.⁠
⁠
5. Antioxidant Support - We want the best quality egg and s***m when it comes to conception. Remember- it’s quality over quantity (basically don’t put too much emphasis on that AMH test ok babe?). My fave antioxidant support is ubiquitol CoQ10 400 mg 5 days on & 2 days off, Egg Support for her & for him S***m Support, & NAC is also an excellent one to add. ⁠

Did you know 1 in 5 couples face fertility challenges?⁠
⁠
If you’re facing infertility, know you are not alone. ⁠
⁠
Far too many couples struggling with infertility are told 1 of 2 extremes:⁠
To “just keep trying”⁠
Or to jump straight into expensive treatments like IUI and IVF — without ever exploring why conception isn’t happening in the first place.⁠
⁠
But here’s the truth no one is saying loud enough: There’s often more to the story. We know there is always a ROOT CAUSE. Some of the more common root causes of infertility are:⁠
⁠
✅ Poor egg or s***m quality⁠
✅ Gut infections⁠
✅ Autoimmune conditions⁠
✅ Hormonal imbalances⁠
✅ Nutrient deficiencies⁠
✅ Chronic stress⁠
✅ And more...⁠
⁠
These are real, root-cause issues that traditional fertility care often overlooks.⁠
⁠
This is why I created The Pregnancy Package — a comprehensive, 5-month 1:1 program designed to uncover the why behind your fertility struggles and build a clear, natural path forward for both partners.⁠

You have a thyroid receptor in every cell of your body. Think about that. It’s pretty important & an integral part of healthy ovulation, implantation, & a full term pregnancy.

If you’re trying to conceive & it’s not happening, or you are having recurring miscarriages, make sure you get a FULL thyroid panel.

I can’t tell you how many clients who’ve come to me who have been told their thyroid is normal & have unexplained infertility, yet when we test their thyroid it is far from healthy.

This is what you want tested:👇🏼

TSH
Free T3
Free T4
TPO & TGAB (to rule out Hashimotos)

05/30/2025

As a functional practitioner focused on hormone balance, fertility, and disease prevention, I eat very healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle. This is why I choose not to inject my face with fillers or botox, as paying for toxins to be put into my body is counterintuitive to my longterm goal of longevity and wellness.

I’ve read enough about the negative side effects of botox on the nervous system and endocrine system, and it’s just not in alignment with my lifestyle.

However, at 39, I still want to age gracefully and keep my skin as youthful as possible.

Since Beautycounter closed their doors, I have been using a new skincare line the past 6 months, and I’ve been blown away by the results.

The powerful plant based serums from has minimized my pores, reduced fine lines (my brow lines and crow’s feet are almost undectectable) and evened out my skin tone. I saw a difference within just one week. I have never experienced anything like it.

Herbal Face Food is made of potent plant powered ingredients packed with anti-oxidants and phytonutrients that heal skin at the cellular level.

Look, I was skeptical at first. But then I tried it for myself.

This stuff works.

Even better, until May 30th, you get 30% off your entire purchase with code JENNALONGORIA, and when you buy a 10ml bottle of their Serum or Cure, you get an automatic upgrade to a 30 ml bottle.

👋🏼 Comment FACE & I’ll DM you the link!

Please not the upgrade will not appear at checkout but you will be sent a 30 ml bottle. This brings you about $200 in savings and is the best sale I’ve seen yet on their products.

My Herbal Face Food nighttime routine includes:

1. After cleansing, Serum II on my face ( I recommend starting with Serum I because it takes time to build up a tolerance to the strength of Serum II)
2. Cure X all over my face after the Serum II soaks in
3. The Eye cream (this stuff is potent so a little goes a long way. One bottle lasts 6 months)

To the boy who made me a mother. Who cracked me open and allowed me to know what it was like to live selflessly. Who brought love into my life again after being widowed.

Motherhood for me came with lots of mixed emotions. I find out I was pregnant & shortly after I awakened to the reality that the relationship with his bio father was not going to survive.

Being a single mother was hard. To go to midwife appointments alone, Hypnobirthing alone, give birth without a partner, & all the night feedings solo was difficult. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Luckily, when Leo was only 7 months, we met my now husband who is the best Dad anyone could ask for.

This Mother’s Day also comes with heartbreak bc we lost our pregnancy just a few months ago at 9 weeks.

And to make it even more heavy, today would have been the 47th birthday of my late husband Dominic, who we lost 5 years ago.

The moral of the story? There will always be sadness along with the joy. They are one and the same in a sense because to grieve is to have loved. And to love is the greatest gift in the world. One that transcends life & death.

To all the women experiencing loss and grieving today, I SEE YOU.

I know how hard waiting for the BFP can be.

Sending love to everyone this Mother’s Day.

Although some people can get pregnant right away, it certainly isn’t the safest or healthiest way to get pregnant.

Many OBs will tell you to continue to take birth control up until the month you’re ready to get pregnant. Here’s the problem with that.

😳Birth control depletes essential nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy, such as folate, B vitamins & magnesium.

❗️The most important stages of embryonic development happen within the first 8 weeks! Donate nutrient stores you’ve built before conceiving are the most crucial. Not the prenatal you take after.

Folate is especially crucial. If you’re deficient in folate going into pregnancy (which you will be if you have just gotten of birth control) , your baby will most likely be as well. This also puts you at higher risk of miscarriage & tongue ties at birth!

😫If you’re going into pregnancy with depleted nutrient stores, this is also setting you up for a more fatigued & challenging postpartum period, with higher risks of postpartum depression.
