FORUM INTRODUCTION
"
We are who we are and what we are today because of
the choices we’ve made over time.”
While this
quote applies to just about every facet of our lives, it came from Dr. Bruce
Miller of Dallas, Texas, during a seminar on the role that nutrition plays in
our daily lives and overall wellness. “…Choices we’ve made…”
places the burden and responsibility for wellness totally on us…not our doctors,
not our friends, not society, not the government, but us! That’s quite a
responsibility. Are you up to the task? Do you have the tools available to
accept this responsibility? Are you willing to make the changes necessary to
enjoy optimum wellness? Do you understand the relationship of the foods you eat
to your overall wellness? While this may seem like an overwhelming challenge,
you now have a new resource available to help you sift through the volumes of
data and information concerning your wellness – The Health Awareness Forum.
Hi, my name is Chuck Jumpeter and I am
excited about the opportunity to contribute to this forum and provide you with
the information to not only help you answer those questions, but also to make
quality choices concerning your health and wellness.
Starting in January of 2006 I’ll be
publishing articles covering all aspects of Nutrition and Wellness. We’ll start
with a few articles that will create a basic understanding of the Nature of
Nutrition, then progress through articles that will address many of the more
common health complaints and challenges that we face on a daily basis. I’ll be
providing tips and techniques to help you understand and incorporate all this
data into your daily lives. There will be opportunities for you to submit
questions and suggest topics. I’ll use the Forum to address as many of
your concerns as possible and will be available for personal consultations by
request.
As time goes on, I’ll work hard to
ensure that the Forum is addressing your needs and helping you meet your
wellness goals. Your feedback will be an essential part of this process and I
hope that you will take the time to write and share your comments with me.
With that said, I wish you all a very
joyous, peaceful and healthy holiday season and a prosperous New Year. See you
in ’06.
Yours in Good Health,
Chuck Jumpeter

AUTHOR INTRODUCTION
Hi, my name is Charles P.
Jumpeter – Chuck, if you please – and I have been leaving footprints on this
planet since August 20th, 1945. I was born and raised in a small town
called McAdoo, located in the western edge of the Pocono Mountains in
Pennsylvania. My federal service began almost immediately after I left Penn
State in 1966. First it was a 3-year stint with Uncle Sam in the U.S. Army – I
went from Ft. Monmouth, NJ, to Permasens, Germany, to beautiful Vung Tau, South
Viet Nam before landing with the FAA in February of 1970 as a communications
technician at the NY ARTCC. My career with the FAA has been long, fruitful, and
quite diversified. From 1970 through 1987 I held a variety of technical
positions from Comm. Tech, to Central Computer Complex (CCC) Tech, to CCC
Technician-in-Depth, to CCC Crew Chief, to Proficiency Development Specialist
before landing in the Employee Involvement Process as a consultant in July of
1987. I am still with the FAA – although, retirement is very close at hand – and
working in my current capacity as a Cultural Change Consultant, a field I’ve
truly come to love. While troubleshooting and repairing complex electronic
systems was challenging and fun, helping people deal with their personal growth
and development, cope with the complexities of organizational change and
development, and improve their overall health and well being has become my
passion.
In 1980 I began a parallel
career in the health and wellness industry. This all started because I am an
avid golfer and a serious allergy sufferer. My allergies were so severe that I
could not spend more than an hour or so outdoors during the “growing season”
without being completely miserable. Runny nose, itchy, swelling eyes, constant
sneezing would send me scurrying for the nearest air conditioned room…there goes
the handicap! Over-the-counter drugs were not getting the job done, and the
doctors didn’t help. I was looking for alternative solutions when a friend of
mine introduced me to a Certified Nutritional Consultant. She recommended a
nutrition program and within weeks my allergy symptoms were fading. I have been
virtually allergy free for the past 25 years. I have been studying and working
with her and numerous other wellness professionals since that time. In 1999, I
founded the East End Health
Consortium (EEHC) in Riverhead, NY.
The vision and charter for this organization is:
“We
create knowledge, understanding, and a passion for, ‘A healthy mind, in a
healthy body, in a healthy environment’, in all the people we know and meet.”
Through
the EEHC and my own business, Jumpeter Enterprise, I have been lecturing in the
field of wellness and nutrition throughout Eastern Long Island, North Eastern
PA, and at the FAA’s headquarters in Jamaica, NY. I will not only continue, but
also expand this area of my business throughout retirement.
I am
looking forward to this opportunity to share some of my learning and insights
into the world of health and wellness with all of you in the months and years
ahead.
Yours in
Good Health,
Chuck Jumpeter
