Jennifer Shaffer
Jennifer began her journey with Svast Nutition 5 years ago after meeting Kajal by happenstance at a restaurant in Savannah. After spending months on the program Jennifer believed so much in Nutrition Response Testing that she decided to go to UNS and get certified. She interned for 18 months and officially joined the team in February of 2025. As a busy mom, new grandmother, restaurant owner, IIN Certified Health Coach, and Associate Practitioner she has a special understanding and empathy for patients. She truly enjoys helping clients define and express their health needs and goals. When Jennifer is not in the office you can find her running to sports and school events, working in her family business, or traveling the world. You can only imagine with a schedule like that Jennifer’s favorite supplements are Drenamin and Min-Tran from Standard Process.
