- What inspired you to open Wyn Nutrition? My biggest inspiration is my family. I am a single mother and help care for my 95-year-old grandmother. I knew I wanted to work in health & wellness while also having the flexibility to be there for my family. It also gives my family something to be a part of. My mother makes our protein donuts and my brothers help with a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff and products from Juice buff also help with this. Another big inspiration was the pandemic. Seeing how valuable our health is, I wanted to bring a healthy & convenient option to the community.
