Live Better Longer
Welcome to Jan Tilley & Associates (JTA) and our newly designed website. “Appetite for life” aptly describes the culture at JTA. We believe life is meant to be an exciting journey of personal growth. By nourishing your body with healthy foods, making a commitment to fitness and feeding your spirit, you are traveling down the path toward becoming the very best you can be.
Each day, we turn to experts on TV, in newspaper and magazine articles, or online, to guide us on how to live healthier, stronger lives. My hope is that you will use this website as your reliable resource for sound nutrition and fitness information. Whether you are looking for personal direction and motivation to make lifestyle changes or simply want to find a firm to partner with your company to lead the charge toward corporate wellness, we want to help. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
As we all know, America is battling an obesity epidemic. The Center for Disease Control reports the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled in the United States in the past 25 years. These increasing obesity rates are alarming because of their potential impact on our health. Being overweight increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, coronary heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and some cancers.
On the site, you will find everything from a wide selection of healthy, quick-to-fix recipes to current articles and information in the news we find to be worth repeating. There is an “Ask Jan” tab where you can contact me with your nutrition questions. I will answer them and post them on the site. We have also included several tabs, such as Patient Care, Corporate Wellness, Nutrition Marketing, and Government Contracting to further explain our areas of specialty at JTA.
Jan Tilley, MS RD LD, is an author and frequent speaker to conferences and seminars. Her new book, Getting Your Second Wind, will be out this summer and will be available for purchase on this site as well as in bookstores. If you are interested in booking Jan to speak at your next event, click on Book Jan in the site index for details.
Thank you for visiting My Appetite for Life. I look forward to frequent visits from you. Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
