What is Activated Nutrition?

My lifelong passion for nutrition, fitness, and healthy living led me to earn my B.S. in Nutrition/Dietetics.

When I took my first college Nutrition 101 course in 1981, we learned that whole foods were the foundation of good nutrition—not supplementation.

More than 40 years later, I still believe that! But I've also learned there's more to the story.

Our environment has changed dramatically and so has our understanding of how nutrition influences cellular health.

Over 15 years ago, I discovered an approach called Activated Nutrition—using specific plant-based nutrients to support our body's built-in cellular defense systems.

This discovery became an important part of my personal wellness journey and how I care for my family.

Today, at 64, I'm more passionate than ever about helping others understand how nutrition, movement, and cellular health work together to support healthy aging.

What's Impacting Our Cells?

Every day, our bodies encounter environmental stressors we may not even think about:

Microplastics in food, water, and everyday products
Pesticides and agricultural chemicals
Ultra-processed foods
Air pollution and environmental toxins
Hormone-disrupting chemicals

Some of these exposures contribute to oxidative stress, which can influence cellular function, inflammation, and tissue health.

What Does This Have to Do With Your Fascia?

Our fascia is living connective tissue that depends on healthy cells, collagen, circulation, and proper nutrition.

Fascial Fitness supports our bodies through movement. Activated Nutrition offers another way to support cellular and connective tissue health from within.
