Scott Tips is the President and General Counsel for the NHF and has championed safe food and health freedom since the late 1960s.  Working with the NHF as General Counsel and serving on the Board of Governors since 1989, Scott has a unique historical reference in health freedom. A 25-year veteran at Codex Alimentarius fighting for food safety and freedom of choice, Scott’s persistence gained NHF the only seat for health-freedom representation there, where he has successfully argued changes to Codex food standards and guidelines affecting billions. As writer and editor-in-chief of Health Freedom News and the books Codex Alimentarius – Global Food Imperialism (Vol. 1) and Codex Alimentarius – Global Food Imperialism (Vol. 2), Scott further leverages his international health-freedom work. An FDA-specialist attorney, he has also represented dietary-supplement, herbal, and homeopathic companies in legal battles against the FDA and FTC. Because of this wealth of experience and history in the health-freedom movement, Scott Tips remains a much sought-after speaker and literary contributor engaged at the front lines of an intensifying battle.

In all that she does Kendra Duquette is on a mission to make the World a better place for all. She is the co-founder of the Take Your Health Back Now! system, Preventative Health Institute Director of Programming, two-time author, co-host of the TYHBN podcast, public speaker, and empowerment Leader. (See: Home TYHBN – Take Your Health Back Now!) Kendra Duquette has been in the Preventative health space for well over two decades. She is self-taught, having healed herself from debilitating health issues naturally using a holistic root-cause approach, and she has dedicated her life to empowering as many people as possible to take back control of their own health. She went on to have several successful businesses, including the Duquette Functional Medicine clinic, focusing on environmental health and prevention of disease based upon the philosophy that all chronic diseases and chronic symptoms are a result of a toxic internal environment caused by a toxic external environment.

In addition, she serves on the NHF Advisory Board, writes a new column for the NHF Magazine, co-authored with NHF President Scott Tips an NHF submission to Codex on pesticide dangers, serves on the planning committee for the upcoming NHF 71^st Anniversary Conference, and has been invited to represent NHF at an upcoming Codex meeting.

Kendra Duquette is extremely passionate about health freedom for not just a few but for all. She believes that everyone should have the information and ability to make the choices that are right for them when it comes to their own health and the health of their families. Conventional medicine is not equipped to reverse the chronic health conditions so many people are experiencing, and in many instances is adding to or causing the problem. Where there is a risk there must be a choice!
