For more information: https://www.jennaandfriendsanimalsanctuary.org/blog/hi-im-anna-founder-of-jenna-and-friends To donate: https://www.jennaandfriendsanimalsanctuary.org/donate.html Anna is the founder of Jenna and Friends Animal Sanctuary (JAFAS), a small microsanctuary for rescued pigs and roosters in Chapel Hill, NC. Her mission is threefold: (1) provide a loving and safe forever home for farm animals in need, (2) serve as an example for others who want to start a small animal rescue in their community with little-to-no funding, and (3) educate the community through events and social media about the plight of pigs who suffer the consequences of the breeding and food industries. Since she started the sanctuary over eight years ago, Anna continues to carry out her mission by fostering several community partnerships. In addition to the healthy home-cooked food that she prepares for the animals, Anna receives food donations from local grocery co-ops, garden centers, breweries, and restaurants. She works with students in the UNC School of Journalism to create projects that inform and educate the public about factory farming and the need for more microsanctuaries. She also partners with a UNC animal rights organization called Vegans for Peace to expose the community to ethical food choices that promote good health, a safe environment, and respect for animals. Anna works a full-time job as a technical writer in corporate America to pay for expenses at the sanctuary, but she also welcomes donations on her website to help fund her important mission. She’s also using her writing skills to create a children’s book about the animals and all their whimsical shenanigans at the farm. Anna gives tours of the sanctuary on the weekends and welcomes volunteers throughout the week. You can learn more about Anna in her blog.

In college he was student athlete of the year at Stanford. Graduated 1st in medical school class. Dr. Rogers works as neuroradiologist, but also did fellowship imaging guided surgery (interventional radiology) at Harvard. He got fat in 30's and learned his way out. He was one of best medical students in USA in biochemistry and tries to understand pathophysiology. Has written a books about nutrition & study skills including "How to improve blood flow," "Hot topics in nutrition," "Straight A at Stanford & on to Harvard," "How to raise IQ, & become a genius." Stanford university student athlete of the year, 1985. University of Illinois medical school award for best male medical student in class; best student in pathology; highest board scores in class of 333 students; biochemistry score 780/800, possibly the highest in the USA (biochem is the most difficult subject in medical school). Biochem is “considered” to include nutrition. Residency at Northwestern with 99% board scores. Fellowship in interventional radiology (imaging guided surgery) at Harvard. Fellowship in neuroradiology at Rush. Author of multiple books about nutrition, reducing risk of disease, and study skills. Discovered almost all the major medical textbooks are 50-100 years out of date, and often, completely wrong. Secret desire #1 = to become a nutrition doctor, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. Secret desire #2 = to rewrite the major medical textbooks, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. The shocking truth is that most medical textbooks are essentially worthless, because they do no include nutrition, and most disease is caused by poor nutrition.
