Vimbor, Jennifer Nutrition Counseling SVC

Jennifer is calm, compassionate and encouraging. I began seeing her about a year and a half ago and I know I was not the easiest client! She handled my hysterical phone calls and text messages with sympathy and grace. She helped me make it through a rough couple of months when I was learning how to properly fuel and train myself. She has pushed me to do more than I though I could and now in addition to daily nutrition she counsels me on how to fuel for races and other events. An appointment with Jennifer is like catching up with your best friend. She is interested in everything going on in my life because it all affects my nutrition. She has helped me make the connection between my mental and physical health and achieve my goals. \r more

Looking for an awesome nutritionist??? Yep, you just found her. \r \r Jennifer Vimbor is a god-send. I've never met someone so passionate about not only her work, but people in general! Jennifer gives you the tools you need to be successful with whatever nutritional goal you may have (for me it was weightloss), and she also helps you kick that little negative voice in the back of your head's ass! (Hence the title ""Nutrition COUNSELOR."" ) I never realized how much my emotions have to do with my eating habits. \r \r Meeting with Jennifer in her FABULOUS downtown office is like having a meeting with a good friend. She listens, she gives advice, and she will get tough and give you the motivation you need to be successful. (Beware of the random emails in the middle of the day that check to make sure you've been drinking your water!!)\r \r I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Jennifer as my nutrition counselor. I've been seeing her over a year now, and have had amazing results. She is your personal cheerleader, and working with her will make you feel part of a team. \r \r Seriously- she's the best in Chicago. No, really- seriously. Like, don't even look for anyone else.

I began seeing Jennifer over a year ago and I couldn't be more pleased. I have learned so much about food, nutrition and health. She has helped my develop a healthy lifesytle that is sustainable and easy. She is knowledgable, helpful, supportive and encouraging. Thanks to my work with her, I am healthier now than I have been in years. I now eat to live rather than live to eat. If you're looking for a great nutritionist look no further. Jennifer's the best! more

Jennifer has my highest recommendation. She is knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to her work. She tailors her advice to the individual and will work with you to find the perfect plan no matter how long it takes. Most importantly, Jennifer is kind and empathetic and takes an active interest in the well-being of her clients. She has had a major influence on my health! more

Jennifer Vimbor is an extraordinary provider of physical well-being. A natural offshoot, certainly in my case, is emotional wellness. Jennifer's preeminent competence as a nutritionist is further enhanced by being compassionate, reassuring, and an excellent listener. Jennifer is a pinnacle of authenticity, bearing nary a fragment of pretentiousness. In sum, Jennifer is a wonderful human being and, in my opinion the consummate professional in her field. I recommend Jennifer as the utmost provider of health and wellness. more

I first saw Jennifer in September of 2010 when I was diagnosed with diabetes. She has been extraordinarily helpful in teaching me about food and nutrition and helping me to create a food plan that works with my tastes and lifestyle. Jennifer is extremely personable and friendly and is enjoyable to work with. She balances empathetic support with pushing me to make more healthy changes, and is there to cheer me on every step along the way. She is knowledgeable and well informed about all areas of nutrition. I highly recommend her. more

the information I received from NCS is invaluable , not only did I hit my target weight , I continue to keep it off without starving myself. But more importantly NCS taught me how to feel good about myself all through my weight loss journey. Thanks to Jenn I not only look good,, but I feel great !!!! Thanks again for all your encouragement and my new healthy lifestyle !! I highly recommend NCS more

They are personable, compassionate & dedicated nutritionists. NCS offers a great public program 'Gotta Run', a running club with fitness nutrition and weekly speakers including Olympic athletes, yoga and pilates instructors, running shoe experts, etc. I haven't been to them all, but the speakers I did see were fantastic and the two nutritionists that lead the runs made running fun and not at all intimidating to a new runner like me. I highly recommend them!! more

definitely deserve to win!!!! Good luck! more

Having been a former dancer I had a very regimented lifestyle with little to no difficulty to maintain. Exercising and eating changed completely once I retired from performing, and so did my body. I was frustrated with myself for reasons that I could not even understand, until I went to Nutrition Counseling Services. Jennifer is a great listener, and helped me to understand what had changed, why my body was responding to food differently and what I needed to do to reach my realistic goals. I had no concept of what was even realistic until we met. I also had no idea it was so easy to eat well and live almost the same as I had been with minor changes in food preparation and becoming educated about eating out. It is so enlightening to understand what happens when you have the right amount of what you need and the right amount of excercise. It made me think why doesn't everyone learn this in school? Nutrition Counseling Services is a wonderful place to become informed and make positive life changing habits. more

Jennifer has been an amazing source of support during a fragile time. She is very knowledgeable and concerned with developing a plan that works for your individual needs. I'm so glad to have met her and look forward to having her around for a while.... more

