In 2016 I was diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis. After years of pain, it was good to finally have an answer to what was happening in my body. I was introduced to the Auto Immune Protocol by a friend and I immediately started eliminating problematic foods from my diet. In a week, there was a marked difference. By month 6, I was back to my active self I’d been in high school. My pain levels have been reduced by 85%; I am glad to share what I’ve learned in this journey with you.

Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, Personal Trainer
Hi, I'm Jaci Salley, a Holistic Nutritionist and Personal Trainer dedicated to helping you achieve balance through whole, natural foods and exercise. My journey in holistic nutrition and wellness coaching has fueled my passion for empowering others to take charge of their health.
I believe in a holistic approach to well-being, blending proper nutrition with exercise to foster a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

I have studied health from IIN is a health coaching school and now I am learning about gut health and how it helps our bodies do lot of things. Why its so important that we clean our gut out and get it back to a healthier state.
I work with women who want to lose weight through detoxing, balancing hormones, improving GI systems – all by and switching to whole-foods, proper supplementation, and daily habit changes.
I will be working DIRECTLY with YOU, one-to-one, in our sessions, emphasizing that everything you’re experiencing is synergistically connected in an individual package that is entirely UNIQUELY YOU. This concept is often referred to as your ‘biochemical individuality,’ and the word ‘HOLISTIC’ (holism) emerged from this concept. You’re not just your weight, your thyroid problem, or your digestive complications as insinuated by conventional medicine. No, your WHOLE body is symbiotically connected – what happens in one area of your body WILL ultimately affect everything else. Thus, through the practice of Nutritional Therapy, I will encourage you to revisit the WHOLE, beautifully painted picture that is YOU. Namely, I’m going to empower YOU with the tools needed to understand and become ‘in tune’ to your own body using clean, whole foods, healthy exercise, and a balanced lifestyle so that you too can RISE and THRIVE, daily.

Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Ojibwe (Chippewa) Native American tribes inhabited the Des Plaines River Valley before the Europeans' arrival. When French explorers and missionaries arrived in the 1600s in what was then the Illinois Country of New France, they named the waterway La Rivière des Plaines (English translation: "Plains River") as they felt that trees on the river resembled European plane trees. The first white settlers came from the eastern United States in 1833, after the 1833 Treaty of Chicago was negotiated, followed by many German immigrants during the 1840s and '50s. In the 1850s, the land in this area was purchased by the Illinois and Wisconsin Land Company along a railroad line planned between Chicago and Janesville, Wisconsin. In 1852, the developers built a steam-powered mill next to the river to cut local trees into railroad ties. Socrates Rand then bought the mill and converted it into a grist mill, which attracted local farmers. The Illinois and Wisconsin Railroad made its first stop in the area in the fall of 1854.
Des Plaines was reincorporated in 1873 and elected a village board the following year. Local brick manufacturer Franklin Whitcomb served as the first Village President. In 1925, village residents voted to convert to a city form of government and annexed the village of Riverview to the south. Subsequent annexations included the Orchard Place area in 1956. The city experienced rapid growth after World War II and with the opening of nearby O'Hare International Airport. In 1955, Des Plaines became the site of the first McDonald's franchise, which was torn down in 1984 and replaced by a museum the following year. The museum was demolished in 2018 after repeated flooding.
According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Des Plaines has a total area of 14.38 square miles (37.24 km2), of which 14.24 square miles (36.88 km2) (or 98.98%) is land and 0.15 square miles (0.39 km2) (or 1.02%) is water. Des Plaines is traversed by two interstate highways – I-90 (the Northwest Tollway) and I-294 (the Tri-State Tollway).
Des Plaines is named for the Des Plaines River, which flows through it. The name is from 18th-century French referencing the American sycamore which resembles the European plane tree. Portions of Des Plaines are underlain by the "Des Plaines Disturbance," an area in which the layers of sedimentary rock are highly abnormal. This probably represents an ancient meteorite crater, 75 to 200 feet (23 to 61 m) beneath the town. The bedrock was highly fractured by the impact, with large blocks of sediment upended. The crater was eventually filled by glacial activity so that no trace now remains on the surface.
Addresses in the city limits of Des Plaines have their numbering system. Areas in unincorporated Maine Township have Des Plaines postal addresses that follow the Chicago numbering system. Devon Avenue in Des Plaines is 3200 South, while it is 6400 North in Chicago. Golf Road runs through a large unincorporated area as 9600 North with a Des Plaines mailing address but is 0 North/South when entering the Des Plaines city limits. As sections become incorporated, they take on the city numbering system. For instance, in 2003, land at 9661 West Golf Road, Des Plaines, became 2323 East Golf Road, Des Plaines, when it was formally incorporated into the city limits. The largest unincorporated areas are in the O'Hare area and east of the Tri-State Tollway.
