As a wife, mama, athlete and entrepreneur, Jillian can appreciate the relationship between the balancing act we call life and the stress management that often takes a back seat to our everyday needs. 

 

Being mindful, focusing on self-care and unplugging are terms we are becoming more familiar with as these uncertain times continue. One major benefit identified in the literature regarding mindfulness is its benefit to our immune function and how our bodies react to inflammation. Inflammation is necessary for health, a robust and appropriate immune response. Yet most people live in a state of sub-health with low-grade inflammation due to poor eating habits, poor sleep, or chronic stress. This environment of inflammation means the body and the brain suffer many small, persistent inflammatory insults. It was only recently that medical research revealed these circulating inflammatory signals could cross the blood-brain barrier. 

 

Today we understand that chronic stress over time can limit the selective nature of this essential barrier and lead to poor cognitive health and metal emotional distress. There are areas of the brain that appear to physically change in response to inflammation. 

 

“How am I supposed to take a self-care break when I myself am the caregiver?” 

 

As a health coach and nutritional consultant, Jillian supports those to create the habits to make a lifestyle change; to embrace one's personal wellness; and to find health in every body, in particular, health at a cellular level.
