“…about half of all American adults—117 million individuals—have one or more preventable, chronic diseases, and about two-thirds of U.S. adults—nearly 155 million individuals—are overweight or obese.” from health.gov
OUR STORY: Heather and Jack Waldenmaier
My husband, Jack, and I watched the movie “Fed Up.” The information was so alarming and convincing that we made a decision to improve our health habits for a lifetime.
IT’S NOT WORKING: Most of us have known that the average lifestyle in our country is unhealthy yet, even though we make pretty good choices according to the best knowledge about diet, nutrition and exercise, it’s not successful. And, Jack and I were overweight.
BEST SOURCES: There are some professional researchers now freely available online who have established the missing pieces for people like Jack and me who genuinely want to live with a fit and fun daily life. This means no stringent fad diets and no recommendations based on a self-serving agenda. We want to know how to establish lifelong good habits. And, Jack has been curating the best and the bottom line. It is our pleasure to share our conclusions with anyone. What we have learned and have changed is already showing improvements for us. And, of course, we are open to improvements.
SUMMARY: Jack can share sources which detail the healthy and the unhealthy metabolic, chemical, hormonal, cellular and bodily behaviors. For the purposes of sharing, this little summary hits the high points. As a woman who is happy in her kitchen, I just want the practical knowledge. I want to shop for the good stuff and provide food we really like.

Spring 2015 Curated by Jack Waldenmaier
2015 is the year Jack and I will remember as when we became curators of how to get healthy.*
FED UP – Can Make it a Happy New Year
It all started when we watched the movie Fed Up a year ago. The information changed us permanently…for the better.
STOPPED SUGAR: We stopped sugar almost completely.
RESEARCH: Jack, as his friends all know, goes on “kicks.” He focuses-in on something he wants to learn about in depth. Years ago it was chess; then it was tennis; when I met him, it became Argentine Tango. Now, it’s nutrition and health. He has gone very few days over the year without studying the newest researchers on health worldwide. He has narrowed it down to twenty. Their messages are congruent. We have tried the new Low Carb High Fat way of eating. It works.
THE NEW NUTRITION: Buying groceries and cooking this way has worked so well for us that, now, some of our friends are trying it and getting wonderful results, too. So, I created these documents to share the best of the best. And, we do understand that this isn’t for everybody. There are lots of body types.
FOUR MODULES:
1. NUTRITION MAGAZINE: We created a little magazine to offer the basic concepts, 11 pages: Low Carb High Fat Nutrition, Myths, Sugar: Health Risk, Healthy Fats, Cereal Killers, Metabolic Syndrome, Inflammation, New LCHF Pyramid, Micro-Nutrients, Groceries, References, Our Story.
