and the results they've experienced working with Jillian.
“When I was diagnosed with PCOS I was not ovulating or having a regular cycle. I felt frustrated from lack of information from my doctor and the only solution I was offered was to see a fertility specialist to help me conceive.
I was hesitant to invest the time and money on a program that I wasn’t sure would work. I didn’t realize how much I would learn and how much I would enjoy working with Jillian.
Jillian has so much knowledge, is very approachable, and really cares about the women she works with.
Physically, I was able to regain my period, ovulate, and get pregnant naturally! Mentally, I felt more in control and confident in making decisions to support my health.”
“There are not enough words to thank Jillian for all of the 1:1 support she has provided. Prior to working with Jillian I had suffered from years of migraines, low energy, anxiety, hives, horrible period related symptoms, and constant bloating and stomach pains. I had been to several doctors that put me on elimination diets or other protocols, but none of it helped get to the root of my problems. Jillian truly changed my life for the best! I finally felt heard and that I was getting answers. Jillian always took the time to ask thoughtful questions and explain test results in detail. I also appreciate the fact that she focused on simple changes, and progress instead of perfection, so that I could create sustainable habits. I am now able to live without ALL of the symptoms I had previously suffered from and am not fearful of certain types of food. Thank you x10000 Jillian!!”
“Working with Jillian was easily the best healthcare experience I’ve ever had. After struggling with weight gain, facial hair, and irregular periods, I was diagnosed with PCOS at 17, put on the birth control pill, and was told to lose weight to make my symptoms go away. I tried all kinds of diets, became very restrictive with foods, and overexercised to the point where I felt like nothing I tried was making any difference in my body. I was having irregular periods, even on the pill, was always exhausted, and no longer knew what was good and healthy for my body.
Jillian changed all of that. When I came to her 9 months ago, I really just wanted to focus on changing my food habits and feel less tired. But Jillian showed me that so much of what I thought was normal about my body - irregular bowel movements, eczema, mood swings, headaches, poor sleep, constant tiredness - were actually side effects of my PCOS, nutritional habits, and my gut microbiome.
Between stool samples, urine analyses, and doing a deep dive into my food, exercise, and sleep habits, we discovered the roots of my problems. I felt like, for the first time, someone was focusing 100% on my individual problems and what might be causing them. Jillian was with me every step of the way, providing resources, words of encouragement, and endless advice to help me overcome any issues that arose.
5 months into the program, I decided to go off my birth control pill - something I hadn’t even considered when starting my work with Jillian - and I was shocked to find that my periods were (and still are!) regular for the first time in my entire life due to the work we’d been doing. My eczema cleared up, my headaches disappeared, my bowel movements became regular, and I have more energy now than I have since I was in middle school (truly!). I walk around now saying, “I can’t believe how good I feel.” Jillian helped me become myself again, and she was absolutely incredible to work with. She is so knowledgable about her field and is incredibly empathetic and understanding. I can’t thank her enough for the impact she’s had my life, and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with PCOS.”
“Jillian is, by far, the best health professional I have ever worked with, and I am not exaggerating when I say that she completely changed my life for the better.
For as long as I remember, I’ve struggled with gut issues and hormonal imbalances that have negatively impacted my life — and I had no idea why. I was never able to find a health professional who was willing to get to the root of the problems, and I was prescribed countless medications that only served as bandaids (or made matters worse).
While working with Jillian, never once did I feel like my diet was restricted, and she always went above and beyond to make sure that I had plenty of food options and that I had a routine that felt best for me. Jillian puts SO much thought into her recommendations and into every session, and she makes sure that her client always fully understands what’s going on and why they may be feeling a certain way. She is beyond brilliant, attentive, caring, and just so wonderful to work with. It was bittersweet when our time together ended, but it only ended because she got me to a point where I could live and enjoy life again. THANK YOU, JILLIAN. You’re just the best.”
“I can’t express how grateful I am for my time spent working with Courtney, and Jillian’s practice! I started working with Court back in June of 2023 after working with a different functional medicine provider in the Fall of 2022. The previous provider didn’t address the root cause of my issues and felt more like a one size fits all solution, so I came to Court desperate for answers. I had the worst acne I’ve had in my life, fatigue to the point of needing a nap in the middle of my workday, nonstop anxiety, constant stomach aches and irregular bowel movements, and digestive problems and bloating.
From the very beginning Court was thoughtful, friendly, and compassionate. I felt so comfortable expressing all of my symptoms, concerns, and insecurities. Throughout our time together I learned so much, from the basic building blocks of a healthy daily routine, how our mind and body are connected, all of the different factors that play a role in health, a deep dive into functional lab test results, and so much more. Not only could I see the progress on the lab tests but I could also feel it in my body. My skin is the clearest it’s been in years, I have energy all throughout the day, my anxiety has improved so much and I now have coping skills to continue using, I have regular bowel movements, and my body is less sensitive to travel or a change in routine, just to name a few!
