Our Team
Jessy Griffel, MS, RD, LN, CNSC
Jessy has worked the last seven years of her career striving to make positive impacts on patients' nutrition care in various medical settings - general medical, neurosurgical trauma and oncology.
Her approach is to provide nutrition guidance, education and support with ease, compassion and clarity, bridging the gap between the hospital and home for those navigating nutrition for cancer and those with feeding tubes. Her hands-on demonstrations help individuals understand and feel at ease with how to manage feeding tubes to meet their unique nutrition needs
Jessy works with individuals experiencing disordered eating patterns, weight and body image concerns, and oncology-related nutrition needs, including support during cancer treatment and remission. She provides focused nutrition care for malnutrition, food aversions, and enteral nutrition support therapy (tube feeding). Her work also includes preventive nutrition strategies, support for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, plant-based (vegetarian and vegan) diets, and evaluation of nutritional deficiencies and abnormal lab values.
Jessy sees clients in-person in Bozeman and virtually throughout Montana.
