Why I Started OG Health+: A Wife's Personal Battle between Health or Sanity
I did not plan to start a nutrition company. I was the least likely person to get involved with designing supplements. But the Lord has a way of writing stories for us we never intended.
Hello from Dr. C’s wife, Jennifer. While I try to mostly hide behind the scenes, I am here for it all! I cannot keep up with all the social media, but I have certainly enjoyed getting to know you all at your appointments in NC, AZ and CO. Dr. C and I have been so blessed to have been entrusted by the Lord on this journey of truth and healing.
Lately I have been asked many times, “Where did you guys come up with the idea of making your own supplements?”
This story starts with my husband, Dr. Craig. We all watched him battle through a difficult health journey—one that required intense detoxification, deep nutritional (and spiritual) rebuilding, and yes… mountains of supplements. He was pretty open with you all during that time; however, not many saw how bad it actually got there for a minute. He tried everything. Every cabinet in our house was overtaken by supplement bottles. Watching him take glassfuls of pills everyday still haunts me, and I do not even want to know how much we spent on products that did not work. While we cannot put a price on our health, it sure seemed like the supplement companies had no problem putting a big, fat price tag on it!
Fast forward to now he was getting better—thriving actually— and I was quietly suffering. I knew I needed to detox too. It’s pretty obvious we all do. I’d struggled with gallbladder issues for years (thanks a lot, Chick-fil-A). My body needed help, and I knew it.
But the solution? It felt like the problem.
The Pill Fatigue Is Real
I’ve always hated taking pills. It doesn’t matter how good they are for me—I just can’t do it. The idea of 20+ capsules a day, labeled “morning,” “afternoon,” “bedtime,” made my skin crawl. The cabinet clutter threw my OCD into a spiral. The cost. The confusion. All of it felt so overwhelming. And don’t even get me started on those intense “detox weekends” he went through every month. I was over it before I ever started. I figured I eat a mostly clean diet and my health is “good enough”. How long will that last?
When I finally broke down and vented to my now-very-healthy husband, he responded with equal parts frustration and compassion:
“You’re not alone. So many of our patients say the same thing. They want to heal, but they don’t know where to start. They feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and broke.”
And that’s when we both realized: This isn’t just our problem—it’s everyone’s problem.
The Problem No One Talks About
Here’s what we kept hearing:
Which supplements do I actually need?
How much do I take—and for how long?
Where are these ingredients even sourced?
Why does it take so many pills to feel better?
Why does healing have to cost hundreds of dollars a month?
How do I help my whole family without breaking the bank?
We realized no one had really answered these questions—not in a way that made sense for the average family trying to heal. Everything felt disjointed, expensive, and overwhelming.
So we decided to build the solution ourselves.
OG Health+ Was Born
With a leap of faith, trusting that the Lord would guide me as He always has, I created OG Health+ to solve the problem we were living. To create powerful, research-based wellness formulas that:
Combine multiple therapeutic healing systems into a few powerful blends
Minimize the pill count (without sacrificing effectiveness) - no fillers or additives
Are affordable enough for families to use daily
Use ingredients we could trust, source, and explain- nothing artificial
Come with the guidance we wished we had from the beginning
The Result: OG Vitality — The answer for providing your body with everything you need, removing anything you don’t. I am not sure why other products give you such small doses of each supplement per serving (okay, I do know why), but OG Vitality is carefully formulated to maximize each individual nutrient, letting your body decide what to use, what to store, and what to flush out.
So what’s next? I wanted to answer this question: How can we maximize the liver & kidney detoxification process while minimizing the extreme format of the current detox protocol? I know there is no getting around the detoxification symptoms, but I don’t really have a free weekend to suffer every month. The answer to that is coming very soon!!
OG stands for Only God- the true source of our health. That’s what we’re chasing—not more pills or fads, not more chaos, not more debt. Just real, whole-body nutrition the way it was meant to be.
So if you’ve ever looked at your supplement cabinet and felt defeated… you’re not crazy. You’re not weak. You’re not alone.
You’re actually the reason we’re here.
3 John 1:2 says “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
God Bless,
Jennifer, OG Health+
