Meet Gillean Barkyoumb of Millennial Nutrition
each Friday, I take a moment for gratitude
Fridays are special because I get to introduce some of my favorite people to you. I am very lucky to have inspiring, authentic, and talented professionals in my network. But what’s most important to me in relationships is that I can connect with the human underneath the accomplishments.
The woman I’m introducing to you today is a woman who truly does it all: she’s a wife, mom, business owner, dietitian, educator, brand ambassador, actively gives back to her community, and has a huge heart.
Through her business, Millennial Nutrition, she provides education and tools to take the stress out of eating. She is skilled in making healthy eating simple and convenient.

What lights you up inside?
Oh so many things! I love when the millennial women I work with realize that eating healthy can be simple and convenient--I have all the hacks and tricks to make nutrition doable!
I also love connecting and supporting other female entrepreneurs, spending quality time with friends and having meaningful conversations, and of course seeing my two babies grow into strong, confident, and compassionate young girls.

What else do you want to share with our community?
I think the greatest thing I do is make nutrition doable.
Whether I am on camera for a TV segment, sharing a social post, or working with those in my 21-Day Diet Reset group, I take the hype and overwhelm out of it. I go back to basics.
Then, I provide tools and encouragement to integrate those basic habits in their lives so they can go on autopilot, they can take nutrition off their to-do list. Now they can focus on other important areas in their lives. Because when you find greatness in one area of life, it bleeds into other areas.
I’m so grateful to Gillean for taking the time to complete this interview today.
