Align with Design

KEEP IN MIND: Renouncing harmful modern-day diets, habits, and toxins leads to great health and wealth! Yet, today, our family histories and our gut microbiomes are overemphasized as personal health and responsibility are sacrificed and usurped for the unsustainable profits from creating, sustaining, and treating chronic sickness. Genetic issues do, however, benefit from exceptional knowledge and optimization. Destructive forces compel many of us to belittle, reject, and vilify the enrichments of Align with Design.

Welcome!  I’m Tad Doerr VanderVoort Jr. DRE, the Headfirst Coach of Kingfisher Wellness. My dad’s favorite bird was the Belted Kingfisher. My favorite quote from dad was always "Everything is Connected to Everything Else!"
​We're all students of connections. Our connections work best when our behaviors align with design. There are many guidelines for our wellbeing, ​but do they align with design?

---

Why? How? What's the truth?

My compulsion to ask those questions sparked an early love for everything science, thought, and language. From KCC, CCC, and MSU I cobbled together a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. Truth is truth in and out of any discipline. Truth is truth with or without our belief. I was compelled on my quest to my highest formal education, a doctorate in religious education (DRE). Today I have the same compulsion, excitement, and beginner’s mindset! Kingfisher Wellness is the manifestation of my mission and ministry.

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” Dr. Marcia Angell

Why fill your NEW You Prescriptions?

These personalized directives align with the real science in physiology and ecology. With centuries of demonstrated success, these directives produce much healthier people and a much healthier planet!
We must unlearn generations of ubiquitous propaganda, cons, chaos, and falsely touted "facts and science." Adhering to this nonsense has made us sick!

definition: pate /pāt/
noun

The mind or brain.
The head of a person;
The top, or crown, of the head.

The PATE is where we begin to work. Headfirst, we will rise above the cons and chaos, gain real understanding, align with design, and improve our habits to take back our precious health and wellness.

We’re on top of the Food Chain!

Yet, we are still confused about what to eat. We’re stewards of the planet. Yet, we’ve abused our soil, water, air, animals, children, and ourselves.

Why do we overeat? Chronic snacking can be catastrophic, especially when low-nutrient, anti-nutrient, and toxic carbohydrates that heighten cravings and inflammation are chosen.

How do we turn corners and get healthy? Kingfisher Nutrition Coaching, exposes the cons, help us align with design, and turn corners.

When we choose to nourish and fuel, our bodies and brains can be adjusted for the better. Getting in sync with the feedback from our body clocks, hormones, neurotransmitters, and our own social and circadian connections helps us

Feel Great! Again and Again!

What we choose to nourish and fuel our brains and bodies with is crucial to a

Modern Manners Do Damage!

Modern manners and choices do damage to our personal and communal wellness. Our behavior (the care, neglect, and abuse we give our internal and external connections, pathways, and systems) defines and measures our wellness. Our wellness connects us to everything else: nutrition, spirituality, even the universe!

For many of us who just want a reprieve, our wellness infrastructure must need key repairs. Repairs that work? Shutting down modern-day behaviors we’ve been duped into and starting up good ways and old paths from simpler times.

Kingfisher Wellness Coaching uses a trove of tools. We can all begin to heal our wellness by using behavior, emotion, and habit management tools that work for us.

The headfirst pursuit to align with design and change our behavior accordingly is truly how to

You are the HERO of your NEW You practice.

NEW You is a DISCIPLINE and WAY (not a destination and weight)! And when we work together, you’ll say “I truly understand.”

This isn’t easy. I've recovered from erroneous recommended guidelines, and I've have helped others. If you let me, I will help you too—headfirst with knowledge, alignment, vision, identity, process, discipline, way, support resources, and celebrations!

Tracking (mindset, process, metabolic state, etc.) is part of adjusting the dials on the lamps used to illuminate your NEW VIP discipline and way.

Wanting something gets you nothing.

CARE: Consultations and Assessments are used to plot out Roadmaps and Expectations based on your Nutrition, Exercise, and Wellness past, present, and doable future. These living booklets contain personal prescriptions, educational resources, valuable insights, and usable tracking options.

We’re VIP (Vision, Identity, Process) beings; it’s part of the feedback system that shapes who we are and who we become next. We use VIP to guide our discipline, modify our identity, and change our ways! Working this loop, while we align with design, we attract new wants and goals and stop pining and toiling about old ones.

Stacking good habits brings us joy and gratitude as we mature and achieve. Success excites us as we turn each corner. Proficiency here brings a love for what's good for us, courage for what’s next, and vitality to live our dreams!

Plant-Based Nutrition

​This is a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate program from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in partnership with eCornell. This study expands beyond the research in retired Cornell professor T. Colin Campbell's book, 'The China Study.'   This program purports to help students think critically about diet, health, and disease.

---

Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate has been approved by the Foundation of Care Management, the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association for continuing education credits.

Nutrition and Society Here we examine the troubled state of health in America, identify how scientific theories take shape, and differentiate between reductionist and “wholistic” perspectives in nutrition. You will be introduced to basic nutrition concepts and discover how food policy and politics affect diet and health choices. You will also learn how industrial food production impacts the environment. Lastly, you’ll examine evidence-based principles on the benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet and consider nutrition from an expanded perspective: That is, nutrition as a symphony of complex interactions, rather than the result of individual nutrients and mechanisms.

Diseases of Affluence Here we are introduced to the China Project, the most comprehensive study of diet, lifestyle, and disease ever conducted. We take a closer look at diet’s crucial link to chronic diseases worldwide, including coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Lastly, we investigate the scientific evidence supporting a whole food, plant-based diet’s ability to prevent and even reverse these chronic diseases.

Plant-Based in Practice Here we focus on personal behavior and the tools that support positive lifestyle change. We analyze several popular diets and compare them to a whole food, plant-based diet. We then discuss the practical application of this lifestyle, including its role in raising a healthy family, improving athletic performance, and ensuring a lasting change. Much of this application includes dispelling popular myths—that children require dairy, that athletes require supplementation, etc. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to take control of your health and help others do the same.

Master of Religious Education (MRE) Doctor of Religious Education (DRE)      Both degrees earned research and application elements. On Accreditation Do Not Be Unequally Yoked: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJB 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Psalm 62:9 KJB Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. Luke 16:15 KJB And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 KJB 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Survivor Man - Never a BOY SCOUT
Father's Son: My dad, Tad Sr. was an Outdoorsman and Survival Skills Teacher! He even taught guns and hunter safety to kids. He had his Master’s degree in Biology. He taught H.S. and Elementary kids Outdoor Science, was the advisor to O.A.K. (Outdoor Adventures Klub), Coached Football, and the Science Olympiad. "Everything is Connected to Everything Else." He said it often and it stays with me. He was my favorite teacher.
Published: In many ways, I have followed in his footsteps. I scored more points than any student he ever coached in the Science Olympiad. Funny, I only did it my senior year. He also taught me to Blaze My Own Trail! I have done that too. Stories about our "Survivor Man" adventures have been published by multiple sources. My stories of the wilderness continue. Dad has moved on to explore the heavens in eternity. The stories he comes to me with are better than mine. I've even had a story of his from the other side published!
Naked & Afraid: I’ve been encouraged to go on the TV show Naked and Afraid. When asked why not, I answer "I don’t like being afraid." And all those shows attract amateurs.
Survival Gear: When asked what my #1 piece of survival gear is, I answer ‘Dental floss.’ Oh, because it’s so versatile? ‘No. I need to floss my teeth.’
