As someone who has been an athlete all my life, with 13 years of competitive gymnastics, achieving a 1st-degree black belt in Kung-Fu, and performing live stunts and acrobatics in over 30 countries around the world, I've always understood the importance of what you put into your body. It's not just about the calories in versus calories out; it's about the quality of the food, vitamins, and minerals you consume that can truly make a profound difference.

But it was a transformative experience that truly drove this point home. A jaw issue forced me to undergo surgery, leaving my jaw wired shut for eight weeks. During this challenging period, I had to rely on a liquid diet. Dissatisfied with the protein powders and meal replacement shakes available, I decided to take matters into my own hands and started making my own juice.
