Blending Science and Nature: Secrets of Nutritional Supplements, Tracey Ward PhD., Founder, Professor, Research Scientist

The Real West Michigan

Professor Tracey Ward brings her 23 years of expertise in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry to discuss how natural medicine can transform our approach to health and reduce pharmaceutical dependency. She explains how her research and clinical experience led to founding Blend, a company creating high-quality natural supplements designed with therapeutic effectiveness as the priority.
• Modern medical education largely omits nutrition and natural medicine due to pharmaceutical industry influence dating back to the 1940s
• Many common "healthy" foods contain harmful additives, GMOs, and chemicals that disrupt our endocrine systems and damage our microbiome
• The microbiome is the "second most important thing in your body besides your brain" with profound effects on overall health
• Cellular regeneration means nobody is "too far gone" - new healthy cells replace damaged ones when we improve our nutrition
• Most supplements on the market contain "pixie dust" amounts of ingredients rather than therapeutic doses
• Dr. Ward's Blend products contain up to 17 complementary ingredients in glass bottles to avoid plastic contamination
• Current Blend products include immune support, bladder support, and kidney stone support with more products planned
• Quality of life improvement is the ultimate goal rather than symptom management through pharmaceuticals
