“Aging doesn’t mean slowing down. It means getting smarter about how you take care of yourself.”

I’ve always been curious asking questions, digging into the “why” behind challenges, and never settling for surface-level answers.

Being the oldest of seven in my family, I grew into an independent spirit early. I became the great listener, the helper, the one always searching for solutions.

That never-ending desire to find real answers has taken me down some interesting paths. The “why” behind health challenges, especially when it comes to helping people find real solutions to their problems.

For years, I struggled with skin issues like psoriasis and eczema, along with chronic low back pain.

Thirty-five years of sitting behind the wheel of a school bus, paired with the heavy lifting on our 150-acre farm, left my body worn down.

Long hours, daily stress, and exhaustion only fueled my flare-ups and left my complexion in constant battle.

I tried everything: chiropractors, acupuncture, massage therapy, oils, anti-inflammatory foods, NSAIDs, skin creams. Some gave temporary relief, but nothing touched the root of the problems.
