About Jill Garrison
Hello, I'm Jill!
As a mother of three—8-year-old twins and a 1-year-old—I deeply understand the challenges of balancing nutrition with family life. Since 2008, I have dedicated myself to guiding families through the intricacies of nutrition and eating, while effectively managing health concerns. With a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Alberta and registration with the College of Dietitians of Alberta, I bring a wealth of expertise to my work.
My approach is built on empathy and a commitment to creating personalized plans that are both effective and realistic for you and your family's unique needs. I've been in the trenches myself, juggling management of digestive concerns, mealtime negotiations and creative cooking strategies!
I specialize in pediatric:
- Digestive issues like IBS, celiac, IBD, EoE, reflux, constipation and diarrhea
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Food allergies & intolerances
- Cow’s milk protein allergies, FPIAP, FPIES
- Infant nutrition & starting solids
- Picky eating
- Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Fuelling for sport
- Vegetarian diets
- And more!
And for adults I specialize in:
- IBS
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Microscopic Colitis
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Bile Acid Diarrhea
- Gastroparesis
- SIBO
- EoE
