1:1 Clients - The DI-JESS-TION Method
Ulcerative Colitis - Client Case Study (downloadable guide)
Cynthia ~ Minnesota, United States
"Before Jessica and I partnered together, I was experiencing constant, painful bloating and stomach irritation. I had not firmly identified what was causing it, and had spent years, trying and failing, to figure it out!
I had some hesitation with working with a practitioner, as it is a financial commitment with no guarantees of success. I also knew the process was not going to be easy. I’d done enough work on my own to know that the process would likely entail food restrictions and eliminations, which require some major support and will power.
I partnered with Jessica because I was not making any headway on my own anymore. My symptoms were at their worst, and I did not want to live like I was any longer.
THE DI-JESS-TION METHOD made sense to me. It wasn't just random advice, like “Stop eating all processed food and you'll feel better!”. Taking a DNA Stool Test, and the analysis of the results, was invaluable. It felt like "Aha! I'm not making this up!”. It was the the proof that something was off in my body that was making me feel the way I’d been feeling. And then, my protocols were designed to address the results. It was the answer to the problem! Here's what's going on in your body, and here's how we're going to address it. It made so much sense to me, and was such a relief.
Many things worked well for me throughout our time together:
- Tracking my bowel movements and food and water intake, and receiving feedback - it provided accountability and feedback quickly, and I was able to make changes right away. I now experience daily, consistent and solid bowel movements.
- The protocols and feedback at different stages of the process were very helpful. To be able to slowly add different types of foods back in halfway through the killing protocol was a great way to feel like "Yay, I can eat something different!", and "How do I feel when I eat this?". The protocols were detailed and easy to follow, and I appreciate that Jessica pivoted with where I was at if I missed a day or two here or there.
- The weekly check-ins were great! It was also very handy to be able to DM Jessica if I ever had any questions or concerns between the weekly check-ins.
- The recipes are great! I still use them and some of the breakfasts are my go-to recipes now. I know I feel good when I eat them, and that they're healthy.
- Jessica’s encouragement and positivity were invaluable. Jessica never made me feel like I wasn't doing a good job if I'd missed something, or ate something I probably shouldn't have. She always turned it into learning - How did you feel when you ate that? What did you notice? I never felt like I had to 'hide' anything, because I might get flack for it. That's a big deal.
- I definitely feel more in control of my body now. I have a better understanding of what's going on, and have tools to lean back on if I'm not feeling great. I can reflect on what I've eaten and try to gauge what might be causing me to feel the way I am, and make a change to address it.
- The chronic painful bloating is gone. I still have occasional bloating, and things still irritate my system on occasion, but I don't feel helpless anymore. I know what to do to calm my system down. And when I do get bloated or irritated, my system works through it much faster than it used to. I'm not suffering for 2+ days - usually a few hours at most. So much of a difference!
- I now focus on protein at meals. This was never really on my radar before. I don't get it right at every meal, but certainly the majority of them. I notice a difference when I don't eat enough protein.
I have my body back, and no longer feel helpless and blindly searching for answers. This programming and support from Jessica has changed my mindset, my attitude, and my life in general!
No matter how much research you do on your own, it is tremendously helpful to have someone help guide you through the process and help identify what's going on. As a Healthcare Professional, I felt I should be able to figure some of this out on my own, but I did not have the knowledge base to get where I am today. There is TOO MUCH information out there to wade through, to know what is relevant to me or not.
I carry forward all the knowledge I've gained through the process, including the knowledge that you can bring your body back to a healthy place after years of discomfort and inflammation. I also now have Jessica as a resource to reach out to in the future – someone I trust to guide me - should any issues arise.
I'm proud that I took a leap of faith and trusted Jessica. There are no guarantees in life. My gut instinct said this was the right path for me, and I listened to it. It's the best investment in my health I could have made.
If you are willing to put in the work, it is 1000% worth it. Jessica has the knowledge and tools to help you take control of your body again, but it won't be easy. There's no magic pill that you take to fix it all. It's a process that takes time and commitment on your part, but the results are absolutely worth it!"
Chantal - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
"I am proud that I have been able to get my health back under control! I was becoming defeated, as with everything that I had tried or been through, nothing seemed to make a meaningful impact on my Colitis/overall health. I was struggling to maintain the inflammatory markers in my blood work and was struggling to get my Ulcerative Colitis back into remission. I didn't have any hesitation in partnering with Jessica, as I know that modern medicine is not always the only solution to health problems. Jessica was recommended through a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and this individual spoke highly of her. It was also a bonus knowing that Jessica has a lot of experience working with clients with IBD or gut-related issues. I felt as if I had tried every other option to improve my health. I had felt very fatigued and overall worn out for a very long time. I have now noticed my energy levels increasing and have also seen my blood work results improve! These changes have allowed me to be more present in my life and gave me a confidence boost that things are finally improving! They've allowed me to have a better overall life and have helped me strengthen my relationships. Having a new born daughter as well, reassured me that I wouldn't miss out on memories due to Colitis. My biggest takeaways are that I am no longer considered 'Pre-Diabetic' and my Colitis is heading in the right direction when it comes to inflammation. I was told early on in my diagnosis that I need to be my own champion for my health as no one else will be. This type of support was what I needed and improved many aspects of my life, including bringing excitement back to food!"
Jordan ~ Guelph, Ontario, Canada
"This programming benefitted Jordan greatly! It was eye-opening, in terms of how the learning teaches you to really be in tune with yourself! Between the regular interactions with Jessica and through the learning portal available, Jordan was able to take accountability and put health in the forefront as #1 priority. Jordan has become more confident and optimistic about this health journey! I am really proud of Jordan’s shifts with both mindset and our love life. I’d recommend this program to anyone who wants to regain their confidence, take control and find joy in the small things again!”
