ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Kristy Dotson

Kristy’s desire to teach and educate others about healthy eating first stemmed from her own dietary deficiencies.  She then gained further enlightenment while spending eight years working for some of the top food manufacturers in the world such as Kraft Foods and General Mills.  Her former position as a Senior Ingredient Buyer exposed her to “what’s really going into our food chain” and allowed her to see that many products approved for use by the FDA actually promote disease.  She came to the sobering realization that good health can only be gained from the inside out and decided to do something to help others who, like herself, have been deceived by the processed foods industry.

She acquired a BS in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama, as well as a Nutrition Consultant Certification from American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA).   Coupling these credentials with her professional background in the food industry, she began to operate her own nutrition consulting firm, Omnipotent Health, Inc in 2000.

Kristy  and her team of consultants provide practical teachings on the connection between diet and disease, offering services such as 1) one-on-one nutritional education sessions, 2) personal “food fitness level” assessments, 3) tours of health food stores complete with shopping tips, 4) information about supplements, and 5) culinary classes.  The organization specializes in providing simple, easy-to-understand seminars to health food stores, corporations, fitness centers, schools, churches, and community organizations.

Additionally, Kristy is a member of the Health Initiatives Committee of the American Cancer Society (Chicago Region) and is also a trained “Health Minister” as tutored by Hallelujah Acres/Back to the Garden Health Ministries and is certified on DSHEA by the American Nutraceutical Association (ANA).  She previously served as Ministry Leader for the Agape Health & Fitness Ministry of Living Word Christian Center, located in the Chicago, Illinois area.  Kristy holds both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in engineering from Purdue University and the University of Missouri-Rolla, respectively. 

 Christine Tennon

Christine Tennon’s passion for good health stems from her own struggles with food and her desire to live a life that reflects the “kingdom of God” that Jesus came to reveal.

Vocationally, Christine has a background in trial and insurance defense law, corporate training and broadcasting.  As a member of the body of Christ, she actively seeks to apply the word of God to everyday life – especially the fight for physical wellness. She has completed six-years of lay bible study through Bible Study Fellowship International. In 2001, Christine launched her own study of the American health care crisis and the rapidly rising cost of being sick.

These interests led her to one conclusion. Members of the body of Christ must immediately wake up and take consistent and strategic responsibility for preserving their physical temples for God’s kingdom business here on earth! Working with Kristy Dotson of Omnipotent Health, Inc., Christine presents the biblical perspective on good health to church audiences urging them to consciously and aggressively apply God’s word to their health.

In preparation for this teaching, God has given Christine an opportunity over the years to speak to hundreds of Christian women on what the bible says about effective communication. She has conducted her “Messages from the Heart” seminar for Heartfelt International Ministries of Dallas, Texas and another well known ministry in that city.

For more than ten years, Christine worked as a television news producer in markets from Texas to New York City.  She has also facilitated training seminars for attorneys, government employees, corporate executives and career professionals around the United States – providing instruction in the areas of legal ethics, conflict resolution, diversity and customer satisfaction.

Christine has a bachelor’s degree in Radio-Television & Film from Arkansas State University and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
