Tristina:

Ryan and I have been married for 16 years and have always had a passion for fitness and health.  I was a professional cheerleader for the NFL and NBA and had started my own dance and pilates studio. However, when I retired from cheerleading we had dreams to start a family.  I was in the best shape of my life, and thought I was the healthiest I had ever been. 

My friends were getting pregnant so easily.  I started buying onesies and little baby shoes, and we planned on how we were going to announce our pregnancy to the family.  However after a year of trying, being on liver damaging prescriptions, and getting our heart broken month after month, I was considered infertile by doctors. To say we were devastated was an understatement. 

So we started to dig into this problem ourselves.  It wasn't until I went to a few naturopaths and chiropractors that I found out that like SO many others, I had a wheat allergy and my diet of so-called healthy food and artificial sweeteners were causing inflammation in my body to a point where my organs weren't working properly.  Finally, putting an answer to our problem felt euphoric.  We quickly made changes, learned a crazy amount about nutrition and everything that we put in and on our bodies, and got pregnant six weeks later with our son.  And again 2 years later with our daughter.

We knew we had to start sharing our journey to help others and this has had a huge impact on how we started and branded our business.
