From Supplement Store to Comprehensive Health: The Story of Carl and Debra
It all started in 1995 when Carl and his wife Debra established their first supplement retail store in Texas. From there, they pursued a bed and breakfast venture, complete with a country store and a 1,400 peach tree orchard. They also raised cattle and grew seasonal vegetable crops. After adopting their children, they delved deeper into the world of holistic health throughout Texas. Eventually, they sold their Texas-based businesses and moved to Carl’s hometown, Montgomery, where they acquired the Herb Shop supplement store. The store had been in operation since 1993.
In 2003, Carl obtained his Doctorate of Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Health. As Carl worked with numerous physicians and practitioners in western medicine, he realized the positive impact of supplements, diet, and detoxing on the human body. This led him to develop a comprehensive approach to help individuals regain their vitality and restore optimal health. His mother’s story is a testament to the effectiveness of this approach. Despite being diagnosed with Stage 4 Terminal Liver Cancer and COVID, Carl’s mother is still alive and doing well at 96 years of age thanks to his dedication to allowing the body to heal itself.
