Jillian helped transform the way I think about food, and I am confident this will have a life changing impact on my health. Jillian takes a look at the whole person - beliefs, values, attitudes, habits, and routines - and uses these principles to help foster a lifestyle of healthy decision making. For the first time in my wellness journey, I feel like I have found a sustainable way to manage choices that impact my body. Jillian breaks down advanced concepts in nutrition into accessible and digestible chunks of information. This science has given me a foundational knowledge that helps me make decisions that I feel good about at the grocery store or even out to eat. Since working with Jillian my health has improved dramatically. My energy is more stable throughout the day, my athletic performance has increased, my appetite and mood are more regulated, and I mentally and physically feel that I can get all that I need in the meals I'm able to create. This has liberated me from old habits and has helped me see food and wellness in a completely different light. I couldn't speak more highly of this incredible program and how much of a concrete difference it started to make in my life in a matter of weeks.

I have had chronic blood sugar and digestion issues for so long following many years of stress, strict dieting, and over exercising. I always thought I was eating "healthy" and exercising they way I should be. I had come to terms that my digestion and my way of life was normal. I had no idea how good I could feel until I worked with Jillian on my nutrition and my mindset around what healthy really meant. Within one week, I felt a major shift in energy, sleep, mood, hunger, and digestion. I loved working with Jillian. She created an individualized plan that was specific to my needs and goals. She was patient and encouraging with the perfect amount of push. She dove into all aspects of my nutrition which is what is required to make the difference. Jillian is always checking in, sending good food tips and recipes, and is available to answer my questions. To say that this experience has changed my life forever is an understatement. I have no intentions on making this a temporary fix which is another reason working with Jillian has been so great. This is not a traditional diet or "diet" at all. This is a way of life that will change your health for the long haul.

Many of us have that health issue we have normalized over the years, particularly those with a cute name like Hangry. For me, it was indeed the blood sugar crashes that were so routine I could predict my “witching hour” each day. It was through personal training, then friendship, then nutritional therapy with Jillian that I finally asked, “Is this blood sugar regulation something I could work on through diet? Was it not just genetics or just being a woman as doctors loved to say as a teen?” My situation felt mysterious and nuanced - I had been eating a strict whole food diet with no gluten, no refined sugar, and heavily veggie focused meals for many years. I am eating as healthy as I can, I thought. Working together with Jillian, I discovered the importance of diverse macros, and not just color on my plate, what those macros and meal must haves are for me, and a metabolic awareness and reintegration with my body that has largely eliminated the crashes and re-established normal hunger cues. Goodbye Hangry. Your T-shirts and mugs are cute but your time in my life has passed.
