About Us / The Healthy Way

I am not your usual health food store owner. I don't have any degrees in nutrition or alternative treatments with herbs and supplements. What I do have is a little bit of life experience and a lot of compassion for those who have special dietary needs.

When my daughter was six years old she started having some stomach and intestinal problems. As she got older, her condition worsened. Almost every time she ate she got sick. At times she was in pure agony. It was heartbreaking for me, as a mother.

For six years we went to different doctors and hospitals, enduring many different tests, searching for an answer to my daughters problems. Finally, we were guided to a natural health practitioner. It was discovered that due to many bouts with ear infections, the antibiotic treatments had caused a yeast overgrowth through out her stomach and intestines. Many of the foods she was eating just made the problem worse. She was put on the strictest diet for one month; no wheat, dairy, sugar, or chocolate. Even certain fruits and vegetables were forbidden because of the hidden mold on them, which would promote yeast growth. After slowly introducing these foods back into her diet, we found that the worst triggers were wheat and sugar. What an adjustment to make! The search and experimentation began for alternative foods that actually taste good. It has been twelve years now, and we have found many alternatives.

A little over a year ago we moved to this area, and found there were no stores offering the foods we needed. We got tired of making the long trip to other locations. So I thought, why not open my own store? This would be a great benefit to me and to many others in the area. After six months of much thought and many prayers, I felt led by God to take the plunge into the business world.

I have found that I can share what I know from experience, with my customers. In turn, I am learning a great deal from them. I share in the excitement of my customers as they find the many good foods they can eat without getting sick. I know what that feeling is like. It is very fulfilling for me to be able to provide them with the variety they are looking for.
