  • Jennifer Perkins, RN

    Jene ("Je-neeh") Perkins, a military veteran and long-time resident, began her health journey in 2008, discovering that nutrition was key to her success. In 2013, Jene studied medical nutrition and realized the critical role of supplementation and proper nutrition. A pivotal moment in Jene's journey was when a doctor specializing in IV vitamin therapy told her that this treatment could have significantly helped her father recover from end-stage lung cancer.
