Jem Welsh, CNS, CPT

Jem Welsh, CNS, CPT is a performance nutritionist in Newport Beach, California. Known as “The Shredder” in performance nutrition circles and “The Professor” in fitness circles, Jem designs custom “total body” programs for an upscale clientele including professional clients in the athletic, performance, film and modeling industries. The practice is primarily by referral from agencies or area physicians in the anti-aging/aesthetic medical groups.

He has also served the nutrition and pharmaceutical industries for over 15 years as a conceptual product formulator and research specialist. Jem has produced over 200 nutritional supplements and functional food formulations and food-based delivery systems, including FitGum™, the first functional fat-burning chewing gum and ProPax™, a cellular support formula for use in chemotherapy. Jem is credited with formulating the first non-stimulating cellular fuel formula and original research/formulation for complementary breast cancer formulas for recovery.

More recently, Jem has introduced his own products, CLENZ™, REVZ™ and CUTZ™ -a trio of functional beverage powders for whole body performance food plans. His ability to create innovative products, formulate them and defend their functionality has allowed companies such as Robinson Pharma, Nutritional Therapeutics, BioDelivery™ Food Systems, Childcare Nutritionals™ and Medi-Plex Physician’s Nutrition Network™, as well as contract manufacturing companies, to outsource his intellectual property and regulatory knowledge to translate concepts into millions of dollars in sales.

Jem is also the Nutritional Director/Examiner for the Professional Private Trainers Association, and serves as a member of the Board of Nutritional Examiners. He has been accredited as a CE and CME educator, from the USC School of Pharmacy and UCLA School of Medicine, University of Wisconsin and University of Pennsylvania, instructing over 3000 pharmacists and physicians on topics in natural healing and nutritional applications in medicinal protocol. Jem is published in trade and consumer magazines ranging from “Oncology Care” to “Spa”. He is a regular guest on radio health shows in Los Angeles and New York City and is a tireless advocate for nutritional approaches to complementary medicine. His soon to be published book, entitled Why This Diet Book Won’t Work for You focuses on the subject of personalize health programs and cultural nutrition, two aspects of his specialized clinical counseling practice.

He is a pioneer in the area of complementary health and a long-standing advocate of physical fitness. You might find him in the weight room or at the beach; at a restaurant or in your own kitchen. There simply is not a way to keep tabs on that type of energy and passion – watch for him everywhere there is health to be discussed, food to be eaten or fitness programs to be learned. Jem is quick to talk about his latest oil blend for muscle rehab or his latest beverage concoction to enhance a meal or cocktail – he’s truly one of the Pied Pipers of health today.
