Janel Louise Ohletz, PhD

Throughout my life, I have explored various paths. Growing up on a small farm in rural New Hampshire deepened my connection to the land. I have worked as a model, wrangler, construction worker, and chef, ultimately finding my way to regenerative practices both for Mother Earth and for Personal Health. 

 

I hold a PhD in Soil Science from NCSU, a M.S. in Agricultural Science and a B.S. in Sustainable Agriculture from UNH, and a A.S. in Culinary Arts from Stratford University. As a classical-trained chef with over 20 years in hospitality, I enjoy engaging in discussions to improve food systems and often present at conferences for emerging farmers, emphasizing strong foundational practices.

 

So what does all this have to do with you, dear reader?

 

I have combined my love of cooking and food, with my knowledge of sustainable and regenerative agriculture and turned it toward creating a program to regenerate people's lives through food. It is called Mindful Meals Mastery. 

​

But I did not stop there. After the passing of my dad I needed to find a way to process my feelings. So I wrote a memoir, Between Farm and Fork: Tools to Find Your True Path" . In it, I share my life journey, highlighting trauma and triumphs that shaped me. It is a guidebook to find your way to success through the pages, as I bare my greatest missteps and failings, and how I built myself back up from falling and found my true calling.  If you want to know more about the book and how you can get a copy, join the waitlist in the link below. 

 

Mastering Mealtime 

What I have come to realize is that healthy food is within reach for everyone, but without the skills and knowledge, many are overwhelmed by the prospect of healthy eating as a core part of life. 

​

I get it. You come home from a long work day, and the last thing you want to think about is "What's for Dinner?".

So you reach for the easiest thing available, or you call in some delivery. Maybe it's a frozen pizza, a bowl of cereal (guilty!), or something from a box mix.  Although they will fill the void, they will also fill you with unwanted fillers and stuff not easy to pronounce and definitely not good for you. 

​

Are you overwhelmed by the information out there on how to make healthier life choices?

 

You are not alone. But the great part is, there is help.

 

Let's work together to make healthy meals at home with simple, time saving, meal solutions to fuel you day and your life. You can kick the processed food habit, and clear the brain fog for good.
