Jillian Harrell, MS, RD, LDN: Registered Dietitian in Charlotte, NC

Jillian Harrell, MS, RD, LDN, is the Registered Dietitian at Aspire Trim Clinic in Charlotte, NC, and an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, serving clients across Matthews, Mint Hill and Huntersville. Her expertise spans nutrition, exercise and evidence-based lifestyle strategies, and she is the person who turns a program plan into food you can actually shop for and training you can actually do in the week you actually have.

Jillian earned her Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and her Master's degree in Human Nutrition from Winthrop University. She is a Registered Dietitian credentialed through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, licensed in North Carolina (LDN), and a Certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine. Her professional experience includes clinical dietitian services for ICF-MR group homes, outpatient nutrition counseling across a wide range of health conditions, and training in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation settings. Her areas of expertise cover exercise and nutrition, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal disease and sports nutrition.

Jillian is passionate about helping people improve their health through balanced nutrition, physical activity and practical, sustainable habits. In practice that means she does not hand out rigid seven day menus, because rigid menus fail the moment real life intervenes. She builds protein targets, meal frameworks and options around foods you already eat and can buy at the store you already go to. Her exercise physiology background matters more than clients expect: protecting lean mass during weight loss is what decides whether you finish smaller and strong or smaller and depleted, so protein targets and resistance training are non-negotiable parts of the plans she builds, tracked on Styku body composition scans rather than assumed.

Inside our weight loss coaching packages, Jillian builds the meal planning in Trim & Tone and provides the direct dietitian access in Elite, where you can bring her your questions between check-ins. She also works with clients on the weight loss program in Charlotte, NC and debriefs genetic and metabolic testing results into food you will actually eat. Aspire coaches, measures and tracks your nutrition plan. Where a lab result or a prescription question comes up, it is handled by Impact Health Network licensed physicians through a telehealth visit we arrange, and Jillian builds the plan around their guidance.
