Traveling nurse practitioner has started a second business for weight loss

Nurse practitioner Jennifer Gaudet has started a new business, which is particularly notable since she just started another one in December.

That’s when she debuted the Traveling NP, in which she visits patients either virtually or by actually traveling to where they are.

“That is doing so well,” she said.

Everyday Wellness is the second business. It’s a weight-loss program Gaudet developed. It’s strictly virtual, meaning Gaudet has video conferences with clients.

“I tackle it more so as a primary care perspective,” Gaudet said of her approach.

She does lab work at the beginning and tailors the program to individuals.

“It’s not like a general, one-size-fits-all” program, she said.

Since she doesn’t have a bricks-and-mortar space, Gaudet said she doesn’t have to charge as much as similar programs.

The initial visit is $100, and monthly follow-ups — when needed — are $50.

Gaudet said she does not do contracts.

“I don’t want my customers to feel like they’re locked in.”

For the Traveling NP, virtual visits are $50, and in-person visits are $100.
