1990-1991: A Quest Begins
In 1990 and 1991, Joanna lost both of her parents to cancer. The grief was overwhelming, but it sparked something deeper—a burning question that would shape the rest of her life:
"Why do people get sick?"
This wasn't an academic question. It was personal. And finding the answer became her mission.
Green Earth
Organic Shop, 1991
Joanna's first "laboratory" was a small organic shop called Green Earth. It was here, surrounded by herbs and whole foods, that she discovered a quote that would become her guiding principle:
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."

The "We-cologist" Approach
Most health practitioners focus on one thing—diet, or supplements, or exercise. Joanna sees the whole ecosystem:
- •What you're putting into your body
- •What's in your environment (water, air, home)
- •How these factors interact with your unique biology
- •The 3 causes of cellular distress: starvation, toxification, suffocation
