Meet Jess Sorci

MS, CNS®, LDN, Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine Practitioner

The Story Behind My Practice

I didn’t come to functional medicine only through textbooks — I also came to it through personal experience.

Within months of a profound personal loss, my body began betraying me in ways I never thought possible. Panic attacks struck for the first time in my life. My hormones plummeted so severely I could barely function. I developed hypothyroidism and had positive thyroid antibodies, I had severe digestive issues, my immune system couldn’t keep up, and sleep became impossible.

Here I was, a functional medicine practitioner, completely blindsided by my own body’s response.

Despite years of training and a toolkit of interventions that had helped countless clients, I found myself struggling to make sense of my body’s response to grief. None of it seemed to apply to what I was experiencing.

That experience fundamentally transformed how I approach healing. I discovered that true recovery requires more than optimizing nutrition, interpreting labs, it demands acknowledging how our deepest emotional experiences literally reshape our biology.

Today, I guide clients through this same territory where grief meets healing, combining clinical expertise with the hard-won wisdom that only comes from walking this path yourself.

Nutrition

As both a functional medicine practitioner and functional nutritionist, I take a comprehensive approach that goes beyond treating symptoms in isolation. I look at how every system in your body is interconnected and work to address root causes.

Through functional nutrition, I use food as medicine to support hormone balance, reduce inflammation, heal the gut, and strengthen your body’s foundation. Functional medicine allows me to dig deeper with advanced lab testing, nervous system support, and personalized protocols to uncover why symptoms develop in the first place.

This integrated approach creates a complete framework for healing, one that’s scientifically grounded, informed by real-world experience, and designed specifically for your unique needs.

A Root-Cause Approach

Today, I specialize in helping people with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, thyroid dysfunction, and stress- or grief-related health issues. My method is the RESTORE Protocol™, a framework designed to uncover the root causes of symptoms and support the whole person. It weaves together:
5
Functional lab testing to reveal hidden imbalances
5
Personalized nutrition and supplement plans
5
Nervous system regulation and HPA axis support
5
Coaching for sustainable lifestyle and mindset shifts
5
Grief-informed care that acknowledges how loss, trauma, and stress reshape health

Because true healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s personal, and it must address both body and mind.

Stories Of Healing

What sets Jess apart is her genuine dedication

She’s always available to provide support between sessions, making sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and attentive nutrition expert, Jess is the one to see! – Bridget

Jess has a wealth of knowledge with respect to health, nutrition and related issues.

Her holistic and honest approach is what attracted me to her as conventional doctors didn’t seem to grasp what my problems were. She does not have a “one size fits all” approach, and I truly appreciate that. Jess tells it like it is. She’s honest and frankly, it’s refreshing. If you’re done with trying to “figure things out” on your own, Jess should be your next call. – S.O.

Jess has significant knowledge of nutrition and its interplay with health.

With Jess’s guidance, knowledge, encouragement, and support, I worked to understand and heal my gut, which helped provide both my brain and body robust nutrition. Jess is creative in her approaches and treatment suggestions for improved health. Plus, she’s fun to work with! – Catherine

Supplements That Actually Support You

One of the biggest frustrations I hear from clients is wasting money on random supplements that don’t make a difference, or worse, make things worse. With so many options out there, it’s almost impossible to know what’s safe, effective, or right for your body.

That’s why I provide access to practitioner-grade supplements, carefully selected to match your unique needs. Whether you’re working with me one-on-one or simply looking for trusted options, you can feel confident knowing these products are high-quality, backed by science, and tailored to support real healing.

Leaky Gut Support

Supports your digestion, absorption, and helps heal intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

Autoimmune Reset

Supports your immune system and your body’s natural detoxification processes.

Stress and Anxiety Support

Helps you feel more calm, resilient, and grounded, without sedation or dependency.

Life Beyond the Clinic

When I’m not working in my practice, I love being in the mountains. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and camping with my husband Nathan and our two chocolate labs.

I also enjoy astrophotography and am working on growing vegetables in my garden.

Let’s Connect

If you’ve been told “your labs look fine” but you know your body is telling you otherwise, you’re not alone. I’d love to hear your story and explore what’s possible.
