Below are a few powerful testimonials from those who’ve participated in the Gut + Hormone Intensive session. I’ll continue to open the Intensive a couple of times a year to a few participants at a time. As of this writing, it’s currently open.

I came to Jill with a slow, sluggish thyroid (lifelong problem), hair loss around the hairline and hair growth under my chin, fatigue, dark spots, digestive issues, and mental monkey mind.

And oh my goodness, where to begin? The changes that have happened in one month are simply amazing. My skin has cleared up and the hair issues are resolving. I have baby hair coming in at the hairline and the chin growth has notably slowed down. My digestive issues have resolved and I am much more regular. This alone is a great relief. My energy has come back and sleep, digestion, mood, cycle, and clarity have all improved. I am less bloated and inflammation has almost disappeared. Mental fogginess has dissipated and I wake up rested.

My husband reminded me that I don’t startle as much with loud noises. My system feels much “clearer” and more functional. I know that this will continue to increase over time.

And I can tell that my thyroid health is improving. In addressing my Hashimoto’s, I have seen improvements in other areas as well which is a bonus as far as I am concerned.

This Intensive set me off in the right direction which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have explored health solutions in the past but felt overwhelmed by what to do and when to do it. Jill is an amazing listener and in the conversation about my past issues, she was able to put things together that I have been facing for a long time. She certainly made everything clear and direct and it all made logical sense once she explained what we were doing and how to do it. She laid out a path for me to follow and I took it.

Some programs are more interested in you buying the products than getting better. But Jill is willing to share her knowledge now and not dole it out over time through paid sessions. What makes Jill different (and great) to work with is that she has her client’s best interest at heart. She wants her clients to live the best life possible. Her agenda is to get people to help themselves, to untangle the “knots” so that things go smoothly going forward.

I now have a restored confidence in my body and its healing capabilities and I feel in control. There is longevity in my family and I want to face my aging years with confidence and the ability to treat my body right. The return on the investment now will be invaluable later.

Anyone who is suffering from digestive issues, a sluggish thyroid, or hair loss should do this Intensive. It’s been an invaluable resource for me to climb back to good health.

Jill, thank you for everything. This has made such a difference in my life.

This session was life-changing. I don’t know how else to put it. I was skeptical that three hours would give me the tools to make a dent in my wellbeing, but the results speak for themselves. Jill is truly a sleuth. She was able to laser in on a problem I’ve had for decades that no doctor has helped me with. My acid reflux is gone, totally gone. I didn’t know that I’d ever be able to say that. And with Jill’s help, I now understand the other implications of this and how it’s going to pull me out of anemia that I’ve also suffered with for years and the doctors say “just keep taking iron.” There’s so much more to the picture.

Everyone around me has seen a change, including comments that the dark circles under my eyes are gone. My thyroid panel is better than it’s been in years and I’m sleeping through the night. My bloat is 80% better. I could go on, but I’ll leave it at this for now.

If anyone is considering doing this Gut/Hormone Intensive, I’d say it’s likely the best money you’ll spend in years. It was 100% worth every penny.

I felt like my General Practitioner wasn’t taking all things into account when attempting to provide me care. I was struggling to get anyone in their office to just listen to what I was going through in terms of hypothyroidism, recent lymphedema symptoms, pain in my left elbow and knee, and blood test results that were inconsistent and not explained, just written off as occasional blips. I wasn’t able to get even 15 solid minutes with a physician’s assistant at my GP’s office, never mind actually speaking to the GP, which I did not.

So three hours with Jill was amazing! She actually took the time to speak *to* me and listen to me and she didn’t spout the useless clichés like, “Oh you just need to cut down on sugar and carbs and eat a healthier diet.”

I started some of the suggestions and nutraceuticals she suggested and have already seen improvement in my skin and I’ve lost some weight.

I’m more confident in my body and this Intensive gave me a clear path to improve my overall health. I know Jill isn’t a doctor, but anyone who’s tried talking to their GP or an endo or gastro or any other practitioner who doesn’t even give five minutes of their time should do this Intensive.

When I signed up for Jill’s Intensive, I was suffering with fatigue, brain fog, and true exhaustion, all of which have improved. I definitely sleep better, have a more consistent energy throughout the day, and have an understanding of why my body works the way it does. I consider myself fairly intelligent and in talking with Jill, I realized I know nothing about how my body works. But I now feel more in control of my health.

A doctor is so quick with blood testing and “go with it.” But the panels in the Intensive were definitely more comprehensive.

Jill’s knowledge is truly incredible. It’s truly deep, not just vast. I was definitely heard and taken seriously and I recommend this Intensive to any moms who think the culture of tired is the norm.

Oh my goodness, Jill. I simply cannot thank you enough for all of this. The Intensive was incredible. I am grateful beyond measure for your time, curiosity, expertise, and input. I’ve been so on edge about [my health] and you totally delivered peace of mind that, although there are things to bring back into balance, I’m nowhere near the predicament I thought I might be in. I am super excited to get started with all of this, and I so look forward to seeing how it unfolds. You are truly the best!
