Training, Perspective, and Approach
Hi, I’m Shane Brill.
I help people reconnect with their bodies and build lasting wellness — using food, insight, and education as powerful tools for change.
My approach blends ancestral nutrition, functional lab testing, and nature-based principles to help you understand your symptoms, nourish your body, and create sustainable, meaningful shifts in your health.
Whether you're navigating digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, or a diagnosis that doesn't tell the full story — you're not alone. Healing is possible. And it starts with learning to listen to what your body is trying to say.
Through the Chestertown Wellness Collective, I collaborate with local holistic practitioners to support community wellbeing through education, events, and integrated care.
my Story
Like many of my clients, I came to nutritional therapy out of necessity.
For years, I struggled with a form of anemia that didn’t respond to conventional treatments. Eventually, I started looking deeper. That search led me to ancestral nutrition, functional testing, and eventually, full resolution of my symptoms.
But more importantly, it gave me the tools to help others do the same.
Through one-on-one work and community education, I now help people across all stages of life rediscover their energy, rebuild resilience, and reclaim their health — with clarity and confidence.
My Approach
I combine formal training from the Nutritional Therapy Association and the Institute of Restorative Health with a deep respect for ancestral wisdom, scientific insight, and ecological connection.
Each client I work with receives highly personalized support that reflects:
Root-cause exploration using clinical tools
Whole-body nutrition that aligns with your physiology
Realistic lifestyle shifts that match your capacity
Ongoing education so you can confidently advocate for yourself
I’m also a certified instructor of the RESTART® program, and regularly lead community-based workshops on nutrition, foraging, and reconnecting with the land.
Beyond Nutrition
I live on a small urban homestead in Chestertown, Maryland — a food forest cultivated with fruit trees, berry bushes, and medicinal herbs. It’s a living classroom where I explore seasonal eating, soil health, and the healing power of plants.
My work is shaped by permaculture principles, ancestral knowledge, and a belief that true healing is possible when we realign with the natural systems we come from.

Eating the foods that truly nourish us doesn’t just restore our health — it restores the land that makes that nourishment possible.
Through studying the links between environment and health, I’ve learned to source, grow, and create meals that truly nourish — made from scratch and from the soil up.
