A Personal Journey, A Professional Mission
A tragic end to her father’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was the start of Dr. Jenn’s journey of pursuing her purpose in natural medicine. She witnessed the contributions and gaps in care of both conventional and alternative healthcare at the time. She also noticed the unconscious emotional blocks that contributed to disease, which left her with a deep desire to pursue answers to the many questions she had about the nature of health and healing.
But her questions extended beyond mere healing. Introduced to biohacking, Dr. Jenn realized its potential as a tool to not only remedy illness but elevate healthcare to new heights, envisioning a world where we don’t just fight disease to survive but enjoy long, beautiful lives defined by highest health and happiness.
She believes this future lies in uniting science and spirit to support natural healing and practices it now. With a multidisciplinary approach to diagnostic and therapeutic services that blends naturopathic, integrative, biological, environmental, functional, and mind-body medicine, Dr. Jenn treats the whole person — body, mind, and soul. She utilizes the best of both natural and western medicine, integrating cutting-edge biohacking strategies, to craft personalized healing journeys that address every facet of your health.

Educational Foundation & Achievements
Dr. Jenn received her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Religious Studies from Arizona State University. After acquiring her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, her passion for biological medicine propelled her towards further qualifications.
Inspired by her one-year residency at the American Center for Biological Medicine with distinguished clinicians Dickson Thom, DDS, ND, and Jeoffrey Drobot, NMD, she earned her certification in Swiss Biological Medicine under the mentorship of the esteemed Dr. Thomas Rau, MD.
Over the years, several of Dr. Jenn’s relatives and friends suffered negative health consequences from environmental exposures, including her best friend who battled for her life after exposure to toxic mold. It took almost two years before her friend was able to find a physician who could help. This physician, a Shoemaker Protocol Certified Physician, was able to restore her health, which excited and intrigued Dr. Smith as a practicing physician herself.
She went to hear Dr. Shoemaker’s lecture on Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), mold illness, and the biotoxin pathway. It immediately resonated and felt like the answer to a missing piece she’d witnessed in the recovery of her own patients, especially those with a Lyme Disease diagnosis. Shortly after, she became certified by Dr. Shoemaker, drawing patients and families from around the world seeking her expertise.
Dr. Smith is also a Lyme-literate NMD and member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) as well as a founding Diplomate Member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI). She has also trained with physicians worldwide to increase her acumen in complex chronic disease and Environmental Medicine, including Dr. Walter Crinnion, NMD, Dr. Richard Horowitz, MD, and Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD.
Finding Balance & Embracing Biohacking
In her free time, Dr. Jenn continues to study spirituality and honors each of Earth’s religious and cultural traditions as sacred and complementary. From a holistic viewpoint, when put together like a puzzle, they reveal an intricate picture of our beautiful world. When one piece is damaged or missing, there is a diminishing effect on all.
She believes health and wellness in our bodies work much the same. When balance is compromised or the mind-body-spirit connection is lost, there’s often a quick decline in energy and vitality. If not corrected, imbalance often leads to the onset of more serious conditions.
But for Dr. Jenn, balance isn't merely a bioregulatory concept — it's a daily pursuit. While she seeks solace in nature and cherishes moments with family, she's also an avid biohacker, personally and professionally. Her free time often sees her attending biohacking conferences and retreats centered on spiritual growth and the evolution of human consciousness.
Dr. Jenn's own biohacking journey isn't just about implementing cutting-edge techniques. It's about understanding the science, discerning their benefits and limitations, and embracing the esoteric aspects of the healing journey.
She believes in pushing her own boundaries to better serve her patients, marrying traditional wisdom with modern methodologies. Whether through tech-driven enhancements, nutritional tweaks, or innovative treatments, her commitment to optimizing health, vitality, and wellness is unwavering.
