You're exhausted all the time and it's impacting Your life

This isn’t laziness. It isn’t just stress. It’s your body sending signals that something deeper is out of balance.
Meet Nicole Fennel Functional Dietitian

 

You're busy. You're smart. You've done the research. You know you shouldn't feel this tired all the time. 

 👉🏼You feel exhausted all day no matter what you do
👉🏼 No matter how much sleep you get, you wake up feeling exhausted
👉🏼 Your brain feels foggy and unfocused
👉🏼 It's more than the 2pm crash, it's extreme and constant
👉🏼 And worst of all? Your provider says "everything looks normal, see ya next year!" 

Ugh. The. Worst. 😵‍💫 

 

"Working with Nicole and Chews Food Wisely has literally changed my life. I've known for a long time that something was going on medically, but doctors kept telling me that my labs looked normal and it was in my head."

Casey F.

You’ve tried sleeping more. You’ve tried coffee. You’ve tried “pushing through.” Yet the exhaustion lingers. The brain fog, the 3PM crash, the mornings where you wake up tired all over again. You can't do this alone.

 I help People get to the Root Cause of Exhaustion, Bloat, & Brain Fog

Here's how it works:

I have never been so excited to get my PERIOD!!! I started with Nicole & Emily in April 2025 and got my period Sep 2025. I was on hormonal birth control over 10+ years and got off it for 1.5 years with no cycle the WHOLE TIME.

I met with countless gynecologists & fertility specialists to see if they could guide me in the right direction to find the root cause but the only answer they could provide me was that my age (40) was the reason I didn't have a cycle. I came to all the doctors with a spreadsheet of my historical labs/hormones (that wildly fluctuated, even when I did labs 4 weeks in a row). Not only was I dismissed, no one even bothered to look at the labs I did provide. I started acupuncture in October 2024 and my symptoms improved but still no cycle so I knew I needed extra help to learn how to fuel myself properly. I went down the rabbit hole and learned about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and discovered I was unintentionally undereating 700-800 calories after I started keeping track of my intake. I had been eating this way since I was a kid.

I was constantly tired, needing to take naps in the afternoons, it was so bad even my prescribed stimulant wouldn't work. My symptoms that I assumed were normal because it was how I had been functioning for years and body got used to it? Afternoon energy crashes, constantly freezing cold hands & feet, waking up in the middle of the night at 2-4 am and not being able to fall back to sleep, brittle nails, hair loss (my hair stylist commented on it several times), lackluster skin, constipation, irregular bowel movements. After talking with several nutritionists I was on the fence with, I reached out to my friend Tori to ask her for a referral and she led me to ChewsFoodWisely. I sent her my historical labs and she did a brief overview on where there are potential indicators of deficiencies. It was the first time I felt heard. My labs were not ideal and she pointed out key numbers and how they correlated with each other but we needed more in depth labs to truly get an understanding of what I needed specifically. At no point was I pressured to "sign up" or work with them. It was time that I invested in my health and did the weekly payment plan. We did micronutrient testing, gut microbiome testing, hair analysis and sure enough all of my results came back with the results I suspected. Nutritional deficiencies and chronic inflammation. Nicole & Emily came up with a protocol to add specific vitamins and supplements and we worked on increasing my food intake that was sustainable. It wasn't easy, especially in the beginning but they worked with what I enjoyed and could eat. I started easy, making sure I ate breakfast even if it was just a cup of bone broth. Then increased to bone broth with a little bit of chicken and veggies. I tried yogurt but discovered we are NOT friends. Emily was so encouraging and would help point out things I could add to my picture food journals to create a balanced meal. We had some moments where some foods I was eating just didn't sit right with me but so thankful the team could provide alternatives without me sitting here trying to spin my wheels. Slowly but surely I saw changes in my body. My nails were growing, my stomach would rumble in the morning when I woke up (hello, please feed me!) and my gut health/bowel movements got better, and one day I realized I wasn't getting an afternoon crash! I had to adjust my mindset on how much food to BUY in order to even have enough protein, fruit, veggies, carbs (our friend!) to have at home to eat. I loved the education modules, no calorie counting, learning how to have a balanced plate. Emily held me accountable but was also encouraging and confident we could get my cycle back. I highly recommend the team and would not have been able to do it without their expertise!!!

This review is long overdue but definitely a testimony to how wonderful Nicole is. Our journey with her began in 2021after chasing answers for ten years. My daughter had a lot of health issues that were never properly diagnosed. She saw multiple doctors, specialists, had lots of bloodwork, and other testing along the way. The result was always the same - your results are within the levels. Needless to say we had almost given up hope. Through all of my online searching I ran across a lady praising Nicole for restoring her health so my daughter agreed she would give the program a try. Best decision of our lives! Here we are four years later and thanks to Nicole my daughter has the knowledge and tools to manage and keep her health intact. To this day, my daughter says after all the doctors she encountered over her ten year journey, Nicole is the only one that actually took the time to scour over all her past medical notes, truly listen to her concerns, and make her feel like they were partnering in the journey together. We are forever appreciative for Nicole's willingness to dive deep and find answers for those who feel brushed off and unheard while battling health issues.

I can’t recommend Chews Food Wisely enough! Before starting the program, I was feeling sluggish, low on energy, and pretty defeated. From day one, the personalized support from Emily, practical tools, and regular check-ins kept me on track and motivated in a way I had never experienced before.

Now, I feel inspired, hopeful, and empowered to keep building on the healthy habits I’ve learned. This program hasn’t just improved my physical health — it’s positively impacted every other area of my life. Everything feels connected, and I’m so grateful for the encouragement and guidance I’ve received along the way.

