The result is a perfect blend of humor, self-help and science fiction that has won over avid readers in categories as diverse as Comedy, Science Fiction and Humor in Self-Help.

The husband-and-wife duo boasts an impressive portfolio of accomplishments. Jeffrey and Mindy revolutionized the health and wellness industry by launching the natural bodybuilding and fitness modeling industry in Canada, which later spread worldwide.
They founded world-renowned organizations, including FAME and the World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO), inspiring a new approach to fitness for millions of coaches, athletes, therapists, models, and companies.

Their love of community and creativity is also evident in their podcast, Tuning IN with Jeff and (sometimes) Mindy, where they host creators from a variety of industries, offering a mix of education, empowerment, and entertainment.

Their academic experiences are equally rich, with Jeffrey launching Canada's first environmental magazine, Recover, during his undergraduate years, while Mindy served as Executive Editor for FAME International Lifestyle Magazine, contributing to numerous wellness publications.

Their debut series, 'The Ridiculous,' captures this spirit of community, wellness and humor in a light science fiction setting.

Today, as authors, Jeffrey and Mindy have combined their love of wellness, spirituality, nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness with their talent for storytelling, offering a unique reading experience that leaves readers both entertained and enlightened, and the Ridiculous series is precisely a testament to their commitment to encouraging self-discovery, self-love, and personal development in a way that is fun, engaging, and different from traditional methods.

As you lose yourself within the pages of Jeffrey and Mindy's stories, you will discover that the pursuit of health and wellness can be not only transformative, but also delightfully ridiculous! ...more
