Anca together with her husband Gabriel started their business unintentionally after Anca returned from a three-week stay at Hippocrates Health Institute in January 2011. “I went there to help heal myself of cancer and came back feeling like a new woman!,” says Anca. “Everyone noticed a  huge difference in me and I felt I just had to educate the public about this lifestyle.”   To support her health at home, her husband Gabriel began growing wheatgrass and sprouts for her to juice since they were unable to find reliable sources locally. He also adopted some of Anca’s new eating habits and after only three weeks of drinking wheatgrass juice, he no longer needed medication for his diabetes. “This spawned my passion for these foods so I quit my full-time job as an engineer in the automotive industry to run the greenhouse and manage my own business,” states Gabriel.   Anca teaches one-hour introductory juicing classes throughout the metro Detroit area including at their greenhouse. During her presentation, she shares her personal story of her cancer, explains the powerful benefits of wheatgrass, sprouts and green juices, talks about the various juicers and demonstrates how to juice for maximum nutrition. Visit the Wheatgrass and Sprouts web site at   WheatgrassAndSprouts.com for her full schedule and locations.

Jason Seib is a husband and father to three magnificent daughters. He is the author of The Paleo Coach, owner of Clackamas Physical Conditioning in Oregon, and partner on the Everyday Paleo team with Sarah Fragoso.  After his wife and 3 little girls, fitness and nutrition are unparalleled passions in his life.  He would prefer to read studies and scientific articles than do pretty much anything else that might occupy his time, with the exception of applying his knowledge to help people reach their goals.  He takes great pleasure in playing the roll of the heretic. Mainstream nutrition and fitness are so badly broken that the scientific truths about health, fitness, and weight loss are near mirror opposites of accepted “common knowledge”, and he loves helping people find those truths.  Empowering people with a much needed new perspective is how he gets his kicks, and his success rate with the frustrated fat loss crowd is proof that life is good for this fitness and nutrition geek.
