Let’s talk about mind-body wellness

I’m here to shine light on the connections between nutrition, lifestyle, and mental health and help you build sustainable healthy habits so you can feel your best.

Some of the topics I cover most frequently are the food-mood connection, nutrition to support mental health, nutrition and lifestyle for improving sleep, the role of exercise in mental and physical health, metabolic health, women’s health, and simple strategies for stress management.

Testimonials

and Praise

“Working with Jess has really helped me focus on making nutrition a more important part of my life. She really listens to what my goals are and helps me find healthy solutions that work best for me. I look forward to my meetings with her as it keeps me motivated and I know I can always talk to her about any struggles I am having on my path to a healthier lifestyle. The best part has been seeing results in the time since I’ve started seeing her.”

— Kayla B, NYC

“I went to Jessica for general weight loss and nutrition advice as well as to develop skills to better manage my Type 2 Diabetes.

At our initial meeting, we discussed that in addition to seeking better food choices, that I also wanted to learn about WHY certain food choices were best. One of my greatest challenges is that I travel and entertain clients on business trips quite often which makes it very difficult to eat right. Jessica has helped me to cultivate a number of strategies for eating better at home AND on the road while still keeping it fun.

Knowledge is power and Jessica is powerfully good at what she does. Not only have I learned a great deal and lost a significant amount of weight (and reduced my blood sugar levels dramatically), but I’ve done it in a way that suits my lifestyle so it is therefore sustainable. I would recommend her to anyone!”

— Chris C, NYC

“You might say I went to see Jess for counseling – my body and I were not getting along. Jess took the time to get to know me and my lifestyle, and she carefully reviewed my health history. It started with weekly visits, reading and logging. It grew to bi-weekly challenges, measurable change and working towards a new lifestyle. Jess genuinely cares and really wants to work with you to help you have optimal health and happiness. I like to think of her as my coach. Outside of appointments, Jess is present through check in emails and social media postings (she shares the best recipes). There was a time I was super active and engaged, with Jess’ knowledge and support, I’m getting back to it!”

— Kim D, NYC

“Jessica Cording has been a consistent resource when it comes to keeping my nutritional goals on course. Her guidance and insight allow me to think outside the box when I find myself hitting an obstacle.

She has introduced me to new foods and vitamins specifically aimed to help me through my recovery of a sports related injury. Her mature, positive re-enforcement along with her feedback and tips on how I can attain my goals helps me to keep a fresh and positive outlook!”

— Christina C, NYC

“This is an important resource for caregivers of all kinds. Jess’s engaging combination of storytelling, actionable tips, and mind-body wellness insight makes this an approachable, relatable tool for the overwhelmed caregiver.”

— Jason Wachob, Founder & Co-CEO, mindbodygreen

“I know all too well how difficult caregiving can be and this book, which blends approachable advice, personal story, and even a playlist, is an essential tool to help avoid or recover from burnout. You’ll learn the basics of what to eat to keep your energy and mood up, how to improve sleep, make movement part of your life even with minimal time, and more. No matter where on your journey you are, The Farewell Tour can help lighten the load.”

— Max Lugavere, NYTimes Best-selling author, science journalist, and podcast host

“Jessica Cording has utilized the best of her massive talents as a storyteller, interviewer, and dietitian/health coach to create this extraordinary book that I know I will continue to pick up and read for years to come.”

— Adam Wade, 20-Time Moth StorySlam Winner and Author of ‘You Ought to Know Adam Wade’

Jaclyn London

“The Farewell Tour is so much MORE than a book— it’s a guidepost for anyone, anywhere who is (or will become) a caregiver. It’s truly THE book that I so desperately wanted to read (and searched for to no avail!) when my dad was sick, and I laughed, cried, and yelped affirmations aloud as I devoured it start-to-finish in an afternoon. Jess is as masterful at writing and storytelling as she is at applying science-based evidence to her patients’ real lives as a health practitioner. Yes, this book is filled with compassion, love, humor, resilience, and grief; but it’s also an exceptionally practical guide that provides tangible, actionable strategies that can help make life less difficult so that you can make the most of the time you have with the people you love.”

—Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, Consultant, Brand/Media Expert, and Author, “Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked): 11 Science-Based Ways to Eat More, Stress Less, and Feel Great About Your Body.”

Kate Eckman

The Farewell Tour is a life resource tool that the entire world could use right now — not just caregivers. Clever and heart-warming, illuminating and raw, Jessica shares her expert ingredients and soundtrack for a well-lived life.

— Kate Eckman, award-winning author of The Full Spirit Workout

Samantha Cassetty

“This caregiver’s guide is so much more than a self-care tool. Cording weaves in personal anecdotes of her own caregiver journey, star-studded interviews, and yes, even music playlists. This framework makes it an interesting read that’s also chock full of tips to help you take care of yourself so you can show up better for those you’re tending to. “

-Samantha Cassetty, MS, RD, nationally recognized food and nutrition expert and author

CS

“It was so wonderful to have Jess in my corner as I moved to build a healthy diet. She was consistently thoughtful, present and supportive. She was good at selecting products and foods that worked with what I enjoy eating. Moving through weight loss can be a sensitive and emotional process which Jessica handled with patience, sensitivity and genuine care. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to get yourself on track!”

-CS

Dominik

“I had an extremely positive experience working with Jessica. Over the three months working together, she made time for all my goals. I especially appreciated that she focused on building habits through that time rather than completely change how I was going about food. By the end of our sessions, I felt a positive difference in my body. I highly recommend working with her.”
