About

Jennifer Lynn-Pullman, MA RD LDN

Hello! I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and lived there with my family until 2009 when we moved to Bucks County. I have over 10 years of experience as a nutrition counselor and am known by many of my patients as the "Food Lady."

In high school I became interested in nutrition. After gaining about 25 pounds in my freshman year I began a diet and exercise program, which enabled me to drop the extra weight in a healthy way. I entered Penn State as an exercise science major, but after taking my first nutrition course I was hooked! I love learning how food breaks down and its component parts work in our bodies to keep up healthy. I did not abandoned exercise completely though, I was a certified fitness instructor for 10 years!

I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree in Nutrition from the Pennsylvania State University in 1998. I obtained my (MA) Masters Degree in Nutrition Education from Immaculata University in 2004. Since becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2001 I have worked in a variety of areas.

My career began in public health, working with the Women's Infant and Children (WIC) nutrition program in Philadelphia prior to becoming an RD. After becoming an RD I moved into long-term care with Genesis Health Care and then to clinical nutrition at Jeanes Hospital in Philadelphia. I have extensive experience in educating individuals and other health professionals. From 2004-2011, I was an adjunct faculty member for the Nursing Department of Holy Family University. Since 2007 I have had the priviledge of working with individuals undergoing bariatric surgery.

In addition to being an RD, I am a wife and mommy of two children. I have first hand experience regarding nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. Both of my children were nursed, my son for two years and my daughter for 1 year. My children, both picky eaters, have definitly challenged everything I know about eating.

As a mommy I spent a lot of time taking care of everyone but myself. In 2009 I found myself 40 pounds over weight. Yes, dietitians have the same struggles everyone else has! I began to pay attention to what I was eating, calculating my calories, and taking time out for me to exercise and lost 30 pounds to date. You can read my story at Appetite for Health. I love to power walk, run, swim, and practice yoga. In 2011 I completed my first Half Marathon with my husband.



In 2011 I decided to open my own private practice. I wanted a website that would highlight myself and what I can do for others. This is how I met Kristie. Kristie set up my website, Food Lady RD. We found we had a lot in common and decided we would make a great team. This is how Eat Right Bucks began!

I believe that healthy eating does not need to be difficult or expensive. I can give you the tools and knowledge to make eating healthy simple. I can help you feel better, stronger, and help you achieve your health goals.
