JP Fanton
JP Fanton is a low carb loving poker player who is so lucky to have a dual career as a natural health columnist and award-winning screenwriter!! His most recent project is a growing, alternative health website: HealthyFellow.com. The concept of the website is to inform both doctors and patients about cutting edge natural therapies that can enhance true wellness. This integrative medicine marvel hasn't entirely left the film world behind. He devotes one column a week to reviewing films that may provide his readers with some meaning and laughter, which he believes is vitally important in promoting good health. Go JP!! Besides being a total smarty, Fanton is an excellent cook and recently dropped 60 pounds on a low-carb program!! Born in Santa Monica, he hasn’t strayed too far from home. Fanton presently lives in Marina Del Rey with his wife, who is also his screenwriting partner.
