Grow Healthy Vending Spotlights Thriving Operator Kelly Storm

Grow Healthy Vending sits down with one of Grow’s rising star operators Kelly Storm. Kelly and her husband Bret live in Dublin, CA and own and operate 11 Grow Machines in the Acalanes School district. Grow's CEO Chris Wyland commented on Storm's business stating, "Kelly is a great example of a healthy vending operator who has been empowered to run her business successfully by combining two main factors; Quality of equipment and superior locations as they are the two building blocks that are critical to success in the healthy vending industry. We are proud to partner together to continue our mission of fighting childhood obesity by placing machines in schools throughout North America such as the Acalanes School District." Here are Kelly’s candid responses to the who, what, when, why and where of running a successful healthy vending business.

Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how you decided to become a Grow Healthy Vending Operator.

A: Bret works as a Diagnostic Imaging Technologist for a local hospital and I work part time as a Dental Hygienist. I had been looking for a way to bring in extra income for our family that would not require me to go back to school. So I began to look at investment ideas and different business that could work well for our family. I wanted something we could do as a team. I came across the idea of healthy vending in an investment article. I got curious and started to do some investigating for fun. I had never thought of vending as a business or at least a business that was for me. I actually had only associated vending with junk food, soda, candy and cheap little toys that my kids constantly beg me for every time I pass by a vending machine.

Q: What was it about healthy vending that peaked your interest?

A: As I started to do some reading I came across the idea of healthy vending. I loved the idea! I would be so excited if I could walk up to a healthy vending machine and get a healthy snack. I had first written it off because I had read that there was no money in healthy vending, but then started talking to others in the business. A few months later my husband and I felt that we had enough information that we were willing to take on the investment risk to start our own business.

Q: Tell us about your relationship with Grow Healthy Vending?

A: I was drawn to Grow Healthy Vending because they were very supportive throughout the process and helped us navigate this new adventure with ease. The machines are beautiful and have the latest technology. We loved how Grow Healthy Vending is not a franchise. We wanted our own business without franchise fees and rules. Now 8 months later we have 11 Grow machines. All of our machines are located in a nearby school district. The Locations Team did a great job with our location procurement process and Grow Healthy Vending has been so fantastic and supportive throughout!

Q: How is your healthy vending business performing?

A: Now between our jobs, family and our healthy vending business we are extremely busy. Our business is new and thriving. We are busier than expected and our machines our producing better than we had hoped for. We plan on continuing to grow as well as hiring an employee to help us. We love our healthy vending business and are very happy we made this decision.

Q: What would you say to someone contemplating becoming a Grow Healthy Vending operator?

A: If you are contemplating a business in the healthy vending arena then Grow Healthy Vending is a fantastic choice. I did a lot of research and conducted my own due diligence and found Grow to have the highest machine quality, prices and fantastic training and great location procurement services. They really want you to be successful and do their best to help make your business start off strong.

NATURAL WAYS TO MANAGE THE FLU.

It’s inevitable. The flu or a simple cold. And there’s no cure. Some are mild and some are wild. So often what people do is pump themselves with over the counter drugs. And I get it, oh man that stuff is fast and seductive, finally relief.

I’m at the tail end right now and I stared at that night time cold pill I bought with heart eyes because it’s quick and easy. I do it every time. I waste money on it when I’m weak and NEVER take it. I look at the ingredients and wonder…why do adults or children for that matter need a dye in it for color? I don’t care what color it is, it’s not going to excite me that it’s colored. And children hate medicine anyway and are so mad they have to take it they would probably never notice if it were clear or not. Soy in it and 17 other things I can’t pronounce. I think of my poor weeping liver and how hard it will have to work to process everything, when it’s super power energies could be used to be healing my body. I do have to say in my opinion from just the liver standpoint alone, sometimes over the counter medications can actually increase the duration of the sickness.

