ABOUT ME
My name is Kristy Russ. I am a pharmacist with 20 years of experience in helping people improve their health. 
Throughout my career, I have always tried to do that "little bit extra" to help improve the lives of the community. I have spoken at many health seminars- I've been asked even more lately because of my emphasis on nutrition and "natural" healing. For the last 12 years, I have written a monthly health article in the local newspaper. I've provided pharmacy care to seniors in an assisted-living situation- a challenging but rewarding experience. As I'm sure you know, seniors tend to have several health problems and finding solutions for each individual is a tricky business. My genuine caring attitude has allowed me to develop personal relationships with my customers. In turn, they generally come to me with their health questions and tend to trust my advice over their doctor's (whether that's good or bad depends on the situation ;-).At the risk of sounding hokey, the best part of my work is watching people's health and quality of life improve with the advice and interventions I've provided. Ask any health professional and they'll tell you that's why they chose their career in the first place- to help people. That's also why I decided to create this website. I know how important this information is, and the more people that learn about it, the better. So what better way to get the information out to the world? How do I know so much about antioxidants?Several years ago, I started doing some research about supplements and if they were necessary. Unfortunately, pharmacy education gives you nothing about nutrition beyond "Eat healthy and then you don't need vitamins". So unless your pharmacist has done their own research, don't bother asking them which is the best vitamin, because they don't really know much more than you do. Sad, but true.The more research I did, the more I learned how extremely important nutrition is to your health. Obviously, I knew it was important to "eat healthy", but I was absolutely shocked to discover just how vital "optimal" nutrition is. This led to more research, which is still ongoing (oh, the hours I've invested! Gives me a headache just thinking about it.) At least pharmacy education teaches you how to do proper research- that is, which studies are well-designed and valid and which ones are skewed and unreliable. As I'm sure you know, there's a lot of bad information out there- especially on the internet! I have made every effort to make sure the information on my website is accurate- I don't want it to be another dubious site. All the information in here is from reliable sources, so you can trust it to be correct.
Disclaimer: This is an information site- it is not meant to diagnose, cure or be a substitute for medical advice. No liability will accrue to the website owner in the event that a user suffers loss as a result of reliance upon the information. Basically, the intent of the website is to empower people to make informed decisions about their health & lifestyle.
If the information you find here helps you out, please let me know. Nothing makes my day more than hearing how I've helped someone. If you have any comments or suggestions to improve this website, please let me know that too. This is definitely new territory for me. I would never have believed I could create my own website, because I know next-to-nothing about computers. I'm quite proud and excited about it. This is where I have to thank SBI!- they promised it was simple, and it truly is. I would encourage any of you that have a passion about anything to check them out. They'll show you exactly how to turn your passion into a profitable business. And I do mean literally anything- you wouldn't believe what kind of topics people have turned into very profitable websites. Click on the "Powered by SBI!" icon at the bottom to learn more.
