Food & Exercise
is fundamental to all good health. Our foods are too often lacking in real nutrition the body can use to rebuild and function optimally.
Nutrient Testing & Supplementation for Wellness
With our lack of real food, many of us know that we need some kind of nutritional help.
Reclaiming our own Environment
Have you ever heard the expression that “it’s hard to dry off when you’re still in the shower”? Think about it. Do we bring our towel into the shower with us while the water is running? What would happen if we did? We couldn’t get dried off could we; as the towel would be getting soaked by the running water. Well constantly exposing ourselves to toxic substances is a bit like that. When we are trying to optimize our health or overcome health issues we have to decrease the ongoing challenges as much as we can so the body can work to recover instead of constantly defending itself from ‘attack’.
Many of us are acutely aware of the problems our world is experiencing due to the industrialization and resulting pollution.
Unfortunately, we don’t have much individual control over what’s in our air, water, and soil. For sure, we should all be doing what we can in terms of recycling, using renewable sources, etc.
But we are being exposed to hundreds of unhealthy chemicals on a daily basis in our homes. We do have a choice. We do have individual control over what we bring into our homes and use on our bodies and those of our children. Long term toxic exposures cause long term health challenges. In fact, there was a European study done by a number of countries involving thousands of people over a long period of time.
Bottom line? “Numerous toxic chemicals in national brand cleaners are as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years”.

Or how about this? “Indoor air pollution is one of the most important environmental health problems.” EPA in a report to Congress.
Or this? “Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.” Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Or, “After analyzing 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products, 884 were found to be toxic.” National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health*
So, removing sources of chemical exposures makes it easier to get well and maintain good health since the body is not battling to protect itself. This should be every bit as important in our journey to be healthy as diet and exercise.
What others have said about working with Jackie
Let me just start by saying how amazing Jackie is! I came to her about 6 months ago with severe gut issues, extreme fatigue, poor immune system, hormonal issues you name it.. I had been dealing with these issues for about a year, getting told I had nothing wrong with me for some time. I finally decided to go with a more holistic approach and that is how I found Jackie. After about 6 months of hard work and trusting the process all of my symptoms disappeared and I feel healthier then ever! Jackie has helped me get back my health and then some and I am so grateful for her
"I went for an initial consultation with Jackie just to see if I there was anything I could do to improve my overall health. I didn’t necessarily think I was unhealthy, but I knew I could feel better. Jackie did a thorough review of my medical history and lifestyle and came up with a comprehensive plan to boost my health. Here I am months later, feeling better than I ever expected I could! I genuinely did not know that I was feeling bad or tired beforehand and I was shocked when I noticed the drastic improvements in my energy levels, range/duration of movement, and mood. I have Jackie to thank for working alongside me to improve my lifestyle and daily habits!"
"Jackie is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and so passionate about her work, and about helping people feel better!
When I started seeing Jackie, my health was terrible, I was very weak, I was barley eating and under weight. Jackie sat and talked with me and shared her knowledge, and once we had a plan set for me we went with that and months later I started to eat, my health was better, I gained some good weight! I feel so much better from what I was a year ago, I’m so glad Jackie was there to help me before I needed a feeding tube! She was and is always checking in on me, and my health! Super grateful for her."
Having worked in the healthcare profession for numerous years. I was amazed with the amount of education and credentials that Jackie carries. She is more about testing and directing her clients to the correct supplements for their needs, instead of loading them up on all of the supplements that she could sell them. When I went to pick a nutrition coach, I wanted a person that had the ethical fortitude to put the patients’ needs over their personal pocket book. That's why I chose Jackie Fremin for Opting for Health! Thank you, Jackie!
"I am 42 years old and have always been in good health, or so I thought! Several months ago, my blood pressure would spike randomly and the anxiety was something I lived with daily and didn't know what to do about it besides take prescription medication. I refuse to rely on prescriptions that only address the symptom, so I started working with Jackie and we've been fixing the problems with natural supplements. I feel amazing! She has literally changed my life and I no longer feel helpless or dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Our bodies are made to heal themselves, and Jackie has opened up a whole new perspective of self-care for me. I am so grateful for her!"
“After 15 years of struggling with multiple chronic illnesses, I was almost to the point of giving up. I was taking so many medications, and with every prescription, I would need another medicine to combat the side effects of the first. I had seen specialist after specialist, either being "fired" from their practice for being "too complicated" or being told there was just nothing else that could be done. I was at the end of what allopathic medicine could do to help me. I had no more hope for a "normal" life.
That's where Jackie came in. With her years of experience, her unabashed love for researching the most obscure health information, her no-nonsense approach to healing, and her generous and caring nature, Jackie has not only improved my health, but she's also given me the ability to hope again. The obvious improvement to my health and well-being is wonderful, but having hope again is a priceless gift. And best of all, I treasure the friendship we've built along the way. I can never thank Jackie enough for everything she has done to improve every aspect of my life.”
