Student Spotlight
Michael Maxon, M.S. graduate and Ph.D. candidate
When Michael Maxon was a teenager, he developed a health condition that changed his life: Hepatitis. The disease became chronic and because of this, Michael began an intense and personal interest in natural health. He developed a new gratitude for the Holy Spirit, which he gives credit to his recovery.
He has worked professionally in the nutrition and natural health industry since 1987, and has shopped at health food stores for more than 30 years. When Michael and his wife Valeria, go to a drugstore, they make a joke that they only buy band-aids and tissue there.
Michael earned a BS in Communication Arts and majored in politics and persuasion, focusing on speeches of influence in history: from Lenin and Jimmy Carter to Barnum and Bailey Ringling etc.
"I may not embrace their philosophies, but their appeal is magnetic. I wanted to learn why, in order to empower people to make changes that lead to a healthier life. Cleaning the liver is the key to health, and it is so named because this organ helps us live. Maintenance of the liver is simple, yet it is not widely done."
Michael's near-death experience brought a better understanding of the liver and a desire to help others.
Since 1998 Michael has worked in technical and product support with Garden of Life, interfacing with doctors and other healthcare providers, health food store employees and consumers.
He believes in the Garden of Life products because they are whole food and bring dense nutrients to the body. He run marathons, and works a forty hour week. Michael and Valeria Maxon eat 95% percent organic and believe that natural healing may take longer, but you stay well longer.
