Hi, I’m Jennifer Gibbons, the founder of Exploring Your Health. This dream was born out of a deeply personal journey that began in 2017 when I faced one of life’s biggest challenges: a cancer diagnosis. The news came as a complete shock—I had no family history, no underlying medical conditions, exercised regularly, and was mindful of my diet. Yet, that unexpected moment became the catalyst for my mission to empower others to take control of their health.
One of my greatest passions is helping people who struggle with their weight take back control of their lives. Having personally struggled with weight for much of my adult life, I know firsthand how difficult and overwhelming the journey can feel. That’s why I’m dedicated to guiding and supporting my patients through impactful lifestyle changes in nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
At Exploring Your Health, I focus on more than just weight loss—I strive to help my patients achieve lasting results while improving their overall health. Weight loss has a profound impact on the entire body, including boosting metabolic health, improving insulin sensitivity, balancing hormones, and strengthening the cardiovascular system. My approach combines the latest medical therapies, personalized coaching, and the accountability and encouragement people need to make lasting changes. My ultimate goal is to help my patients shed the weight, maintain proper nutrition, and keep it off for good, empowering them to live fuller and healthier lives.
Determined to offer solutions beyond the traditional healthcare system, I went back to school and earned my Master’s in Nursing with a focus on family practice. I became a board-certified nurse practitioner, driven by a passion to uncover the root causes of health challenges and offer natural, integrative therapies. My approach focuses on addressing the whole person—not just the symptoms—so my patients can achieve optimal wellness.
With over 25 years of experience as a registered nurse—primarily in post-anesthesia care and legal nursing—I’ve spent the last four years focusing exclusively on functional medicine and aesthetics. I’m certified as a Primal Health Coach and a Lifestyle Medicine Diplomate through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. My training also includes advanced cadaver anatomy with Cotofana Anatomy, and I’m proud to offer neurotoxin injections for wrinkles, TMJ, and migraines as part of my services.
Beyond my professional life, I’m passionate about helping others embrace movement and joy. I teach Jazzercise several times a week in League City, Texas, combining my love of exercise and music while inspiring my students to have fun and stay active.
On a personal note, I’m blessed with a wonderfully supportive husband (who also serves as my medical director), three amazing daughters, a grandson who lights up my world, and two furry companions—a dog and a cat. Together, we’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and purpose.
At Exploring Your Health, my mission is simple: to help you achieve a healthier, fuller, and more vibrant life. Whether you’re looking to lose weight and transform your metabolic health, break free from reliance on pharmaceuticals, optimize your wellness, or feel more confident through aesthetic treatments, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s explore your health together and unlock your potential for a brighter future.
