Jill Brem: The Lyme Life (E18)

Connected: A Podcast With Jess

Runner, Triathlete, Mom, Friend, Sister, Daughter….these were roles Jill found easy until Lyme Disease forced her focus to simply catching her breath. Her story is raw and powerful as she shares with me (and you) the pummeling effects of a life turned upside down by a chronic and painful illness. But my courageous friend is finding REVIVAL in her journey as she creates her own beautiful space in this world. You will be challenged, inspired, and incredibly grateful as you let her story permeate your soul. Maybe you will connect with her story because you, too, journey a “chronic” life, or maybe you connect because you want learn how to come alongside someone who battles like Jill. Either way, Jill will change you!

Jill is a Missouri native. She moved to the Seattle, WA area at the age of twenty to attend a natural health school and pursue her studies in holistic nutrition. At Bastyr University she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, simultaneously completing her massage training in downtown Seattle at Brenneke School of Massage. Taking off the next ten years to raise a family, Jill utilized her knowledge in nutrition to provide wholesome meals for her children. She has grown her knowledge in nutrition throughout the years specializing in unique dietary needs. Her life now revolves around healing from chronic Lyme disease that has plagued her for the past five years, but her initial onset was at age sixteen. Struggling to maintain a job outside of the home Jill recently started a blog lymerevival.com to help others struggling with Lyme disease. Here she hopes people will find useful information on Lyme disease, natural treatments for Lyme, holistic nutrition to support specialized dietary needs, as well as community.
