Guest Bio
Kyyeetha Archinard is the name given to her by her father. Ky is the name given to her by her mother. She is everything that she loves. A wife, a mother of four, the creator and operator of two business, and a children's book author. Despite graduating with a degree in Biology from Fairleigh Dickenson University, she knew her path was to take over the family church. Kyyeetha was ordained to the Ministry at 14 and kicked out of the church at 25 for being gay. Forced to change paths her life went on a roller coaster ride in many different directions.
Her businesses were born out of necessity. After her wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and her twins with autism, she knew she needed to make some changes. After she had thrown away and gave away everything in the family pantry, the jagged road toward organic living began. Educating and coaching people on approaching this transition became a mission. Taking clients on a field trip through their own pantry has helped to transform so many lives. ‘Healing begins with nature’ became the slogan for one of her companies because that is what she believes. Cooking clean also meant that the herbs and spices they used would have to clean up as well. It took Kyyeetha a year to create the spice combinations she began selling five years later. Combining herbs and spices that not only taste great but heals the body was a goal.
Learning and growing with two children on the spectrum encouraged her to write stories for them. She found it hard to find books that helped them connect emotionally with situations past and present. Her first story was specifically written for her son. After realizing how much the stories were helping her twins develop emotionally, she decided to publish them, hoping to help other families. Three more books are currently being self-published. A Rainy Day At The Zoo, The Girl With The Yellow Bow, an Untitled Gymnastics Story. All based on truth stories.
Her Organic and Natural seasoning company is online at JustGoodFlavorCompany.com. Her Organic and Natural Body care product line can be found at LoveitNatural.net You can also find her on Twitter Facebook and Instagram. Her children’s book, A New Friend For Justice, is available on Amazon. - Length (mins) 25:34

Guest Bio
Jery Cochern, Pure Essence’s Founder and President of Research and Development, is an industry icon who has established two highly unique brands – Rainbow Light & Pure Essence – each of which provides innovative and effective formulations. He is a Certified Nutritionist, Certified Nutritional Consultant, and one of a handful of American Superior Herbalists. He is widely known as one of the natural industry’s most holistic thinkers, innovative formulators, and exceptional speakers.
Jery’s dedication to the natural health movement has spanned 40 years. In 1978, he was a key member of a team of nutritionists who introduced spirulina to the US Market. A year later, he became the National Sales Manager for a major spirulina importer. Through his continuing education seminars, he made “green foods” a household term.
In 1984, Jery founded Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems and made it, virtually overnight, one of the industry’s largest, most successful brands. There, Jery introduced the world’s first food-based vitamin and mineral formulations.
In 1990, Jery sold Rainbow Light to pursue natural research. It was during this time that he developed a love and appreciation for Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic Medical disciplines. He also discovered Superior Herbalism, which is the world’s oldest and most profound system of health building dietary supplementation.
After seeing what Superior Herbs can do, Jery founded Pure Essence in 1998. Incorporating these remarkable plants into supplements and nutraceuticals, he took the whole food experience to a whole new level. As a result, Pure Essence became an industry leader, with formulations that address underlying causes in ways that competing products do not. - Length (mins) 24:54

Guest Bio
Dr. Patrick Flynn, DC, is the founder of The Wellness Way, as well as an international speaker and author, but still maintains that he is a “simple, country boy who loves what he does.”
Dr. Flynn grew up in Crivitz, a small town in northern Wisconsin. He was inspired early in life to understand the human body when teachers labeled him as “troubled and hyper” (reflecting a modern day ADHD diagnosis). Rather than turning to medication, he turned to education, and as a thirteen-year-old boy he read numerous books his local library had to offer. Shortly after meeting his now wife, Christy, she informed him that she was unable to have children and his direction became clear: understanding hormones and the subject of fertility.
Dr. Flynn continued his studies with greater passion and built his practice around achieving the best clinical outcomes for patients by testing for and addressing the reasons for dysfunction, rather than focusing on symptoms. As such, he has been able to successfully guide patients with a wide variety of clinical diagnoses to restored function.
Now, he and his wife have four beautiful daughters. - Length (mins) 23:06
