Visionary Leadership in Action (and on wheels!)

Twenty-five years ago, I learned about a product that began to change the course of my health and my life.  Shortly thereafter, I also started learning about the company behind that product.  At that time, I was a fledgling independent business owner—after spending the first 20+ years of my career as a nurse.  I had worked in hospitals, community-based settings, a professional organization and academe; none of which offered me useful guidance as an entrepreneur.

Over the years, I can definitively proclaim that I have learned more about what it means to be an ethically and socially responsible business person from Jay Martin (Founder of the Juice Plus Company) than any other individual.  While I have benefitted directly and indirectly from a lot of individuals, Jay continually inspires me to imagine a bigger vision along with an ever-growing servant’s heart—along with taking myself a little less seriously than is my usual wont.

Jay never ceases to amaze me.  I just learned about his latest innovative, non-profit leadership initiative:  My City Rides.  You can read about it in the article below, linked from Inside Memphis Business.

Farmerpreneurs–It’s a growing trend.

Wait a second – what’s a farmerpreneur, anyhow?

It’s a new generation of farming in which forward-thinking urban farmers utilize the aeroponic growing technology available with Tower Gardens to change the future of food – for the better.

In this (2.14 min) video, you’ll have an opportunity meet a few of these farmerpreneurs.  Come learn why these individuals chose to start their own business to help feed their local communities.

Intrigued about how you could grow a greater future (and a healthy profit)?  Wondering how it’s possible to make a living while making a difference – all without soil, high overhead and often without an ounce of previous agricultural experience?

Check it out here.  I’d love to hear your ideas – either by email or let’s schedule a time to talk.

Let’s Ask the Doctor

Sometimes, people who are considering adding Juice Plus+ (JP+) products to their daily nutritional intake have one (or several!) questions that they want to run past their health care professional before making a decision.

In this video interview [41.36 min] with Gretchen Comstock, Dr. Candace Corson (a Yale-educated Family Practice and Integrative MD) addresses a few of the most commonly asked questions.  I’ve included the list of questions they covered (see below), along with a time-stamp marking the beginning of each question.

  • I already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, so I don’t feel I need a supplement. [4:34]
  • The JP+ seems on the expensive side. [6:50]
  • Can I buy just a one month’s supply instead of the 4? [8:40]
  • How many servings of fruits and vegetables are actually in JP+? [9:48]
  • I take so many pills these days, I can’t possible add anymore. [11:35]
  • I can’t eat Juice Plus+ Complete because it contains soy and as a breast cancer survivor, I have been told to stay clear of soy. [14.31]
  • I love the taste of the JP+ Complete but it has too much sugar in it and I am working on cutting down my sugar intake. [16.32]
  • I have an auto immune disease and take medications to help suppress my immune system and I have to be careful not to boost my immune system. [17:32]
  • I am on a blood thinner called Coumadin and I‘ve been told not to eat leafy green vegetables. [18.40]
  • I have some serious digestion issues especially when I and fearful that JP+ may make them worse. [20.06]
  • Will JP+ keep the colds I get often at bay? [25.03]
  • I have food allergies to some of the JP+ ingredients so I am not sure I can take JP+. [26.40]
  • I’m pregnant and wonder if I need a prenatal if I am taking JP+.  [27.48]
  •  How old should my baby to start introducing JP+  [29.20]
  • I take a pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 so what differentiates JP+ Omegas from mine? [30.39]
  • I’m thinking of not continuing with JP+ because I haven’t noticed anything. [32.50]
  • If Juice Plus+ is so good why don’t more doctors, even the holistic ones, recommend it? [36.12]
  • I have more energy, better digestion, I sleep more soundly and feel so clear headed since starting JP+. What’s up with this?!! [38.36]

Is there a question that didn’t get covered during the interview?  Feel free to ask me (via email) or by leaving a comment below.

A Garden to Groceries Program in Memphis Tennessee

One of the many reasons I have felt so honored to be a part of the Juice Plus+® family for the past 25 years is the company’s ongoing mission of “Inspiring Healthy Living around the World“.  One of the ways we live this mission together is through multiple charitable partnerships.

What if….?

What if…????????

The gummies you gave your kids/grandkids would help them create better eating habits…to actually crave healthier foods?

What if…?

It were the most researched nutritional product in the world?

What if…?

It were scientifically proven to balance and strengthen the immune system leading to less sick days, less doctor visits, and less medication?

What if…☤

It were supported by medical professionals around the world, including pediatricians and top nutritionists, dieticians and more?

What if…?

College kids experiencing late nights, added stress, and poor diets could eat 30 raw fruits, veggies and berries every day?

Best health hack around!

Health Professionals Roundtable – Part 4

Vitamins and Whole Food

Welcome to the 4th episode  [2.50 min] of this Health Professionals Roundtable and learn from the panelist how and why eating more fruits and vegetables is the most affordable health care plan in which you can invest.

Note:  If you missed Parts 1-3, you can access them here:

  1. Part 1 – The Power of Food
  2. Part 2 – Educating Patients
  3. Part 3 – Recommended Servings

If you have been searching for answers for better health, may I invite you to consider the following question:

How would you feel if you actually ate as well as you know you should?

For example, as you scan each of the photos below, pause for a moment to consider how you might feel if you were somehow able to include all (or even most) of these in your diet, EVERY day….
