Welcome!

I'm Whitney Gingerich, a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist specialized in women’s health.  Too often, we are prescribed yet another pill or strict diet as a temporary solution for chronic underlying conditions.  By adjusting diet, lifestyle, and mindset I help my clients dig a little deeper to find the root of their health concerns so they can treat it themselves.

My mission is to provide personalized, compassionate, and complementary nutrition coaching.  Making any kind of change is challenging, let alone something as personal as your food choices.  I want to be there with you, providing support and offering guidance so you can realize your strength and live the life you deserve!

Happy Sunday! I braved the cold, wet grass for a handful of parsley for my smoothie this morning. We are headed to a birthday party later today and I need all the energy I can get! . . — swipe for my go-to smoothie recipe . . How are you refueling today? . #greenmorning #kidsbirthdayparty #moreenergyplease #rdeats #sundaysmoothie #hormonebalance #hormonenutrition #whitneywellness #fertilitynutrition #pcosnutrition #womenshealth
I accidentally threw away David’s favorite spatula a few years ago and he is still salty about it. . . 📷 @natalie_.in.the.rain . #sorryhun #marriage #sogrownup #whitneywellness #happysaturdayeveryone
"So what's your religious affiliation?" . . I was on the phone with a potential client yesterday when she asked me this question. I'll be honest, I was taken aback and didn't really know what to say. Working one-on-one with clients, I get asked a lot of personal questions and most of the time I'm very open about my life. But this felt very pointed and personal from a stranger. I stumbled with a "umm...well, uhh..." before I decided it that it does not and should not matter. I politely declined to answer her question and the phone call ended shortly afterward. . . Even if we did share the same beliefs, do I want to work with a client that would judge a service provider based on their religion? No, I don't. In the same way that I would never judge a client based on theirs. I practice with love and understanding, not exclusion. . . I realize that avoiding the question most likely cost me that client and that's tough as a new entrepreneur. But I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm cool with it. . There are so many different ways to handle a situation like this, how would you have dealt with it? . . #entrepreneurproblems #womenshealthdietitian #mytribe #inclusionnotexclusion #nojudgementjustlove #womenshealth #fertilitynutrition #lovenothate #clientlove #girlboss #bossbitch #femaleempowerment
Do you meditate? 🧘‍♀️ Personally, I've never gotten the hang of sitting still and quieting down. I actually find that movement calms me down and helps me focus more than anything. Sort of like Goldie Hawn in the First Wives Club movie; I do my best thinking while I’m working out! . How do you like to calm down, are you a mover or a stayer?! . . #mindfulmovement #exercisekeepsmesane #swammer #exathlete #womenshealth #myversionofmeditation #mamagoldie #lovethatmovie
The perfect way to end the weekend! Ice cream with my loves 😊🍦❤️ . Life is too short to feel bad about food! Part of building a healthy relationship with food is letting go of the constant restrict/reward mentality and learning that all foods can fit. Enjoying ice cream with your family does not make you a bad person or lacking in willpower. It just means that winter is coming and you need to suck the marrow out of summer before it’s too late! Haha . #summerpleasestay #gingerichclan #whitneywellness #cookiedoughisthebest #summernights
We're off!! @davidg209 and I are headed out camping for the weekend, just the two of us...what are we going to talk about without kids?! . . We love being parents and believe that a happy marriage is the foundation of a strong family. That's why we try to sneak in a date once a week if we can. Sometimes it's just heading down to the basement after the kids have gone to bed to fall asleep halfway through Deadpool 2 (we will finish it someday...) It feels like an all out luxury to sleep in for an entire weekend and all the thanks to @kgrg85 for making this happen!! . . What kind of adventures are you crazy kids up to this weekend?! . Cheers! #parentsgetaway #marriagefirst #datingmyhusband #michigancamping #michiganeats #balance #whitneywellness
We don’t have much of it so use it wisely. If you need an excuse to say no to something, blame it on your dietitian 🤗 . . 📸 @theworldbybrit #dontwastethepretty #selfcare #blameitonme #womenshealth #pcosnutrition #fertilitynutrition #whitneywellness
What's your ☕️ color? Mine is definitely the middle one! Clients tell me all the time that they would rather die than give up their beloved flavored creamer. I'm right there with ya, if I had to drink my coffee black I would probably never find my way out of the house in the morning. . . Starting the day with a high sugar beverage straight out the gate can spike your body's insulin release and set you on a blood sugar roller coaster you spend the rest of the day trying to get off! If you find yourself frustrated because you can't kick the donut at 10 am, try switching up your AM kickstarter for a lower sugar, higher fat option that can help manage your hunger and cravings throughout the day and provide a more even energy release! . . This week I'd like to challenge you to hold off on your precious pumpkin spiced creamers and try out my favorite insulin-balancing coffee blend: * 1/2 tbsp coconut oil * 1/2 tbsp heavy cream * Splash of extract (your choice). * Cinnamon to taste. ** Blend ingredients together in a standard blender or use an immersion blender. If you like a little more foam like me, go ahead and leave it blending for a minute or so and you'll get a nice froth on top! mmmmm...☕️ . . . #coffeefirstplease #hormonecoffee #hormonebalance #hormonescontroleverything #pcosnutrition #womenshealth #fertilitynutrition #fertilitynutritionist #menopausenutrition #alittlecoffeewithmycreamer #whitneywellness