I am going to offer you some natural alternatives to manage the flu, stay more comfortable and speed up the recovery. Although short term it takes more dedication, money, and time to execute, long term you are winning. You miss less work and spend less on medication, doctors appointments, and possible negative side effects from all the chemicals in them that too little care about because it’s so far off. But it’s real, and it’s happening in an alarming amount of people with chronic illness and cancers. We take them in the day to power through work or whatever it is, some of us crazies even take them to get a workout in, when we should be RESTING. “We know that heavy exertion causes a transient downturn in immune function that can last from a few hours to a day,” says Nieman, a professor of health and exercise science. “During heavy, prolonged physical exertion, he adds, stress hormone levels such as cortisol rise, causing immune cells to function less efficiently. During this downturn, if you have a virus, it will multiply at a higher rate and make you sick.”

Our bodies should be directing the energy it does have into fighting whatever has incepted us. Especially when you have a fever!! If your temp is up why would you raise it?! There’s a fine line though, once you are feeling better we know that moderate exercise BOOSTS the immune system. Get to know your body and when you’re well enough to ease back in. I’m really bad at resting even though I know all of this. Last time I got sick and this time around I actually am doing it, resting and boy what a game changer LOL. I’m going to bullet a few things that hopefully persuade you to take care of your incredibly amazing body in a more mindful way. I stayed comfortable and put other band aids on in a different way than OTC drugs. Always check with your doctor and use your own judgement. This is just one woman’s journey, works for me.

SO HERE ARE A FEW NATURAL WAYS TO MANAGE THE FLU. Cocktails and Shots!!! Yay!! – Preventing, easing symptoms, and shortening duration No you don’t get to drink whiskey like the old remedies back in the day. There are so many different kinds of concoctions for different symptoms but I call this my one stop shop. I make it but you can buy something similar at any juice shop. I make a bulk batch, save in a big jar and do a shot glass full three times a day at FIRST signs and during. It lasts three days. Toss after if you haven’t finished, but do! Shake the jar before you pour a new shot. Mix these all together.

1 cup raw apple cider vinegar Good for coughs, sore throat,congestion,probiotics(only if raw), allergies, lack of energy

1 cup lemon juice Blood purifier, detoxifies liver, kidneys, vitamin C, fights infection

2-3 large nobs crushed ginger(squeeze out juice) Kills bacteria, eases throat pain and inflammation,combats fever and chills, cleanses blood, eases pain, helps congestion.

3 crushed cloves of garlic(squeeze out juice) Fights infection,viruses, parasites,fungi, bacteria, and yeast. Increases circulation, strengthens white blood cells, and boosts immunity.

2 tsp horseradish Clears your nose,lower blood pressure, alleviate respiratory conditions,anti cancer affects by helping process carcinogens,relieves sinus discomfort,..this perennial plant deserves its own post…stay tuned

10 drops of oil of oregano (not oregano oil) Early cold and sore throat defense, antibacterial, antiviral,anti fungal, relieves sinus discomfort

1 tsp cayenne Treats fever,poor circulation, digestive complaints like bloating and nausea, inflammation, sore throat,headaches, and is a great expectorant.

2 tsp turmeric Attacks bacterial infection and virus especially respiratory,relieves pain, anti- inflammatory, relieves water retention

1 tsp Himalayan salt Balances PH, improves hydration with trace minerals reducing muscle cramps, improves mineral status in the body, helps balance blood sugar, balances hormones, acts as an antihistamine

For headache, body aches, sleeplessness Water water water for headaches! Essential oils like lavender and peppermint can aid in relieving headaches, releasing sinus pressure, relaxing you and helping you sleep. You can diffuse it in the air or rub on your temples and under your nose. Warm (not hot) baths,DIY head massage and massage in general can help with headache, body aches and sleeping. I recommend Yoga Tuneup balls for self massage. Cucumbers on your eyes can help headaches too. I also soothe myself into slumber with chamomile tea, also great on a sore throats. Meditation works wonders for me, I YouTube guided mediation. And when it gets really difficult to sleep I will use melatonin. Out like a light.

So I’m taking a bath, cucumbers on my eyes, peppermint under my nose, and lavender on my temples. After I’m nice and relaxed from the bath, I make a tea, take half a melatonin dose and self massage on my yoga mat, listening to my mediation. I’m lucky if I make it to the bed. I managed to completely get through the flu with no OTC drugs, and actually come out more rejuvenated than ever on the other side.
