Support Jill & Jam for 2011 Grammy Bid

October 15, 2011 in Awards, Jill & Jam by Rockstar Nutritionist | No comments

Are you a member of the National Recording Academy? Consider supporting the “Jill & Jam” preschool healthy habits CD “Goin’ On a Journey: Songs for Every Body” for Best Children’s Album for the 2011 Grammy Award Nomination. Because this record was released on our independent record label, it is up against the giants so we need your support!

Beware, there are several other health-themed records in our category! What separates this CD is that creator Jill Jayne is an actual health professional – a registered dietitian with my masters and bachelors in nutrition – and works with top music and kids’ entertainment industry experts to craft her messages and produce the music for an age-appropriate, top notch sound.

To listen to the music, please visit iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/goin-on-a-journey/id403494649?i=403494679&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Our new healthy habits CD supports our touring live show that plays to little ones across the country. For a taste of just how hard we bop, watch our new promotional video for the Jill & Jam show here! Listen to the music and learn more at www.jillandjam.com.

Jill & Jam was created by registered dietitian and musician Jill Jayne, MS, RD. She is the country’s only Rockstar Nutritionist. She is the leading expert in creating and delivering interactive media about health to kids and families. Jill’s knack for rock ‘n roll nutrition is the result of being a registered dietitian mixed with her musical experience as lead singer-songwriter of her rock band Sunset West. Jill is a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition education from Columbia University and a bachelor’s in nutrition and theater from Penn State University. Before becoming a professional Rockstar Nutritionist, Jill was writer, producer and host of the nationally-syndicated, nationally-acclaimed children’s nutrition news program What’s in the News for PBS and a New York City public school teacher.

Healthy Habits Preschool CD Launch: Boston FNCE 2010

November 16, 2010 in American Dietetic Association, From the Desk, Jill & Jam, Local Media, Professional Speaking by Rockstar Nutritionist | No comments

What a launch! We sent our new tunes into official orbit this past weekend at the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, held in the lovely Boston, MA. The CD, officially titled Goin’ on a Journey: Songs for Every Body, CD joins our fleet of healthy habits musical offerings that now include both preschool and elementary. It is now available on Amazon and iTunes!

Jump with Jill

Jill & Jam

Dietitians from around the globe enjoyed a photo opp with “The Jills,” featuring the real Jill Jayne, MS, RD– creator of Jump with Jill– and the new avatar Jill. Avatar Jill represents our expansion of the show to improve our reach and vision as we tour multiple casts of Jills around the country.

The Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo is a conference specifically for the Registered Dietitian and Diet Technician. Most RDs have 5-7 years of training, separating us from your average health nut. The interest is beyond nutrients, but to how food helps and hurts our bodies and the world we live. This conference is our profession’s Christmas, the event a dietitian’s entire year revolves around. We rally our healthy messages all year long, and arrive to the conference ready for professional development, to connect with colleagues and to check out the latest in food trends dancing in our heads.

Exhibitors like myself share the show floor with giants like Frito Lay, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and Hershey’s. These companies are also sponsors of the conference, so you can imagine how the foods they produce are positioned to us.

*Have you heard that there is now more whole grains in chips?
*Did you know that kids will eat more carrots when dipped in a moderate amount of ranch dressing?
*Did you know that high fructose corn syrup is now called corn sugar?
*Have your heard about Hershey’s new “Moderation Nation” that promotes moderation, not depravation, as the key to a healthy life?

Dietitians walked away with totes filled like Santa Claus, with samples to spread the good product cheer, but the hope has to be that this new wave of marketability of “health” can continue to transform items we still can call food. Just like Christmas, it’s not about the presents. It’s our continued vigilance in educating our clients and customers about how to cut through this stealthy new food PR. After a day on the show floor with so many pastes, fortification and selling points, all I want is a salad.

About the CD:

Goin’ on a Journey: Songs for Every Body is a CD created by the Rockstar Nutritionist Jill Jayne, MS, RD that chronicles a preschoolers’ day of healthy habits in song. The Journey is packed with educationally sound pop hits that cover body awareness, trying new foods, making your choo choo go on healthy foods, dancing The Water Polka, wearing sunscreen, brushing your teeth, recycling, using the potty and falling fast asleep. Goin’ on a Journey is the soundtrack to the live, interactive show Jill & Jam that tours nationwide. Age 3-5. Copyright 2010.