I didn’t think it was possible to get here, but here I am! I’m truly so grateful for Court and was so sad to have our last session as she is a ray of light and provided so much support during this process, but I feel so confident in my future knowing I have the tools and knowledge to last me a lifetime. If you’re feeling stuck I highly recommend working with Jillian’s practice, it’s the best investment I’ve ever made and you will gain knowledge and tools to live your best/healthiest life! Healing is possible!”
“When I came to Jillian, I had tried ALL the things and listened to ALL the podcasts and couldn’t seem to make progress with my health. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and realistic (she really comes from a place of what’s doable for you individually). She was the first health care practitioner that listened to me and believed me about how much I was doing, what I was eating, and how my body felt. Most of all, what she recommends actually works. The time I spent working with her changed my life. These days, I consume almost no health content (don’t need to - I know how to best support my body), I’m no longer hypervigilant about food, my PCOS symptoms resolved, and I got pregnant. It’s a big investment - but worth it many times over. Jillian believed in my body when I was exhausted and couldn’t anymore - life is brighter on the other side of my work with her.”
“I partnered with Jillian for four months primarily to address acne, which I struggled with most of my life. We first started with a series of tests, and based on the results, she recommended nutrition and lifestyle changes that I could easily maintain versus overhauling what I was currently doing. Jillian listened to my feedback the entire time during our biweekly check-ins and made adjustments on areas, including ensuring I was getting most nutrition from foods versus supplements and implementing lifestyle changes to address cortisol spikes. For the first time in my life, I received compliments on my clear skin, and I often leave the house without make-up. I would highly recommend Jillian and wished that I had been referred to her sooner! I now save a lot of money by not needing to buy expensive topical products!”
“I’ve been seeing Jillian for nutrition therapy for one year this month. I first started seeing her after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and continued seeing her through my pregnancy. Over the last year I’ve met various medical professionals given the celiac and the pregnancy and Jillian is the only provider who has holistically looked at my health. Every other provider - all experts in their own right, certainly - is so siloed in their respective speciality and looked at me more as a specific body part rather than an entire person. As a result, I truly believe that Jillian has provided the best care of anyone because she always takes into account my entire body and all of my symptoms. There is no way I could have figured out how to navigate the celiac, the pregnancy or my health overall without her expertise and guidance. If for any reason you are considering meeting with a dietitian, I give Jillian my highest recommendation and look forward to continuing to work with her postpartum. Her style is direct and she takes a non-diet approach so anyone will be in good hands with Jillian!”
“I found Jillian’s practice when I was so frustrated in my health journey - I felt stuck on hormonal birth control, which I knew had been masking my PCOS symptoms for almost 10 years. Jillian connected me with Courtney and I truly could not be more grateful to have worked with her for the past year. With Courtney’s guidance and support, I was able to transition off hormonal birth control and keep all PCOS symptoms at bay. Hormonal acne was a huge issue I had dealt with after trying to come off hormonal birth control in the past (about 5 years prior) and was absolutely my biggest fear coming off the pill again, but my skin never even flared. I’m 9 months post birth control now and could not feel more empowered or grateful - I can’t imagine the journey going smoother. But of course in the moment, there were fears and what ifs and I am so glad I had Courtney by my side the whole time. She is encouraging and patient and fosters such a safe space. She really takes the time to explain everything and provides tons of resources. While my primary goal was to get my period back and keep PCOS symptoms at bay, I learned so much that will benefit my health for the rest of my life. I couldn’t recommend working with Courtney enough.”
“I came to Jillian after deciding to come off birth control and start focusing on preconception care. Before birth control I experienced years of painful and heavy periods and I felt like my doctor’s advice of just starting a prenatal wasn’t enough.
I signed up for the 6 month program which allowed me to do initial tests and then retests to see how I was progressing. From our sessions, Jillian showed me how to eat for balanced blood sugar as well as some small tweaks I can make to optimize meals I already enjoy. I also followed a supplement protocol designed specifically for me to target areas where I needed extra support.
Working with Jillian I focused on my diet, exercise, stress management, and specific issues that came up from my labs. Through all of this I was able to treat anxiety naturally and come off of anxiety medication, eliminate severe bloating, stopped getting random hives, stopped having night sweats, and I didn’t have the severe cramps I was afraid that would come back after birth control. And most importantly, I found out I was pregnant right before our last session together! I feel confident that my body is now ready for this new chapter in my life equipped with a healthy gut, balanced hormones, and a good mindset!”
“I can’t fully put into words how much Jillian has changed my life through transforming my understanding of and relationship with food.
She truly cares about her clients, and is willing to do what it takes to get them the care that they need. She provided me with an individualized experience, and worked to go beyond basic nutritional tools to target my specific needs. She seemed honestly invested in my health journey and my personal path, and provided support well beyond what I came in expecting.
