After working as a journalist and political speechwriter for many years,  I was able to pursue another of my passions when I was offered the opportunity to write a cookbook. That was the first of more than a dozen cookbooks and it marked the beginning of my serious interest in the health benefits of consuming nutritious whole foods.  Several years ago, this interest took me in an entirely new direction when I discovered the work of epidemiologist David Barker. You Are What Your Grandparents Ate is based on 40 years of research into the field of science spawned by his research, which is known as the developmental origins of health and disease.  Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of studies are now showing that many of the risks for chronic diseases — including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even dementia — can be traced back to your first 1,000 days of existence, from the moment you were conceived and perhaps even beyond to the experiences of your parents and grandparents.

Yes, you may be more susceptible to certain chronic illnesses due to your ancestors’ experiences. The good news is you can change this story. Emerging research in the field of epigenetics is showing that taking even small steps, like getting more exercise and eating more nutritious food, can help to reverse  inherited vulnerabilities by changing how your genes express themselves.  The end result is better health, not only for yourself but also for your offspring and their children, and likely for generations to come.

Jackie Freitag’s fight against herself began in her childhood. After the difficult circumstances in her parental home got out of hand, Jackie found solace in food and sport from the age of 10. A long ordeal followed, during which she suffered from eating disorders for a total of 13 years, including bulimia, binge eating, and even anorexia. In 2014, she found her footing in the fitness scene. Jackie set up her own business as a certified fitness trainer (A license) and certified nutritionist (A license). However, then came the great awakening and her first leap of consciousness, which made her rethink her entire life. Because what is often concealed in the fitness scene are the problems and downsides behind all the admiration! There are constant ups and downs: metabolic problems, binge eating, weight gain, psychologic pressure, mood swings, and the resulting eating disorders. But nobody wants to talk about these things or come out of the closet. After her “awakening,” Jackie dedicated herself to her years-long battle against herself to find out what was really behind it, what the causes were, and where this relentless craving for recognition and admiration from the “outside” actually originated. The beginning of a long, deep, and instructive inner healing journey began. After years of self-analysis and emotional self-care, she analyzed her behavior, changed her habits, worked through her traumas, continued her education (including psychotherapy, trauma processing, inner child work, neuroplasticity, brain functions, personality development, and spirituality), trained as a yoga teacher, and healed her soul and body from the inside out. Since the end of 2019, as a former sufferer, she has been helping people to end the struggle with themselves, their bodies, and food. Today, Jackie Freitag is a speaker at events, an author, and a missionary with a big vision: She wants to bring people back to their full power, enable them to rediscover their inner glow, and promote their full potential. Together with her team, consisting of former sufferers, coaches, nutritionists, psychologists, and doctors, she has already been able to accompany over 1500 people in recent years on their journey toward a new lease on life.

Jean Claude Guimberteau ist ein französischer Handchirurg, der bei seinen Operationen entdeckte, dass die Sehnenscheiden nicht der klassischen Anatomie entsprechen. Auf der Suche nachdem wirklichen Funktionieren, entdecke er das MCDAS. Das Multimicrovacuolar Collagen Dynamic Absorption System – deshalb nennen wir es lieber MCDAS – bildet die Anatomie zwischen der Anatomie. Es besteht zu 70% aus Kollagen Typ I, Typ III und IV, 20% aus Elastin und 4% aus Lipiden. Es hat eine Struktur wie Seifenblasen, die sich ständig auf- und wieder abbauen.
