From Sanitarium to Cereal Empire: The Kellogg Brothers INSANE Story 

I have lived here in Battle Creek almost 40 years. My husband grew up here. Another cereal giant was C.W. Post who (edit: was a patient ) before leaving with notes that helped him start his own cereal company. My husband works there now at Post Foods.. Really interesting stories there including the neighborhood Post Addition where many of the families lived who worked there. And how his daughter Marjorie took over the company when her dad died of suicide. Bird's Eye frozen foods and other endeavors followed. At one time over a hundred cereal factories were in this town, and two made it where the others didn't. The old sanitarium was knocked down ( smaller part of San across the street from large building which is now the Federal Center) but was here for years. Fun history ❤

My late aunty designed the rooster on Kellogg’s cornflakes!!! :) My family’s claim to fame lol! She was a super artistic, talented lady who would always give us cool shirts for Christmas with creative designs on them. We lost her during COVID- may she rest in peace xxoo

I'll never look at Cornflakes the same again. Thanks Jordan and Katie.

Thanks Jordan and.Katie.i love history this was so fascinating love you guys ❤❤❤❤

Can you just imagine how NOISY that therapy room would've been with all those machines going at once?

The Road to Wellville is a fascinating book/movie.

This man was a genius! He was way ahead of his time. Thanks for the tour Jordan & Katie

I had to take so many hours of required religious education to get my degree. The History of the SDA Church was eye opening.

you never post a bad video. keep them coming

✨Another interesting vlog. Katie is a champ for trying out the machines. She has a great attitude! Thanks to you both. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

Never knew that a Cereal I grew up with was tied to so many Inventions and Medical Ideas. Thank You, Joradn, this was Fun ! 😊

Interesting stories Jordan, I never heard any of this before. Katie was great to demonstrate on the machines.. sounded like one of the chipmunks for a minute there.😅

I’ve lived near Battle Creek my whole life and I learned a ton from you & Katie in my dressing room about Dr. Kellogg!

Welcome to my home town of Battle Creek, MI. One day you should visit the grave of Sojourner Truth,  1797 - November 26, 1883) was an American abolitionist and activist for African-American civil rights, women's rights, and alcohol temperance. She is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Battle Creek, MI. TY for your exceptional work Jordan.

Great blog Jordan! I have known a member of the Kellogg family for a number of years now and she has some interesting family stories!

Battle Creek is an Amtrak stop between Detroit and Chicago. There are a couple Guilded Age homes that can be seen from the train that are beautys.

What a very amazing volg and how Kellogg's brothers did for people's health thank you for sharing this volg Jordan and Katie ❤

Jordan, I just discovered your videos last week. I’ve always had a fascination with Hollywood, California and the truth and lore behind its history. I definitely truly enjoy your videos and I live vicariously through you. Hopefully, someday, I’ll make it out there. If you can, recommend some of your favorite places to visit. Thanks Brother.

My grandmother had one of those vibrating belt systems when I was a kid. I used to love to go on it because it made my skin itch. Kids are so weird!

Another great one Jordan!❤️❤️🐾🐾

Love your videos. Always interesting Take care both of you Be safe

Thanks Jordan and Katie! Very interesting about the past history of exercise equipment; and the start of health practices. You always give out so much information!! Great research!!

I love your Detroit Tigers cap, Jordan.

Thanks for an interesting and fascinating video Jordan and Katie

This was interesting.. Battle Creek is a couple hours from me. That hospital was huge. Thanks for the information. I love frosted flakes.

Thanks Jordan and Katie!

Jordan this was a great video with the beautiful Katie and thank you for sharing the Kellogg's history with us.

Thats a nice discovery center in battle creek michigan that john harvey started kelloggs empire i would love to see it good vlog jordan

Many thanks Jordan and Katie for this exceptionally interesting broadcast. Will certainly be looking at some of the documentaries. The design/architecture of the Sanitarium Building is really impressive. Great vlog.

Stop in Charlevoix & you can go to Castle Farms, once owned by the Loeb family (Leopold & Loeb murder). Also has a history of being a rock venue that hosted 100's of big names like Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Bob Seger, etc.

Another great one! I always appreciate when you share your adventures with us! Thanks!✌️💖

Interesting and crazy at the same time

Light therapies are still being studied extensively today, such as red and near infrared light as well as treating blood with low levels of ultraviolet light. Been studied and used for decades but demonstratively opposed by pharmaceutical companies. Not sure what Kellog was doing though.

You should wear hats more often. That Detroit hat looks good on ya, bud.

I love kellogs

Interesting vlog Jordan. I learned something new.

I never knew that origin of Kellogg and Post cereal. I do know when I go to the grocery store, there is two large isles of cereal. So much to choose from.

Wonderful video!!! Thank you!!!

I wonder how many people came down with skin cancer from all the “light” therapy. I realize there’s no way to know, but I’d still be curious about that.

Katie is a good sport - I would’ve been terrified to try any of those contraptions 😂

This place is crazy

This is a awesome video. I enjoy it so much and I love history

I highly recommend you watch the movie The Road to Wellville from 1994! Great movie based on this story! Lots of excellent actors, too! Love your videos!

Wrestler Rob Van Dam is also from Battle Creek as well.

I also went to a Seventh Day Adventist nursing school. Ellen White had a big role in my education 🥴

Corn flakes and fruit loops where my favourites as a kid. Kellogg’s came to Australia back in 1924 apparently. Great video Jordan. While watching this I saw you posted a Del Shannon video yesterday. Even though I’m subscribed I’m not getting notified all the time. I wonder why 🤷‍♀️ I was notified of this one. I like Del Shannon, so I’ll watch it later. ❤ Jodie 🇦🇺

If I'm not mistaken, Junior Walker is buried in that cemetery also.

Thanks that was awesome I never know this just love your videos keep up the good work 👍

hey yoo guys! from here in tacoma washington

Excellent Vlog!!

Ellen sustained a head injury as a child-hit in the head by a rock IIRC-and she began to have visions.

I.really Kelloggs cearel it's really good

Nice 😊

my last name is Kellogg and my dad was born within 50 miles 9f battle creek

Didn't anthony hopkins play him in a movie?🤔

He invented corn flakes because he thought it would control sex drives.
