Jill Swyers has worked in the catering industry, managed restaurants and was professionally involved in food and beverage for the hotel industry for over 40 years. She has worked in Greece, South Africa, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland and France. Jill also had her own London based catering company, "Hungry Hampers", providing typical cuisine for corporate events, weddings and formal picnics such as Ascot, Glyndebourne and Henley.
For several years, Jill suffered a low energy level and she felt debilitated. She was diagnosed as suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalga, Hypoglycaemia, Candida and Reynauds disease. She believed her condition could be directly linked to her diet, which is when she started looking seriously at the impact of diet on health. To lose weight, she tried food combining and lost 20Kg (44lb) over a period of six months. Reading about Aloe Vera juice and its energising properties, she started to drink the juice and noticed an increase in vitality. To increase her chlorophyll and oxygen uptake, she included wheatgrass in her regime.
Having treated herself through a combination of diet, exercise and alternative therapies, she began to study nutrition, with particular emphasis on the science of living and organic foods.
Jill is now a qualified Hippocrates Health Educator and Hippocrates Ambassador and devotes her time to teaching and demonstrating the preparation of living foods as a way to achieve optimum health.
