Dr. Jane Pentz
Dr.
Jane began her career in nutrition with an undergraduate degree in nutritional
biochemistry from Vassar College while simultaneously raising three children.
Her education continued at Tufts University where she received her Masters and
Ph.D. degrees in nutritional biochemistry; she is one of only several hundred
to ever earn a Ph.D. in Human Nutrition Sciences from the USDA Human Nutrition
Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. In addition, Dr. Jane worked with the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center’s team that completed ground breaking research on the effects of weight training in 80 and 90 year olds. She is also a graduate member of the American College of Sports Medicine, and a continuing education provider for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the American Council on Exercise, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the American Fitness Association of America, the American Dietetics Association, Boston City Schools (and other school districts throughout the country), and the MA Nurses Association.
As the president and CEO of Lifestyle Management Associates, a company dedicated to providing the highest quality nutrition education to professionals, Dr. Jane developed the Nutrition for Professionals course; authored the manual for the course; and her book, “If You Don’t Take Care of Your Body, Where Are You Going to Live!”, contains the philosophy of healthy eating along with individualized menu plans. Dr. Jane has also developed a home study (audio/web based course), Incorporating Nutrition. This course is designed to educate health and fitness professionals on how to incorporate nutrition into their programs safely, professionally, and legally by adhering to all state licensure laws and the American Dietetics Association guidelines.
After almost a decade of experience, Dr. Jane became aware of the need for a more formalized, safe and professionally accepted nutrition education component for fitness professionals. Dr. Jane has developed the Nutrition Manager Consultant program, a unique weight management program now being implemented by specially trainer health professionals and dietitians. Dr. Jane has also designed accompanying software which allows Nutrition Manager Consultants to not only implement the weight management program, but to also perform diet analyses; caloric needs analyses; flag nutrient deficiencies/toxicities; provide custom menu plans; and much, much more. Nutrition Manager consultants (that are not dietitians) confer with a certified American Academy of Sports Dietitian / Nutritionist to provide safe, effective, and professionally accepted weight management programs.
