Jill's been on a two-decade mission
to empower people to grab control of
their health. She does more than teach.
When working with individuals and
groups, Jill acts as their coach,
cheerleader and strategist.

As a speaker and a writer, she's infor-
mative and entertaining while offering
practical advice to eat better, feel
better and live better. She inspires
audiences and readers to take action
and get results. Jill is contributing
editor for Environmental Nutrition and
has written for many publications
including EatingWell magazine,
Diabetic Living magazine, Her Sports
+ Fitness magazine and LifeScript.

Uniquely combining her food, nutrition and health expertise with her public
relations and communications skills, Jill has worked with industry clients such as
Boar's Head Provisions, Wheat Foods Council, Alliance for Potato Research and
Education and Northrop Grumman. She is an internationally recognized nutrition
and diabetes expert and is frequently quoted in print and broadcast media.

Jill makes nutrition science understandable, realistic and oh so delicious.
Be sure to check out her new book Diabetes Weight Loss Week by Week (American
Diabetes Association 2012) due to be released in July.

Jill didn't start out promoting good food and good health, but she
did begin her professional life in promotion. After earning a degree
in advertising from the University of Florida, she worked in marketing
and public relations at the Kennedy Space Center and for a financial
institution. It wasn't long before her love of food and all things
nutrition pulled her back to the University of Florida where she
earned a master's degree in food science and human nutrition.

If Jill's not counseling patients, tethered to her computer or other-
wise working, you might find her in the kitchen cooking up something
nutritious and delicious. (Yep, nutritious and delicious really do go
together.) Other times she's out jogging, keeping up with teenage
daughters, letting two dogs in and out, (and in and out again and
again) or simply trying to sneak some quiet time with her husband.
