I believe I have always been interested in nutrition and healthy living; however, it became very relevant when I became ill in my early 50's. At first I turned to the medical professionals to help me. I learned quickly that drugs were their answer for me and I did not want to go down that road.

Fortunately I was introduced to a line of pure, natural supplements and found my way back to a healthy life. Literally, changing brands changed my life. Now I am a real advocate of prevention. Of course we need physicians in our lives and I am grateful for their expertise; however, I have taken responsibility for my own health.

I am now in my 70's and feel great. I spend my time enjoying my husband of 55 years, my wonderful children and grandchildren as well as share with others the true wealth of life.....health. I do this by posting in a health blog ~ Check out my blog here ~ http://blog.joanneestes.com each week, and sharing with everyone I meet the products that helped me to change my life and begin my journey back to health.

I also share a wonderful business concept that is expressed by the CEO of the company I represent. "The real opportunity isn't in making a better living. It's in making living better." (Shaklee Chairman and CEO Roger Barnett) Since being with this company I have been my own boss, work my own hours and have no limit to my success. It has offered me not only a journey of health, but a life-changing opportunity. And I love sharing this concept with others.

Dr. Frank Lipman, Integrative Physician, states, "Although guidance may be helpful, lifestyle changes can't be imposed from above - they have to come from you. There is no greater reward than being the master of your own health."