Jennifer helped put things in perspective. Still does. I haven't been a (active) client for a while but we still stay in touch. I learned a lot about health and food but most of all learned how to change things for the long-term. It's made a difference. Jennifer, you truly deserve ""Best Nutritionist"" as you've helped so many of us reach our goals in a way that works with our life. I was a pain in the butt...she dealt with me, made it work, and made me laugh! Pros: support, understanding, no judgment... more

She helped me reach my goal weight in half the time and now I feel much healthier and have so much more energy. I owe it all to Nutrition Counseling Services more

Jennifer is great at figuring out what ratios and foods work best for your unique body & system. She helps tweak your diet so you can figure out what works best for you. Being vegetarian I was excited to work with someone who understood my choice and did not try to alter my foods but rather fine-tune the types of foods I was already eating. Pros: personalized more

I went to Jennifer to get back on track. I had lost weight before but after several years it was creeping back on and I knew that I had lost focus. I wanted to be at a healthy weight and have healthy habits in place in order to start planning a family. Jennifer gave easy to follow advice (I took loads of notes!) as well as motivation and inspiration. I am down to the weight I was at when i lost weight before, and I feel like I can keep going even further! What is great is that while I still do indulge from time to time, I am much more aware of it and I eat a lot less of the indulgence than I would have. All in all, if it's something you're considering, I say your time and money will be well spent! Pros: Helpful, Motivating, Gets Results more

In about 8 months I dropped 25 pounds with Jennifer's expertise. In the 8 or 9 months following that I haven't put on a lb. back. \r Jennifer is interested in educating her clients about holistically healthy living; finding an eating lifestyle that her client will enjoy, but that is reasonable for attaining goals. Jennifer is very results oriented and is greatly invested in her clients' entire well-being. She facilitates a working relationship with her clients that is personable and non-judgmental. And she is genuine, a pleasure to work with. This is how professionalism was went to be, in my opinion. \r \r Jennifer has given me insights into weight management, and thus healthy living, that I will have with me forever. I can not overemphasize the effectiveness of her insights related to eating lifestyle.\r \r Jennifer has a passion for helping her clients meet their goals. She makes her clients feel like a priority in how accessable she is to follow-up meetings or communication via email. \r \r I'm so glad I took advantage of the opportunity I had to work with her. I'm looking good and enjoying eating. And I know that I can always count on Jennifer for support.\r \r \r \r more

Jennifer helped my husband and myself turn our lives around by working with each of our individual needs and desires. We were on a quest to make a life style change that we could live with, not a ""diet"" than would simply shed pounds. She taught us how to eat healthy without feeling deprived, or hungry. I thought I knew how to eat properly but the knowledge we gained from her was eye opening. I lost over 25 lbs, and kept it off because of Jennifer I now know how to eat in a healthy way and still enjoy my 'treats"". My husband is about half the size he was when we started with Jennifer. You will not find anyone better. Pros: everything more

I went to see Jennifer when I felt like I was helpless and hopeless. She made me realize that if you take one step at a time then any goal is attainable. I'm a much happier woman now that I've lost 22 lbs and I'm still working on losing more. The difference between now and 7 months ago is that I know I can do it! I've kept the weight off and I've changed my life. I feel great and I'm so thankful for all of her encouragement and support. I fit into those jeans that I thought I'd have to give away; they're actually too baggy now! Seriously, if you're truly ready to change your life for the better Jennifer Vimbor is the person who can help you reach your goals!! Pros: Lost Weight, Feel better about myself, got fit, confidence more

Well it's been 9 months since my first consultation with Jennifer, so I thought I would give a follow-up on my progress. I have lost a total of 22 pounds and kept it off. It feels nice to fit into those 32 waist pants again. Through Jennifer's advice and inspiration, I can truly say my life has changed dramatically. I look and feel better, and have more energy now than I have had since my teens. Jennifer's personal approach and individualized service is second to none. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to improve their life. Thank you again Jennifer, and I look forward to our next meeting. Pros: Personalized service in a non pressure environment more

Jennifer is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I went in and told her I refused to cook and I refused to start eating many of the foods I already dislike and she managed to work with me and helped me lose 45lbs. Even my mother- who never compliments me on such things, is impressed with both Jennifer and I. Furthermore she is energetic and excited about the people she works with in helping them to find a healthier lifestyle that works for them. The fact that she is not judgemental would be reason enough to go, but the fact that she is fun and encouraging makes me actually look forward to seeing her and hearing from her. I have contacted other nutrionists in the past who have bored me, made me feel insecure, and told me they couldn't help me unless I was willing to start cooking and eating foods I know I don't like. Jennifer is not like this, she makes you feel great, even when you are not having a good week. If only all people looking to get healthy could know about her people would find it much easier to do so. To put it simply- SHE IS THE BEST! Pros: She makes getting healthy fun. more
