I wrote about Wendell a couple of years ago. At the time, through a business introduction, he and I had become friends. We had both gone through some "life altering" experiences to say the least. And, we were incredibly aligned with our approach to nutrition, balance and overall wellness. Back then, I used to call Wendell my "organic fundamentalist" friend. More recently I saw him referred to as the "shock jock of nutrition". He is unique, wise and, (be forewarned) no holds barred...but incredibly entertaining at the same time.

Here is Wendell's story (taken from his website www.chefwendell.com)

In 1998, between bites of KFC, 300 pound Chef Wendell was informed he was dying, 'Get prepared.' After a healing miracle, Chef Wendell devoted his podium to nutritional literacy and revealing the shocking truths about reckless Big Food's toxic, ethically-malnourished food-processing methods.

He discovered what you eat becomes part of you; who you are. Good-bye dead food, booze, cigarettes and sloth; hello active lifestyle and the Universal Apothecary.

He went through it and got-down to it.

"Eating from the nutritionally bankrupt Western 'Industrial' Diet of dead food, I blunted my innate skills. Eating foods from the sun-drenched Universal Apothecary released my potential to bloom and grow."

After waltzing out of ICU, Fowler waved good-bye to his 'balanced diet' of Krispie Kremes, gravy, cheeseburgers, excessive cocktailing. He embarked upon a 20 year Hippocraterian mission to study and experience how addictive 'Big Food' products diminish mental clarity, immune response, energy & stamina plus priceless career skills.

His entertaining, often scandalous discoveries from behind the closed doors of the irresponsible food industry is illuminating, transcending and life saving.
