Jennifer Hooker, MHS, PA-C is a board-certified and licensed physician assistant who joined South Suburban Family Medicine – Denver’s Diet Doctor team in 2018. She has worked the past two years with an orthopedic group in Aberdeen, Washington following her training in general primary care.

Jennifer is a Colorado native and excited to be back in her home state. Her passion for ancestral health began several years ago after her own struggles with being overweight led her down the high-carb, low-fat road and further health issues. Jennifer found solutions though the ancestral approach to diet and lifestyle. She loves helping her patients navigate through the confusing and often contradictory nutrition advice that is so common today, and assisting them in preventing progression and even reversing their diabetes. She emphasizes the importance of a pre-agricultural, whole, unprocessed diet for disease prevention and health maintenance.

Jennifer completed her physician assistant training and received her master’s degree in health sciences at South College in 2015, and her bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Regis University in 2010. She has more than 10 years of experience in the healthcare field, caring for people of all ages. In her free time, she loves getting outside for hikes, and being active in yoga and CrossFit.
