Meet the Founder

Founder, Francis Jansen MD

I was overweight as a child and have struggled with my size throughout my life. Teenage social pressure compelled me to temporarily lose a considerable amount of weight. I learned that physical activity allowed me to "burn-off" dietary indiscretions but I had no clue about how my diet contributed to my health.

Fascinated by my body's ability to metabolically wax and wane I studied physiology in college and later earned a Masters Degree in Chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry. I went on to research at Chicago Medical School how certain natural compounds affect the body's metabolic rate. My curiosity eventually led me to the study of medicine. As a physician I now have a professional understanding of my body's utilization of the fuel I provide it; however, as an endomorph myself, I continued to struggle with my own size and health.

Throughout my life I have learned both intellectually and personally what it takes to control my health. Over the years I have tried nearly all of the commercially available weight loss programs which self-profess to be the next miracle but have found fatal flaws in each.

My formal education helps me to appreciate the science behind the marvelous workings of my own biochemistry. However, my personal challenges with weight have taught me that commitment to a rigorously structured "program" is critical to success in my own life. My 30+ years of practicing Medicine has permitted me to witness many of the unfortunate clinical outcomes of unhealthy lifestyles. These lessons have helped me develop a "Program" to systematically achieve all that my life-long education and personal health challenges have taught me. I began to apply this lifetime of research and personal experience to my own health. I started putting into practice what I have learned over the years and have come to the realization that this program works really well. Recently I lost 80 pounds on SMARxT DIET™ and have thus far maintained my new weight for over two years. Family and friends started asking to try SMARxT DIET™ and have enjoyed their own similar success. It is their encouragement which has caused me to offer this program to others. My hope is that you too will find your own “Health Renewal” with SMARxT DIET™ and that you might share your experience with your family and friends.
