Ep 20. Using the GI Map with Helena Jean-Louis, FNTP

Author: Jensen Schoonover September 21, 2022 Duration: 31:44
In this episode, I talk with Helena Jean-Louis about why she uses the GI Map with every client, and how it drastically changed her own health! Helena Jean-Louis’ passion for off-the-beaten-path adventures and love of learning led her to healthcare solutions that revolutionized her life and the lives of her nutrition clients. Her answer to her health problems was education. Her certifications as a functional nutritionist and Reiki Master are reflections of her belief that life prepared her to become a compassionate and experienced women’s health specialist. Today, Helena is the founder of Femme and Feminine, a robust intercultural nutrition practice. Helena guides and educates women suffering from digestive, hormonal, and autoimmune disorders, drawing on her vast personal and clinical experience...and some humor, too! Additionally, Helena holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and is a professional coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. On the rare occasion that Helena takes time off from her nutrition work, you’ll find her mindfully walking near the ocean or listening to French and Caribbean-inspired music.

Ever finish a nutrition or wellness certification and realize there's a whole world of functional lab testing nobody covered in class? That's exactly where host Jensen Schoonover found himself, and it's the spark for Test Don't Guess-Functional Lab Chats. This podcast digs into the practical, often overlooked tools that can transform a practice, moving beyond theory into the tangible data of gut health, hormone panels, mold exposure, and mineral balances. Each conversation is a deep dive with practitioners who are in the trenches, lab experts who interpret the numbers, and educators who design the courses. You’ll hear how they navigate the complexities of different tests, apply the results to real client scenarios, and build more confident, evidence-based approaches to care. It’s for the curious, the detail-oriented, and those tired of guessing. Jensen’s discussions strip away the intimidation, making advanced functional lab work feel accessible and actionable. Tune in to find clarity, learn from colleagues' experiences, and discover how to integrate these powerful assessments into your own work. This isn't about abstract science; it's about the applied art of using data to guide genuine healing, one insightful chat at a time.
