Owner of the nutrition private practice, The Root Cause Method, she guides clients towards health and vitality in unconventional ways. Jillian believes many of the chronic illnesses exacerbated by obesity are deeply rooted in trauma. In her practice, she collaborates with physicians who administer psychedelic medicine, using these powerful tools as a means to help her clients transform their relationship with food, feelings, and Self. Uprooting what shapes our relationship with food is essential, in her experience, for reversing and preventing chronic illness, and can lead to true embodiment, fulfillment, and deeper connection.

0:11.8	dealing with and maybe ending relationships that you know shouldn't be a part of your life
0:17.8	or all things dealing with food. I think you're going to really,
