The Frum Health Club Podcast
We started The Frum Health Club with a clear mission: to spark real change in our community’s health and well-being. Too many in the Frum world lack the knowledge and guidance needed for proper nutrition and fitness, leading to preventable illness and, tragically, lives cut short.
This podcast and group is here to change that.
Each episode brings you practical health tips, simple meal ideas, fitness guidance, and inspiring stories, all designed to help you live longer, feel stronger, and have more energy for your family and your avodas Hashem.
Your health matters. Your family matters. Together, we can build a healthier, stronger future for Klal Yisrael.

The Terrifying Truth About the Foods We’re Eating with Jon Engelson
B’’H
In this episode, I sit down with Jon Engelson — veteran health educator, product innovator, and Chief Strategic Officer at Joburg Meats — to unpack how real food, simple habits, and clear thinking can transform energy, mood, and long-term health in the frum world.
Jon has spent 30+ years helping people reverse chronic issues by returning to real, natural eating. He founded You Are What You Eat, Inc., helped bring better snacks to schools and homes, advised top nutrition brands, and now champions clean, grass-fed, air-dried meat snacks for busy families.
What we cover
◼️ Jon’s personal path from misdiagnosis to holistic nutrition and practical coaching
◼️ Why most “healthy” processed foods are sugar bombs in disguise
◼️ Hidden starches that spike blood sugar, like maltodextrin and dextrin
◼️ Juice and “whole grain” myths, and how to read ingredients with clarity
◼️ Wonder foods that pull real weight: eggs, extra virgin olive oil, organic frozen berries, arugula, sauerkraut, and grass-fed meat
◼️ Raising healthy kids in a candy culture at shul and school
◼️ Cooking as a joyful skill for men and women that pays dividends
◼️ Health as a journey, not a destination, and how to keep an open mind while staying grounded
