We change lives for a living.

Our Medical Advisory Board

Its members are recognized leaders in the fields of medicine, nutrition, exercise and the psychology of change—all critical components of the Jenny Craig Program. The Medical Advisory Board members provide ongoing counsel to update the education and lifestyle strategies Jenny Craig provides clients to enhance the effectiveness of the Program. The Medical Advisory Board members play a pivotal role in the development of the nutritional and exercise components of the weight loss portion of the Program as well as the design of the Maintenance Program.
