Jem Welsh gave me my life back. I had my first meeting with him on March 16, 2009. I will never forget that day because it was a huge turning point in my life. I was/am 40 years old. I had always been athletic and in good shape. However, I suffered from a severe eating disorder most of my life which was extreme enough for my parents to send me to inpatient treatment facilities numerous times in my life. I had been divorced for 2 years and now a single mom of a 5 year old little boy. Slowly over the course of 1 year, I noticed myself becoming extremely fatigued, unmotivated, lazy and unhappy. I was consumed by these feelings and went to every kind of doctor you can imagine. Psychiatrist, psychologist, OBGYN, Internal medicine, Holistic Medicine, and acupuncture. What happened is that I was taken off and on 5 different medications for depression, bipolar disorder, PMDD. None of which I had! Through that process , I gained 12 pounds and was miserable, tired, and had given up. I was also getting body wraps weekly to try to detoxify and feel better. One day, the woman who was wrapping me told be about JEM. Jem spoke to me with love and honesty. He urged not to look in the rear view mirror because this is a new beginning. He assured me that he can help me loose the excess weight and get my energy back. I left there with hope. Within a day, he sent me my meal plan which was tailored for ME. Along with the most valuable information about food, our bodies and how they are directly affected by what we put in them. I also had access to him whenever I had a question. Within 4 days, I started to feel some life come back to my body and mind. He then sent me my fitness plan, also tailored to me….and I was off and running! Today is July 15, 2009 and I have never looked back. I now know I have the tools and the knowledge to stay healthy both mentally and physically. I feel fit and happy. My body image issues have been improved dramatically. Truly, Jem saved my life. The only way I know how repay him is not only to tell him, but share with others my experience. In the state of mind I was in when I met Jem, If I can do it ….I know you can too.

(One Year Later:) You know, when I said meeting you was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life….it was true! For the first time in my life, I finally feel validated and in control of my body and mind. Without your validation, love, and guidance, I would still be that sick little girl. That is why I always tell you I love you…because I mean it with all my heart

I also hear from our campers, “I am eating very well and I still can’t lose weight!” Well…all I can say is Jem to the RESCUE! I have turned these people over to Nutritionist, Jem Welsh. I actually call him a food genius! He has taken the most challenging situations and helped them over come and conquer them!

Just this week I heard great news from one of my campers that has been trying, like mad, to get under her stubborn scale number of 150. Within a few days after meeting with Jem she dropped down to 146 lbs! He has worked with several celebrities and models helping them look red-carpet and picture perfect. I am so honored to be working with him and have him be our go-to for all our nutrition guidance.

In the first 11 days I shed 2% body fat, the bloating was gone and the mid day slump was a thing of the past! That’s a testament to clean whole food eating, proper amounts and a timed schedule coupled with the right targeting exercises.

My hectic and on-the-move work schedule reflected in my eating, soreness and body changes. Teaching three Boot Camp classes back to back, owning Si-Boards, LLC developing fitness products with testing and providing athletic training covering for sport teams didn’t allow much time for nutrition and recovery. Time for me to call on an expert!

With Jem’s keen eye for proportions (down to the millimeter) and the knowledge to get quick results, I feel fantastic- my eyes aren’t dry, my skin glows and I’m energized though the day. My body is taking on a defined and lifted look in proper proportion. Since I’m no longer a competitive athlete it’s time to change my body to overall fitness, flexibility and function for lifetime health. Jem is ensuring I change in the right direction.

No cookie cutter program here- his plan is very specialized and takes my schedule, goals, dietary issues and current health into top priority. His plans are easy to follow with delicious recipes and ideas. Additionally, Jem is very well rounded with holistic and natural remedies for your intestinal health and lymphatic system to move the toxins out.

Every time Jem and I have a conversation or I listen to his presentations I learn something new. “Encyclopedia Jem’s” vast knowledge about current research, trends and cultural history of foods is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy my meetings with him. We talk as health care professionals, exercise enthusiasts/fanatics and as a client needing the guidance of an expert. I take comfort in knowing he is well educated and understands the biochemistry between my body, foods and supplements.

As a Certified Athletic Trainer specializing in sports medicine, one of my favorite jobs is with the United States Soccer Federation. I’m traveling to Argentina with a national youth team and Jem whipped up an Argentine eating guide for my trip- that’s passion and excitement for his clients!

When looking for a nutritionist to best suit you, make sure they are passionate about their profession and have a vested interest to help you. Jem has proven he is the right guy!

Dear Jem,

I congratulate you on your new partnership and wish you much success in your new venture.

I have been following the custom plan you designed for me and really feel so energetic and healthy. It is so simple to follow. I know that my immune system has increased tremendously as I have not had a cold or bronchial asthma since I started your program. (Thanks to all those blueberry shakes !!)

Another plus is that I not longer have any arthritis pains in my knees or back. Gone completely!! The product you recommended made a tremendous difference in two weeks, and yes…..I am remembering to drink my five bottles of water a day.

I am still taking the supplements you recommended. I was amazed with the results from the special calcium product you gave me. For the first time in my life I have nails !! I know from the outward results it is working and can’t wait for my bone scan next May to see how much improvement there is inside. A great product!!

I appreciate all that you have done for me Jem.

Sincere thanks,