Jillian is a brilliant nutritionist, caring person, and true advocate for health. I credit her with changing my understanding of food and nutrition, and I am grateful to have been able to work with her. Each of our meetings were filled with realistic advice, positive energy, and insightful comments.
I would recommend Jillian to anyone and everyone!”
“Can’t recommend Jillian enough - such a great investment in yourself. After experiencing extreme fatigue, painful acne, bloating, hair loss, and so much more, I was able to work with Jillian to get my life back!
I can’t express the changes I’ve seen since starting Jillian. My cortisol levels were over 400 and after 6 months of 1:1 treatment and support it’s not below 20. We healed my acne with no accutane and I have zero bloating now.
She really goes above and beyond to help for your future. Great recipes, lab testing and supplements - worth every penny! Still can’t believe my own before and after transformation.”
“I am so grateful to have worked with Jillian this year. I was experiencing severe hormonal breast pain and was unsatisfied with the care that I had received from my conventional PCP and the BI Breast Clinic. After multiple mammograms, biopsies and several dr’s appts, and no answers, I was desperate for help. Jillian was the answer to my prayers and helped me demystify my hormones while helping me successfully improve my symptoms through nutrition, supplements and lifestyle changes. Jillian offered so much support with meal planning, recipes, educated me on how to support my body in reducing excess estrogen, and helped me learn to simplify where I needed it. I never expected to learn so much about myself and my relationship with food through this journey but Jillian’s expertise and guidance was a game changer. In my time working with Jillian, I have improved menstrual cycles, dramatically less breast pain and a renewed relationship with myself and food. I am indebted to the support that she gave me and for the tools that she has given me to support my body. I can’t recommend Jillian enough if you’re experiencing hormonal challenges and need an advocate for your health. Also, I know that I’ll be cooking some of your recipes for life. Thank you, Jillian for everything that you do for women’s health! ”
“Working with Jillian has been transformational experience! She is such a lovely person who makes me feel empowered.
I was told on and off I have PCOS since the age of 16. Once I turned 23, I began seeing Jillian when I felt dominated by my symptoms. Growing up not exposed to functional medicine, I followed regimes of birth control, antibiotics, and harsh acne medicines (Accutane included) only seeing temporary results, if any at all. Jillian and I began working at the root of my symptoms and the results were outstanding!
I wake up feeling energized versus swollen, puffy, and bloated. I no longer crash in the afternoon. My cravings for sweets subsided. My skin is the clearest it has has been in years and even my acne scars have lightened. Also, my knee pain went away!
Jillian has provided me with a foundation for my future health. I recommend her to everyone because she truly is the best!”
“I’ve been someone who has struggled with stomach issues for as long as I can remember. Every diagnosis I received was a blanket statement of IBS, and over the years I’d have what I thought were flare ups. It wasn’t until I stopped taking hormonal birth control after 12 years that my health started to go haywire. I gained more weight than I was comfortable with, but more concerning was the extreme bloat and horrible periods.
Enter: Jillian. I came to her feeling defeated by a lack of solutions provided by my PCP. She quickly devised a plan to hormone test as well as additional testing for digestive issues - both tests provided data and information that I may of never known had she not listened to my concerns and taken action. Over the course of one year, she was able to guide me back to a place of stability, both hormonally, with digestive issues, and nutritionally.
Jillian is truly understanding of the female body, in that if something feels off, it likely is - and that was a massive aide in my progress. She provided the right testing, supplements, and nutritional knowledge needed to abolish my symptoms. I now have normal (and cramp free!!!) periods due to Jillian’s thorough assessment and vast knowledge of hormonal health. On top of that (as well as probably connected), she was able to run the additional tests to determine the best go ahead for the remaining digestive problems, and they are also on the mend.
No woman should have to live in discomfort. It’s incredibly freeing to move forward in life having applicable nutritional know-how, an easy period week, and a stable stomach - all of which I would’ve previously just “lived with”. Thank you again to Jillian for changing the course of my health and wellness; she is absolutely the best choice for anyone struggling through the same issues!”
“Working with Jillian was such a blessing! After years of struggling with IBS and no help from doctors, she helped me get my gut health under control. She enabled me to change my relationship with food, establish healthy eating habits, and heal my stomach pains. I’m so thankful for my time with Jillian and HIGHLY recommend her!”
“As a dietitian myself who has seen multiple dietitians, I can safely say I have a lot of experience with this stuff on both sides! After healing from SIBO and yeast overgrowth once, I decided to see Jillian again when I could tell my symptoms were back a second time. Around the same time I had also gone on the pill which totally messed me up hormonally. After coming off it, she helped straighten out my gut and my hormones and I feel better now than ever before. She has the best testing, supplements, and evidenced based care at her fingertips to get you feeling better. Jillian takes the time to really work through the underlying causes of your symptoms to get to the bottom of the way you’re feeling. I am so grateful for her guidance and support and would highly recommend her to anyone with GI or women’s health issues!”
