Jared St. Clair, an herbalist and natural supplement formulator, shares his journey into the health and wellness space. Growing up, his parents owned a health food store, Vitality Nutrition, where he worked from a young age. By 14, he was helping customers, and by 15, he was managing the store. At 22, he bought the store and has owned it for 30 years. Jared's interest in natural health began early when he started using products like vitamin C packs and Echinacea to boost his immune system. He was fascinated by the potential of herbs and supplements to improve health and wellness. As he grew older, Jared became interested in sports nutrition, which was emerging as a distinct field. His experiences and interests ultimately led him to become a leading expert in natural health and wellness, guiding people toward vibrant health through informed choices and effective supplements.
