Personal Story

My name is Beckie Badge. I am a Christian, wife, mom, homesteader, fan of anything chainsaw related, Certified Nutritional Counselor, HTMA Practitioner, cultured foods enthusiast and a Weston A. Price/Wise Traditions member. My two favorite activities are trail running and mountain biking. I continue to grow and follow the practices I have learned in my nutritional education with myself and my family because they have freed us from sickness and helped us be happier, healthier, versions of ourselves. I grew up on the typical western diet of processed foods with lots of white flour and sugar. I was the kid that always had cavities when I went to the dentist. I remember being 14 years old and having a dentist tell me that I would need dentures before I turned 30. Guess what? I’m 35 and still have most of my teeth. Thank you Jesus!

When I turned 15, I unfortunately turned to an eating disorder to keep my weight down and cope with the stresses of life. I wish I had the tools necessary to address the imbalances that were going on in my body at that time. I am so thankful I have Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to use with my family and my children. Throughout my teenage years my loving parents tried so many things to help me. Nothing worked long term. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19. I was given low dose Adderall to help with College. My grades improved, but my health declined. What I needed was balance. After I married Kyle, the love of my life, I began to find balance. Kyle and I began drinking raw milk and purchasing our produce from the local farmer’s market. It wasn’t miraculous, but it was a step forward.

It has been 15 years since our first trip to the local farmers market. Since then we’ve had four children. Our children have driven our passion to live a healthy lifestyle and help others do the same. My addiction is now a conviction to help others find freedom like me.
