Born and raised in a small town in Ohio, Jillian grew up in a community where heart health issues were all too common. She witnessed her father struggle with high cholesterol and hypertension, leading to a heart attack that forever changed her family's life. Determined to make a difference, Jillian immersed herself in learning about heart health, not through formal education, but through real-life experiences and relentless self-education. Her kitchen became a laboratory where she experimented with countless recipes, transforming traditional dishes into heart-healthy meals without sacrificing flavor. Jillian’s journey wasn’t easy.

To her delight, it was a hit, even among the picky eaters. This small victory reinforced her belief that healthy eating doesn’t have to be bland or complicated. Jillian’s approach is all about balance and practicality. She believes in small, sustainable changes that collectively make a big impact.
