Jannie has extensive experience in sports, physical therapy field providing rehabilitation coaching. Two athletes and numerous sports, including basketball, football, rugby, soccer, hockey, and volleyball. Eight years ago, Jannie started her foundation focused on teaching and helping inner-city kids learn good eating habits and the importance of fitness.

The IDK foundation's mission is to address the prevention of obesity and chronic disease. By teaching young people, fun exercises, and good nutrition, which will help them improve their self-esteem by reinforcing positive thinking. IDK stands for, I didn't know, and it reflects Jannie's upbringing in a community that did not know the fundamentals of healthy eating and how to live a healthy life.

Jannie's passion to help children. Develop a healthy lifestyle is obvious. When you speak to her in a minute, you will hear a person devoted to helping kids and adults develop healthy habits that will lead to a healthier lifestyle.  I want to highlight her book is titled Jannie's Fitness Rehab to Clean Eating, which can be found on Amazon, and importantly, a portion of the proceeds from the book sales goes to helping children lead healthier lives.

IDK, which stands for I Didn’t Know, reflects Jannie’s upbringing and strong desire to help inner-city youth develop better eating and fitness habits. As a young African American woman, she realized that her environment prevented her from learning healthy eating habits. How could her family and community live a healthy lifestyle if they DIDN’T KNOW how? 

Along with the fantastic foundation that Jannie is leading to help children, she is also active with her company, Hands-on Training & Therapy, which provides one-on-one coaching and training for clients in the Dallas area.  On the podcast, we will discuss healthy habits we all can use to get our bodies and mental state in the best possible place to start 2021.
