Jennifer Robey is a Registered Dietitian, and Licensed Nutritionist practicing in Ronan, Montana. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 2015, and then completed the Montana Dietetic Internship in 2017. In her current position at St. Luke Community Healthcare, a critical access hospital on the Flathead Reservation, she works with inpatients, outpatients, and longterm care residents, as well as various community organizations. She also serves on the board of the Montana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as a Nominating Committee Member, and as the Kalispell/Whitefish Regional Lead. Jenny came to the Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating paradigms during her dietetic internship, and has been an advocate for people in all bodies to improve their relationships with health, exercise, food, and their bodies ever since. Through this work, and her own personal experience becoming an intuitive eater and letting go of the thin ideal, Jenny’s passion for a weight inclusive approach to healthcare for all patients has changed her dietetic practice.
