>> My name Jill Jane and I am the creator of the world's only rock and roll nutrition show, jump with Jill. Jump with Jill is a one hour school assembly so we bring a full scale rock and roll production into a school. We set up all the equipment, all the props, all the sound system, and we have lovely Jill and DJ that bring the kids, these wonderful messages packaged as songs so that they can learn how to make healthy rock. It is a great way to describe the show, to say that Jump with Jill is a crash course in nutrition. We cover respecting your body through healthy choices; drinking water, eating fruits, eating vegetables, exercising and of course to work to get your calcium for strong bones. We also have a remix version of the show, which is a little bit deeper delve into those topics so when schools comes back for the next year and say we love Jump with Jill, but we want a new show. We actually have a whole rebooted version that goes a little bit deeper into some of those topics, like intuitive eating and fiber, but if you start there, the kids will be lost, so you kind of what to, we start with what we call the original version so that kids kind of get their feet wet and get their rock face on so that they can properly rock out. It's an interesting place to be in because we I think as a culture we say, it's your fault; it's your individual fault for not taking care of yourself. And then you take a scope back and you look at all the factors that go into why we make certain choices and if you build environments that make it impossible for people to be healthy and you make it more interesting and easier to be sedentary; than people are fighting against the instincts that they are having to sit at a computer all day and it's hard road and I'm on it because I believe that we, as Jump with Jill will have the tools to make a change and if I didn't believe that I wouldn't be here, I'd work somewhere else. Because it's incredibly stressful working at your own company and I show up for work every day because I know we're making a difference.
