FAA Medical Nutrition
Lower your blood pressure or blood sugar to preserve your FAA Medical Certification
If you’re an airline transport pilot or air traffic controller, you must meet strict blood pressure and blood sugar limits at your annual or semi-annual physical. If you’ve recently failed (or think you might fail) your FAA Medical due to high blood pressure or blood sugar, my confidential aviation nutrition coaching can help you get those numbers down.
Most aviation professionals who come to me after losing their FAA Medical Exam Certificate are are back to work in 90 days.

Listen, I have seen airline transport pilots and air traffic controllers get recertified after an exam failure in less than 6 months. Yes, getting them back in the flight deck or tower was key, but hearing the report of how much better they feel as well as the peace-of-mind they are taking care of their life is the real game changer for me.
Lab Testing Services
Health problems can creep up on aviation professionals, putting your profession at risk. Don’t get caught off guard! I urge anyone who holds a FAA Medical to get lab tests at least once a year so you have time for a course correction.
I’ve made the process simple and confidential.

WHAT DOES LAB TESTING INCLUDE?
Lab testing is the only certain way to know your current health status prior to your FAA medical exam. Every month, I receive calls from numerous pilots who failed their FAA Medical Exam due to high blood sugar or blood pressure that they weren’t aware had crossed the strict FAA limits.
Without knowing blood sugar and cholesterol numbers, improving your health is a guessing game. Therefore, I require annual lab testing as part of my FAA Medical Nutrition Coaching. (Your cholesterol and blood sugar can contribute to high blood pressure.)
Once we have a complete picture of your health, we can better determine where to place our focus.
This does require a blood draw and external appointment ordered by me.
With the lab package purchase, you will receive the following:
- One 60-minute meeting, where we will review your tests and discuss next steps
- Password protected individual portal with:
- Workbook and instructions on how to schedule and prepare for testing
- Ability to self schedule your meeting with me and your lab test
- Secure voice and text messaging with all messages answered in 24 hours or less
- Offer for 1:1 coaching for expert resolution of any discovered conditions (1:1 coaching is an additional price)
WHO CAN PURCHASE LAB TESTING?
Airline transport pilots who fly for commercial carriers and air traffic controllers.
Additionally, anyone that holds a FAA Medical Certificate.
Blood drawn lab testing is not possible for residents AZ, NJ, NY, and RI.
Email me: ji**@***************an.com to discuss lab testing if you live in one of these states.
HOW ARE LAB TESTS ADMINISTERED?
Lab tests are purchased through this website, then ordered under my Electronic Records Management (EMR) system. My system is a cash pay system, so it does not get billed through your health insurance. Blood drawn testing is performed by Quest and LabCorp. Results are reported through my (EMR), which is secure and password protected.
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
I do not take insurance. However, I have the ability to write a Superbill that can be filed for reimbursement with your health insurance carrier. In addition, you can use your health savings cards to pay for any of my services including lab testing.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GET MY LAB RESULTS?
You and I meet virtually to discuss the results of your testing. If there are things to work on, we can discuss 1:1 personalized coaching, or you can determine what virtual course will help you improve your lab results.

DO YOU PROVIDE MEAL PLANS?
My goal is to coach you directly on foods that 1) will help reverse your condition, and 2) you enjoy. I want to provide you with abundant options that fit your aviation lifestyle and that you can apply flexibly wherever you go. I do provide meal plans for work trips and general recipes for at home basis.
If you’re looking for support on recipes and meal planning, you may be more interested in my Aviation Meal Planning Membership.
ARE THERE FOODS THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED? WILL I HAVE TO GIVE THINGS UP?
My food philosophy can be described as “all foods fit.” If you drink soda or have a sweet tooth, we work around how to fit in what you enjoy. Deprivation does not work well long term and, therefore, I meet you where you are in your journey. While receiving a deferred FAA medical is scary, one food did not get you where you currently are! It’s been weeks, months, and years of choices that caused your condition. I will teach you how to enjoy life and never fear your FAA medical again.
WHAT IF I DON’T SEE RESULTS? DO YOU OFFER A REFUND?
I do not offer refunds. If you’ve done the work I provided to you, you should see results. If it takes longer than 3 months, I offer reduced priced coaching after the first 3 months. Most of my past clients have attained their goals in the 3 months together. 1:1 coaching takes a commitment from you. I promise to support and guide you well.