Jordan's Spouse - Guelph, Ontario, Canada
“Jessica’s knowledge of nutrition is outstanding, and she was able to pinpoint deficiencies in my diet that were incredibly significant. By partnering together, I now have improved digestion, improved energy levels, more confidence in the kitchen, am inspired by food and in more control of my lifestyle! Working with Jessica was a life-changing experience. Today, I feel both empowered and inspired to become (and remain) my best and healthiest self!”
Anna ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
“I had never worked with a nutritionist and so I didn't really know what to expect. I was worried about having to open up about my habits, but knew that being honest would get me the results I wanted. Jessica was extremely friendly, attentive and non-judgemental. Any worries I had quickly dissipated, as she is extremely professional and knowledgeable. My main goal was to break bad habits and focus on eating whole foods. In addition to eating a balanced diet, I wanted to focus on ways to improve my digestion. Jessica recommended removing dairy from my diet as a starting point, based on my symptoms, and this was truly life-changing in and of itself! I would highly recommend Jessica Pecush to my friends and family. She is kind, informed and passionate about her work and it shows, with her vast knowledge and delicious and healthy recipe ideas. I was thrilled with what she provided me! I am extremely pleased with my decision to work with Jessica and recommend her highly! She provides many possibilities for following a path that best suits your personal goals and lifestyle."
Angelique ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Jessica was understanding and never made us feel judged for our not-so-great habits. The best part was that she didn't want us to change over night, but take our plan and lay it out over time to adjust our lifestyle and mindset toward our end goal. We're now eating breakfast daily, are trying to eat more regularly, have a shopping list, and stick to it! Now, we experience less stomach issues, have a plan we like, and rely on for the right foods to help us live more healthily. I would recommend Jessica, as her professionalism and follow-through are superior."

1:1 & Small Group Culinary Workshops
"I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone - her personality and teaching style are excellent. I learned much more than I ever expected and have continued to cook all of the recipes we went over during our time together. I have also grown my confidence and have experimented with many different ingredients, using her recipes as a baseline. Jessica made the two culinary sessions I spent with her interesting, fun and enjoyable - her teaching ability and approach to sharing knowledge are exceptional!"
Lisa ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Jessica is amazing! Her cooking classes and nutritional consulting were very informative. Jessica brings in just the right details and organization that made the classes easy-to-follow and fun. Jessica really adapts the classes to the client's needs; her passion for what she does is easy to see! I would highly recommend Jessica!"
Cheryl ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Struggling with health issues, I am always trying to find ways to boost my immune system naturally with food, but I have always felt overwhelmed by all the information out there. I also have the added challenge of needing to make meals that my three kids will eat as well. This workshop was a great way to get introduced to new ingredients, to make and eat delicious food, to get some information and to ask lots of questions. I make the creamy turmeric milk all the time...yum! I can't wait to go to another workshop!"
Natalie ~ Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
"A group of friends and I hired Jessica for a plant-based, immune-boosting cooking workshop and we had so much fun learning about healthy food options that were all plant-rich and gluten-free! Jessica was so passionate about what she taught us, it's clear she loves what she does and everything we made that evening was delicious. I went home with a bunch of recipes to try and a list of healthy ingredients to add to my pantry. Thanks Jessica, for a fun and informative evening!"
Marie ~ Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

"I have had the pleasure of working with Jessica on a number of Corporate Wellness Workshops. She is excellent! Jessica has a true passion for helping others and it shows! She is always very prepared, flexible, and brings the most delicious healthy food and resourceful handouts for everyone. I would highly recommend her to companies looking to educate and inspire their employees to live a healthier, happier life!"
Chelsey ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Jessica visited our workplace to conduct a 60-minute Corporate Wellness Workshop and she was an excellent presenter! The content was very informative - practical and useful information on healthy eating and self-care in the workplace. I solicited feedback from the staff who attended and overall, the feedback was very positive - the overall content was very interesting and informative, the bone broth samples were great and the recipe bundle was so enjoyed!"
Stephanie ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Our staff enjoyed our recent Corporate Wellness Workshop - it had a lot of helpful information! Jessica's handouts supported the topic and were a great addition, as we were able to reference them afterwards. I learned something I could apply to my everyday life and Jessica had a lot of different recipes to share. She was very knowledgeable with her answers to questions that came up throughout and at the end of the session, was very nice and is knowledgeable in her field!"
Alyson ~ Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Jessica's recent Corporate Wellness Workshop was focused on 'How Clean is Your Eating?' - a topic selected by our staff, so a topic of particular interest to them! Almost all staff were able to attend the session and they agreed Jessica was a well-informed and an excellent presenter! The handouts (including recipes) were excellent. I would definitely recommend Jessica. She is very professional and is well-informed and organized, which is especially important for shorter sessions."
Catherine - Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"Jessica was able to support our staff during a recent Corporate Wellness Workshop by providing them food ideas that are healthier, along with sample recipes. She provided them different cooking ideas, including what types of anti-inflammatory ingredients to cook with. I enjoyed learning a new approach with various (anti-inflammatory) oils you can use for cooking, as well as preparing food options that are healthier, such as bone broth. I learned that quite a few staff members enjoyed what they were shown and learned something from the session. I would recommend Jessica because what she taught us can be applied to our everyday, busy lives, and because it was interesting!"
