Jeff Krueger, Registered Dietitian and professional certified guide, founded Healthybeing to empower all people to feel great, feel happy, feel less stress by providing accurate advice on nutrition and health.
"The marketplace is just saturated with competing ideas on how to get healthy, stay healthy-- here at healthybeing we are looking to simplify the confusion and show people the easy steps they can take to start on their journey to increased energy, looking better, feeling better, being happier and more in control.This is where you learn to not sweat the small stuff and keep things in perspective."
Jeff has a variety of nutrition experience in both hemispheres and on three continents.After roaming the wilds of British Columbia and the Yukon as a tree-planter and commercial fisherman, Jeff entered and completed a B.Sc. in Nutrition at the University of British Columbia.He then finished his Dietetic Internship in Ottawa, based out of the Ottawa Civic Hospital.
"Being in the nation's capital was an ideal learning experience.It was the ,beginning' of transforming university academia into practical reality.Not only did I learn the clinical and out patient applications in my rotations through programs like the Heart Institute and the diabetes program, I received a first-hand look at the wealth of community and federal initiatives I was introduced to both in Ottawa and through my electives in other parts of the country.I think it's unusual to have those opportunities to be invited into the world of federal policy, positions and decisions around food and nutrition."
Jeff is an accredited member in good standing of both the College of Dietitians of British Columbia and the Dietitians of Canada.These are recognized affiliates of the American Dietetic Association.
He started his professional career in the hospitals of Castlegar, Nelson, Kaslo, and New Denver, located in the West Kootenay area of British Columbia.

Jeff left public health in 2002 to consult in his private practice part-time and continue guiding sea kayak, biking, mountaineering, and hiking trips for a variety of adventure companies all over the world."It was the only way I could finish building my own house, fix my '75 dodge van, publish my whitewater guidebook, and still play.My parents and sisters insist on taking trips with me just so they can enjoy my cooking."
Jeff has invited Janice Polloway onto the healthybeing team.
