Do. Jenna Bishop
RD, LDN
Jenna believes that nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. With a background from Iowa State University and OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, she specializes in weight management, diabetes and prediabetes, PCOS, and heart health. Her philosophy is simple: food and lifestyle choices should honor both your wellness goals and your personal preferences.
Jenna works closely with patients to build balance into their routines, helping them develop sustainable habits that feel realistic and achievable. Whether it’s adjusting meal timing, exploring food options that support medical needs, or creating routines that fit into busy lives, she ensures every plan is practical and personalized.
Outside of work, Jenna loves to travel — especially if mountains are involved — and stays active by shooting hoops with her boys or pushing her daughter on the swing. She’s a reader, a community advocate, and most of all, passionate about helping others live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our role in Weight Loss
Non-Surgical Care
Nutrition is one of the most important parts of every weight loss journey. Our nutritionists guide patients before, during, and after surgery, making sure every step is supported with practical tools, education, and encouragement. Their role goes far beyond food plans — it’s about helping you build the habits and routines that make weight loss last.
What it includes:
- Learn how hydration, meal timing, protein intake, fiber, and vitamins affect your long-term success
- Develop individualized nutrition plans with specific meal, snack, and beverage suggestions
- Receive recipes, checklists, and easy-to-follow guidelines you can put into practice immediately
- Build healthier daily habits that support weight management and overall wellbeing, not just during surgery but throughout your life
