How to Build a Natural Medicine Cabinet

 

This week, I had the privilege of speaking to some amazing women at The Coffeehouse Lake Norman about how to revamp their medicine cabinets to create a Natural Medicine Cabinet. We had some great, very open health discussions, and I was thrilled to share that Shaklee supplements are not only pure and from the Earth, but also that they have proven results.  See The Landmark Study for vital information on why millions trust Shaklee to build health in their bodies.
