About Jeff

Jeff Walker spent over two decades navigating chronic health issues—from stubborn digestive problems to metabolic dysfunction and persistent inflammation. Through relentless research into nutrition science, he discovered that what we snack on matters just as much as our main meals.

This personal journey transformed him into a dedicated nutrition researcher who analyzes packaged snacks based on USDA nutritional data, ingredient quality, and how different macronutrients affect energy, satiety, and health outcomes. Jeff founded Healthy Snack Guides to share evidence-based recommendations backed by nutritional science.

His mission: help health-conscious consumers find snacks that support their wellness goals through transparent nutritional analysis.

My Health Journey

For over two decades, I battled a combination of chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn't fully address. Persistent digestive problems made eating unpredictable and uncomfortable. Metabolic dysfunction meant my energy levels were all over the place. And low-grade inflammation made everything feel just a bit harder than it should.

The turning point came when I started treating my diet like an experiment. I tracked everything, eliminated suspects one by one, and slowly rebuilt my relationship with food. What I discovered was that the small choices, the snacks, the quick bites between meals, were just as important as the main dishes.

Today, I've found a way of eating that works for my body. But I remember how hard it was to find reliable information about packaged snacks. That's why I built Healthy Snack Guides: to give others the research I wish I'd had when I started.