If you’re looking for a program that truly meets you where you are and helps you create lasting change, this is it!

It’s really hard to make changes when there’s not a plan, structure or education. CFW provides that and so much more. Nicole is patient, open minded and transparent with her own experiences. She’s a cheerleader for patient progress but also someone that provides comfort when the journey becomes difficult. I can’t recommend Chews Food Wisely enough. I’m forever in a better place, because I made the choice to work with them.

I decided to start the program with Chews Food Wisely because my PCOS symptoms were getting worse over the years. I was so tired all the time, no energy, mood swings and would only get my period once a year. Working with Emily was awesome! She was so patient and understanding in explaining all of my results from blood work and tests and what was actually going on with my body and making recommendations to combat my symptoms accordingly. Months later, I have energy again, stable moods, got my period more regulated (and lost weight as an added bonus). The knowledge and experience to better my body gained going through this program is invaluable!

I cannot recommend Chews Food Wisely enaugh! I have been strugling with Hashimoto since 2019, and after months being dismissed by conventional medicine doctors, I finally felt heard and supported. My thyroid results never been better since I got my diagnosis. Nicole and Emily did not just treat my symptoms- but looked at everything from thyroid labs to nutritional deficiencies (hair evaluation was also included). Bye bye weight! None of my doctors looked at my nutrition, supplements and lifestyle changes to that level. What really stood out how thorough and compassionate they were. You want a different life- get in touch with Chews Food Wisely!

Highly Recommend!
I had spent a couple years and thousands of dollars getting tests done with various doctors for my Hashimoto Thyroiditis as I didn't want to just go on thyroid meds. I was tired and frustrated and about to give up. But, fortunately, my trainer recommended Nicole. I did a HTMA analysis -- and most importantly -- Nicole helped me understand what it and my many other labs were saying about my nutrient deficiencies and what I could do with food and supplements to better support my body. I've been following the plan for about 6 months now and am feeling better and my labs are showing improvement. I look forward to continuing to work with her to support my wellness.

Prior to working with CFW I received a hashimoto's diagnosis and had no idea where to even being. I was too tired to take care of myself, stressed/anxious all the time and overall just not feeling my best. I found CFW and was so excited to get started with Nicole & Emily! They were absolutely amazing & I am so glad that I did their 1:1 program. I worked with Emily, she was the best! She is so kind and SO knowledgeable in all things health/ wellness, fertility & hashimotos.
Since completing my program I am feeling so much more energized and confident in fueling my body. My symptoms aren't 100% gone yet, but CFW helps you set short term goals that make life time habits. Everything I learned from CFW will help me and my family long term. Thank you Chews Food Wisely!

I met Nicole back in 2019 and consider her a key asset in my healthcare provider team. I would say Nicole's core strength is her detailed analysis of lab markers, connecting all the dots and delivering a plan of action to her clients in plain language that is easy to process. She never speaks in a way that is alarming but gently guides next steps on helping you feel better in the easiest and simplest ways. She is wicked smart about all things holistic health and has such a superpower in teaching her clients about how the body works. She is such a gem, and anyone who works with her will be beyond pleased with their results. 10/10!

Nicole is an amazing practitioner with a wealth of knowledge who has truly helped me address and resolve health issues that so many other practitioners (MDs, functional med practitioners, naturopaths, holistic wellness practitioners, etc.) were unable to do. She is incredibly empathetic and validating and finally made me feel like I wasn't going crazy. Her constant reassurance that we would get to the bottom of things and that there were always more solutions we could employ if needed helped me stay motivated to keep going even when symptoms persisted at times. I would absolutely recommend working with her for thyroid, hormonal, and/or gut issues (for me, it was all of the above). My only regret is not reaching out to her sooner to address my concerns. You're the best, Nicole, and I'm so grateful!

Chews Food Wisely deserves 10 stars in my opinion! I very highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health through nutrition. I was struggling with the inability to lose weight despite regular diet and exercise; low energy levels especially in the afternoons; and unhealthy skin and hair. I suspected it was all nutrient related but I had no idea how identify it or fix it. After 20 years of dieting and exercising on a regular basis I still struggled with these issues. Nicole immediately did a deep dive into my labs and using a combination or blood and hair samples identified several nutrient deficiencies that were slowing my metabolism down. We corrected the deficiencies with better balanced meals and the weight started dropping. She has created the best educational videos to help me understand why my metabolism stalled and how to correct it. I feel so much better after her 16 week program and I learned so much! I’m confident I can now continue on my own without her daily support. I have two small children and the lifestyle changes we incorporated were doable even with my hectic lifestyle. Chews Food Wisely has changed my life and helped me not only improve my health but also the health of my immediate family.

Nicole's information has been tremendously helpful. Her self course is so full of easy to understand and scientifically based facts that I feel I can make smarter choices for my eating habits. Her knowledge of the intricacies of how the body works with metabolism and chemistry is so comprehensive it makes me feel as if I have a private tutor for a college course. I have been devouring all of the information and will review it again and again in hopes to glean a better understanding of my own health journey. I did the self course and labs and I can't thank her enough for her work. After so many years of being told my labs were normal and being tired is a part of aging, I now know how my own metabolism is causing me to hold onto weight and what to do to become healthier. Communicating with her has been so easy and if you truly want to own your path to a better healthy nutritional plan, follow her on her social media or better yet sign up for one of her many courses. Working with Nicole has been one of the best choices I've made for my own health journey!
