When we feel stuck in life, what we often need most is to move in a different direction. But transition itself can often feel challenging. To openly be able to change course is something that needs to be practiced. In our Season 1 Finale, I welcome Jillian Smith for a conversation that I’m sure will leave you feeling a little more capable to take on the hard stuff in your own life. Jillian speaks to how she overcame the challenges of being a young professional amid a pandemic, the bold but necessary risks that showed up while she was growing through the hard stuff, the mind/gut correlation as it pertains to gut health, and so much more. When she felt stagnant, the smallest actions mattered most and she's here to remind you to that even the hard stuff is only temporary!
About Jillian Smith:
Jillian Smith is a gut health dietitian with a special focus in functional medicine to uncover the root cause of every client's gut issues and get rid of unwanted symptoms for good. For Jillian, understanding digestive struggles is her thing because she's been there. For years she bounced through doctor appointments, completing lab work and other tests, just to be told that everything looked "normal".
Her mission is to instil within every client that gut symptoms are valid and 100% not normal. Jillian helps clients heal their gut and experience life symptom-free through the RIGHT testing, proper nutrition, personalised lifestyle, and supplement interventions.
