Body Ecology’s 30-Year Anniversary Celebration

I still can’t believe my 30th anniversary of being in business is here!

I personally have so much to be grateful for, especially that you are in my life, for your belief in me, and for allowing me to be one of those people you trust to guide you towards better health. I take that role very seriously and have been working away to give you even more useful information and products in the years ahead.

Throughout this year, we’ve been reminiscing and looking back at all that we’ve done, the lives we’ve changed, the amazing people we’ve worked with and those who truly are some of our favorite resources.

At 72, I’m also very grateful for my good health so that I can continue to keep up a demanding pace. Yes, It’s Body Ecology’s 30th anniversary and it’s been that long since I started teaching about the microbiome (I called it the “inner ecosystem” way back then), candida and about the 7 Universal Laws. It seems like just yesterday.

Thinking back, my passion for health and healing really started long ago when I was 7 years old growing up in the south (Georgia to be exact). That was the year I began wondering, “what’s possible?”

I’ve been sharing this story lately…

I was surrounded by my large extended family at my grandmother’s annual, summer fish fry (catfish, hushpuppies, honey and butter, of course) when I turned around and noticed my great aunt, Helen, was pushing my great grandmother into the festivities in her wheelchair.

Granny Farr didn’t walk much any longer because her legs were painfully swollen. She had white hair and very little of it. I couldn’t help but notice the many age spots on her arms and legs. This woman was loved! Every one of her children and grandchildren adored her. They said she had the patience of an angel and had been a beautiful woman once.

“Gosh, I wondered, is this my destiny too?” “Would I be like her someday? Unable to walk — depending on others to wheel me around where I wanted to go?” I wondered, “Was there another way to live differently, to live pain-free into our old age?”

At that moment my mantra became (and still is): What’s really possible?

And so began a lifelong journey, fueled by the constant and unending desire to fully understand the possibilities in health and healing.

The 30-Year Timeline

After teaching about microbiome now for 30 years, I will continue to put all I have into staying ahead of the curve and provide you with the most effective ways to achieve and retain ultimate health.

And like I said, it’s been so great to look back on all of these years to see all that has been accomplished. Here are some of my favorite highlights!

1981:  Studied macrobiotics in Japan

1989:  Began teaching about the long-forgotten health benefits of fermented foods to provide the diversity needed in a healthy gut

1992:  Coined the phrase “inner ecosystem” to describe the still undiscovered network of microbes in our gut, now called the “Microbiome”

1994:  Introduced a powdered blend of Stevia Rebaudioside to the US and it has since become the safest and most popular natural sweeter in the world

1994:  Coined the term “cultured vegetables”

1994:  The Body Ecology diet is the first of its kind to be gluten, sugar and dairy free – the first Body Ecology Diet Book published!

1998:  Kefir Starter and Culture Starter are released

2002:  Invented coconut kefir

2008:  Released one of the first fermented probiotic drinks to the market, Cocobiotic

2010:  Released Ancient Earth Minerals as protection against mineral deficiencies

2013:  Completed an Advanced Fellow with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

2015:  Body Ecology’s Cookbook was released

2016:  Released the first fermented probiotic protein shake, the Probiotic Protein Shake

Coming soon!  Body Ecology’s Gut Smart/Gene Smart Summit, and a new book coming out in late 2019.

BE’s 1st Annual Summer Games 2019

We thought it would be fun to play some games this Summer in celebration of the amazing milestones that have been made in the Company’s 30-year history.  Starting at the end of June, there will be 3 rounds during the Summer where we’re going to publish 3 videos over the course of 3 consecutive days with clues in them that you have to find. The clue will pop up in the video and could either be a year or words. Each clue corresponds to something significant in our 30-year timeline (the timeline above will help explain the meanings behind the clues!).

BE Summer Game Rules

Round 1 (June)
Round 2 (July)
Round 3 (August)

It’s simple!
1 – Watch the videos here or on Facebook or Instagram.
2 – When you find a clue, comment with the answer underneath the video on Facebook or Instagram.
3- You must answer with the correct clues on all 3 videos in each round and comment with the answer under each video in order to have a chance to win that round.
4 – If you comment on the videos on Facebook (or Instagram), make sure you follow us. And if you tag a friend, you increase your odds of winning!
5 – If you share the video posts on Facebook or Instagram, and tag us, or use one of our hashtags (#bodyecology, #bodyecologydiet), you increase your odds of winning even more!
6 – The deadline to comment with the answer under any video during any of the rounds is the last day of that particular round.
7 – A random winner will be chosen at the end of each round.
8 – The winner of each round will be able to choose either a FREE consultation or product/bundle of their choice.

I hope you participate! And please remember, now, at our 30th anniversary, I keep researching, and learning how to be as healthy as possible, helping stay ahead of what’s coming in the field of health and nutrition.

I’m passionate about sharing my findings with you and want you to experience deep healing, as I have, so that you can create new possibilities for your own life. This is what keeps me moving. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of helping you create these miraculous changes in your lives!
