Frank Davis: US Nutrition and How Whole Food Nutrients Are the Missing LinkThis week Tee is delighted to welcome Frank Davis! He has been in the health and wellness industry for over 30 years and is passionate about providing effective and uncompromising nutritional products. As a child, Frank had every conceivable childhood disease and struggled throughout childhood and adolescence with a compromised immune system. In his early 40s after dealing with hepatitis, mononucleosis, and pneumonia, Frank ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome which incapacitated him and naturally took him out of the activities he loved. During the nine months he struggled with chronic fatigue, Frank became obsessed with finding a solution and researched all options –medical and nutritional. After attending a symposium composed of numerous PhDs from various Universities across the country, Frank learned quickly of the compromised quality of the United States’ food supply. He learned that our foods are grown in nutrient-deficient soils, treated with toxic herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, and transported thousands of miles over weeks of time before arriving at our homes. After these revelations, Frank set out to find a way to ensure that the foods he ingested had all of the original health benefits that God had designed them to have. In partnership with nutritional scientists, Frank developed , a premium nutritional supplement that contains 100% of the vitamins and nutrients that are so desperately absent in our food supply. At 76 years old Frank is still in the prime of health. His doctor calls him a rare medical specimen, which Frank attributes to his belief that if you give your body the right nutrients, it can heal itself!

Dr. Varma received his scientific training at several distinguished academic institutions, including Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D.) and the University of California, San Francisco. His scientific work has been published in many prestigious journals, including Nature. Dr. Varma’s mission is to change the ways we treat chronic bacterial diseases and he is working tirelessly to achieve this goal with a microbiome-based technology platform. He is the co-founder and CEO of , the world’s most advanced probiotic acne system. He and his team discovered a probiotic that actually lives on healthy skin and specifically kills the acne-causing bacteria to balance our microbiome. They built Phyla products on this revolutionary breakthrough in skin microbiome research using bio-phages. Current approaches to acne have not changed much over the decades and are so terribly harsh for the skin. At the same time, other skincare companies take advantage of trending probiotics with dubious products that simply contain dead yogurt bacteria, which are of no use. Phyla products are designed and manufactured with rigorous European quality standards, built on a truly natural probiotic, isolated from healthy skin for healthy skin. They are safe, non-toxic, cruelty-free, vegan, and free of phthalates, parabens, and artificial fragrances.
