Hello, I'm Amanda Jones.
Â
 For the past decade, I’ve immersed myself in the study of nutrition and lifestyle medicine. This journey has taken many forms—whether it’s preparing a nourishing batch of soup for loved ones, teaching children in public schools, serving as a lead instructor at one of the nation's top nutrition schools, working as an integrative practitioner in a medical clinic, or leading groups and offering private coaching.
Along the way, I've built a knowledge base and skill set that I hope can serve you! I hold an MS in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and a BA in Communications. I’m also a Certified ADAPT Functional Health Coach, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified GAPS Practitioner, and Licensed Massage Therapist.Â
I currently serve as the lead instructor for Digestion and Blood Sugar Regulation at The Nutritional Therapy Association. You can also find me leading groups here at Keepsake.
My Story
Growing up, I watched my mother care for my grandmother, who lived to be 102. Sadly, the last 20 of those years were darkened by dementia. Living with my grandmother gave me a front-row seat to the devastating loss and hardship that dementia brings—not just to those who suffer from it, but to their loved ones as well.
When I discovered that my mother and I had inherited genetic variants that increased our risk of developing dementia, I became determined to change our fate. I began studying brain health in earnest, seeking ways to protect us from the same outcome.
As I surveyed the resources available for people like me, who want to take a proactive approach to brain health, I found a wealth of information. But most of it was locked away in dense research literature, with no clear path to integrate the best practices into daily life. That’s why I developed Keepsake Cognitive Health Coaching - to gather the most promising research on diet and lifestyle for healthy brain aging and put it into a educational programs everyone, not just scientists, can benefit from.
