Since my work with Jill, I do not feel bloated and I sleep soundly, have energy throughout the day, and my mood is steady and positive. I have had a regular menstrual cycle, have had zero eczema flare-ups in four months, have not needed to take any allergy medication in three months, and have experienced heartburn only once in four months. Thank you, Jill, for helping me uncover the ‘”me” I knew was in there! I’m not turning back!
