Nutrition of the Hive | Cindy Freeling, Nutritionist | Tuesday, June 23
After leaving the entertainment business in California, Cindy turned to the nutritional and supplement business in Los Angeles where she took over managing a Great Earth Vitamin store, which at the time was the largest vitamin supplement company in America. Because of her success in making the store more profitable than in the past, the franchise owner asked her to get rid of Great Earth vitamins and become a general vitamin store, so no franchise fees would have to be paid. Again, she made that change into a very profitable business. Great Earth corporate wooed her back by creating a corporate position for her. That entailed her being the corporate trainer, often traveling to stores around the country, researching and writing educational literature as part of the two person education department, and teaching health and nutrition along with how to open a store from beginning to end in their corporate store training center, which every new franchise owner and employee were required to attend. After moving back to Dallas,Cindywas invited to be a weekly guest on a radio broadcast as a nutrition expert. That led to her own show, Alternative Health Talk withCindyFreeling, using her own knowledge and research skills while also interviewing experts and leaders from around the country on topics important to the health of our bodies, our pets, and our environment. An advocate for non-GMO farming, Cindy helped organize and was the spokesperson for two March against Monsantos in Dallas, part of an international network of marches.
