The GRO Team

We aren’t doctors, but we have our “PHD’s” in Practicing Health Daily. We were founded by and made up of individuals and businesses who have a real desire to make a positive impact on the world by creating a focus on health and wellness.

We are passionate about healthy living and wellness, and we are dedicated to following our passion by creating a truly meaningful solution to join other like-minded professionals, organizations and individuals together for the greater good of all.

We advocate positivity and proactive wellness solutions. Our members come from all walks of life and every end of the spectrum. If you care about being healthy and feeling happy, we want to work with you to help you achieve your goals.

 Nutritional Counseling:

Joe Hanes has dedicated the last forty five years of his life to healthy living and eating. It wasn't always that way though - Joe grew up "the fat kid in school." Basic training prior to his duty in the Air Force yanked him into shape, but he soon discovered that a sedentary career as a pilot would quickly redeposit the weight. Joe was fortunate to cross paths with the legendary Paul Bragg (father of the modern health food store and many health supplements) back in 1968. Paul's mentoring forever changed Joe's life as he embarked on a permanent lifestyle change that entailed eating only living, nutrient dense foods, juices, smoothies and supplements. Joe has pioneered his own healthy recipes and regimens that have helped many people create healthy lifestyles and avoid health crises.

Chelsea Jo Conard is the founder of Artful Balance and a board certified holistic health & nutrition counselor on a mission to spread awareness and abundant health. She helps people who want to lose weight, have more energy and feel better stop fad dieting and find their unique perfect foods and lifestyle once and for all. Diets don't work, because everyone's body is different, and Chelsea helps people implement gradual changes of adding in rather than restriction over a period of time so that they can live a more balanced life permanently, love their body, and experience healthy as their "norm."

Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be food.

Healthy Business Partners:

We love to see great businesses thrive and succeed. One trait that makes a business great is truly caring about the customer’s well being, the good of the public, as well as the environment. These factors will always outweigh the importance of profit, because if the business takes care of the customer, the business will come - and so will the profit - over and over – year after year.

Health is our passion. We respect the importance of health, because without it, no business (or anything else) matters. Our mission is to create a network of people and businesses that help each other become healthier, happier, more enriched and capable of infinite success.

There is no higher compliment to a business than a personal word-of-mouth referral - so we would like to introduce you to some healthy businesses that you should know. The following local and national companies support your health and deserve your business. We know that our referrals will be beneficial to all - enjoy doing “healthy business."
