Austin’s Neuro-Nutrition Specialist: Science-Backed Support for the Gut-Brain Axis
A Thoughtful Approach for Complex Conditions
Who I Work With
Your brain and your metabolism are talking. I help you understand what they are saying.
I am an Austin based Neuroscientist and Nutritionist. I help people who feel stuck in a cycle of stress, gut issues, and burnout find the physical root of their symptoms. Most of my clients have tried everything like therapy, generic diets, and wellness trends but they still do not feel like themselves.
I specialize in helping
The Stressed Brain: People dealing with anxiety, depression, or brain fog who want to fix the biological cause of their mood.
The Metabolic Crash: People taking GLP-1 medications who want to stop the side effects and protect their hair and muscle.
The Sensitive Gut: Neurodivergent individuals and those with autoimmune issues like Celiac who need a plan that actually respects their unique nervous system.
How My Work Is Different
Clinical Research, Not Standard Kits.
I do not believe in one size fits all supplement boxes. My approach is based on over over 8 years of clinical research into the gut brain axis.
Neuro Metabolic Focus: I look at how your liver, gut, and hormones are affecting your nervous system.
No Guessing: I use targeted lab testing to see exactly what your body is missing.
Daily Support: I track your symptoms and vitals daily. This allows us to make quick and simple changes to your plan so you feel better faster.
Goal Oriented: My job is to give you the tools you need and then help you move on once your body is back in balance.
How We Work Together
A 4 Month Map to Better Health.
True healing takes time, especially when we are retraining the nervous system. To ensure we get real results, I require a 4 month minimum for all new patients.
The Deep Dive: We start with a full assessment and lab testing to find your baseline.
The Daily Bridge: You get ongoing monthly consulting with daily messaging availability. If you have a question about a meal or a symptom, I am right there to answer it.
The Constant Pivot: We do not follow a rigid schedule. We update your supplements and protocols every month based on how you are actually feeling and what your labs show.
Meet the Founder
I am Jana, a clinical neuroscientist and nutritionist. I started my practice in Austin in 2017 to bridge the gap between brain science and daily health. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and I am a Certified Nutrition Specialist. Currently, I am finishing a second Master’s in Applied Neuroscience at King’s College London.
My Research Background
I am not just a practitioner but also a published lead author. My research focuses on how the tiny energy centers in our cells, called mitochondria, affect our health. I have also studied GLP-1 medications and how light therapy can help with severe mood issues. My ongoing work looks at how inflammation in the body can lead to anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.
My Clinical Approach
I work with people who have complex health issues that overlap. This often includes stomach problems, immune system flares, and mental health struggles. I specialize in helping individuals who have tried everything else but have not seen the results they need.
Instead of guessing, I use advanced lab testing to look at your gut health, your metabolism, and your brain chemistry. I then build a personal plan using nutrition and lifestyle changes that are backed by science. My goal is to find the logical reason why you feel the way you do and give you a clear path to feeling better.
My work is grounded in evidence and guided by neuroscience. I am here to help you make real and lasting progress.
Book a Discovery Call
This consultation is designed for individuals seeking a functional nutrition perspective on ongoing or complex health concerns. It is exploratory rather than diagnostic and focuses on understanding your history, current challenges, and potential next steps.
This call is not intended for weight-loss coaching alone or medical diagnosis, but rather for those interested in deeper root-cause support and collaborative care.
Many clients find that even this initial conversation provides valuable clarity and direction

Research & Media
My work extends beyond clinical practice into research, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am involved in ongoing research exploring the intersection of nutrition, neuroscience, and emerging adjunct therapies, including published work on transcranial photobiomodulation and mental health support.
I regularly participate in educational discussions, professional collaborations, and podcast conversations focused on gut-brain health, immune regulation, environmental influences, and complex chronic care.
This work helps ensure that my clinical approach remains grounded in evolving science while staying practical and patient-centered.
