MS Nutrition & Wellness Consulting
Support for the everyday side of MS
Your neurologist focuses on your diagnosis and treatment. I help with what happens between appointments: what's on your plate, how you sleep, and how you handle stress and fatigue. One small step at a time.

Meet Jen
Hi, I'm Jen Albertson
Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 27, and what began as a life-changing diagnosis became a passion for helping others. Participating in Dr. Terry Wahls' clinical trials opened my eyes to the power of nutrition and lifestyle in supporting my health. Through years of intentional changes, I've built habits that help me feel like myself again. Today, I share what I've learned through HealingERA, my podcast My Life with MS, and my book The Backpack Theory.
HealingERA is my approach to lightening the heavy burdens of chronic illness, one step at a time. It starts with controlling what we can control, and one of the most powerful choices we make every day is what goes on our plate. We Eliminate foods that may add to inflammation, Restore the nutrients your body needs, and Align your body and mindset for long-term success.
"I'm on a mission to revolutionize how we approach health and wellness with multiple sclerosis. Having battled this condition firsthand, I understand the struggles and triumphs that come with it."Jen Albertson
Ways we can work together
Support that fits your life
Start with a webinar from home, or work with me one-on-one, in person or by video. Everything works alongside the care you already get from your neurologist.
MS Nutrition Kickstart
We look at where you are, set realistic goals, and you leave with a plan and grocery list, plus a two-week check-in.
Opening January 2027
ERA 12-Week Program
Together, we'll move through Eliminate, Restore, and Align, helping you understand what's on your plate, nourish your body with intention, and create habits you can carry into your next ERA.

The ERA approach
Eliminate. Restore. Align.
Eliminate
Reduce ultra-processed foods and added sugar, and notice how foods make you feel. Focus on anti-inflammatory food principles.
Restore
Nourish your body with colorful, nutrient-dense foods, and support gut health, sleep, hydration and movement.
Align
Bring body and mind together: stress management, routines, mindset and support. Align yourself with your long-term health goals.
The order matters. You can't fully restore what you haven't first eliminated, and you can't truly align what hasn't been restored.
Your ERA begins with the courage to take the first step.
The HealingERA cycle
Wellness is a cycle, and it starts with you
Every small choice feeds the next one. When you care for yourself, it gets easier to build healthy habits, lean on your community and grow stronger, which brings you back to caring for yourself.
- YouYour story, your goals, your pace.

- EmpowermentConfidence and resilience you can carry into the next day.
Why I do this

The Backpack Theory
My MS Story of Resilience and How I Reclaimed My Life
Imagine carrying an invisible backpack that gradually fills with physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual burdens. Often, we do not recognize the weight until it becomes impossible to ignore. In The Backpack Theory, Jen Albertson shares her personal experience of living with MS and introduces the HealingERA framework—Eliminate, Restore, Align—as a way to reflect on the burdens we carry and the choices that may support hope, resilience, and well-being.
