I am a Certified Nutritionist who has owned my own store since 1983. I have served on the original board for Citizens for Health and worked in developing the retail standards for the Organic Federal Legislation. I was also instrumental in creating and implementing the retail blackout that led to the passage of the DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) that protected consumer access to dietary supplements. Today I serve on the National Board of the Industry Trade Association.
