Nurse Practitioner • Sync Life
Jenny Theriot knows the difference it makes when a patient feels heard. Her search for answers to health concerns changed how she approaches care—and taught her to keep asking why.
At Sync Life, the nurse practitioner combines medical training with a functional medicine approach focused on personalized care, prevention and patient education. She wants people to leave an appointment understanding more about their health and feeling equipped to participate in decisions about it.
Her clinical work earned two honors in 2022: Our Lady of the Lake’s Advanced Practice Nurse of the Year and the Baton Rouge District Nurses Association’s Clinical Nurse Excellence Award.
She has helped prepare future practitioners as a preceptor for Franciscan University’s Family Nurse Practitioner Program, guiding graduate students into clinical practice.
Through First United Methodist, her service has included Habitat for Humanity and Kelli’s Kloset, which provides clothing to people undergoing cancer treatment. Supporting Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area extends that commitment to families beyond the clinic.
What I remind myself of each day: “Never stop asking, ‘Is there a better way?’ That mindset has shaped both my personal health journey and my career. It reminds me to stay curious, keep learning, listen carefully and never become so comfortable with what I already know that I stop looking for better answers.”
