My Story

Hi! My name is Olivia. I often go by Liv. Welcome to my passion - bringing education, empowerment, and my favorite creations to you.

 

Living a balanced lifestyle has always been a high importance of mine. My experience extends back to becoming a Registered Nurse and stepping straight into critical care. From the get go, I had questions.  I found out I was pregnant with my son a week before beginning semester 3/4 in nursing school. I was entering my Obstetrics rotation newly pregnant.

 

The experiences there fueled my decision to have my children outside of the hospital. My husband at first thought I was joking - wanting to have a child outside of a hospital?! “What if there is an emergency!?” I agreed, as I was unsure as well, but I was growing to question the medical industry entirely. We went to our consultation and never looked back.

​

I began to critically think and ask questions throughout my first pregnancy. Reviewing standards for immunization recommendations, beginning to read books such as The Vaccine Friendly Plan, by Jennifer Margulis and Paul Thomas and The Vaccine Book by Robert W Sears, MD. I made decisions for myself and my child early on that were completely against my innate gut instinct. As my body screamed "NO", society said "YES". I continued to do my own research, taking on the heat from my own friends and family, let alone my husband who had never heard of the things I was coming to find out. The more I dug, the more my eyes and mind opened, and so did those of my loved ones around me.

 

After 2 years in critical care I began working in the realm of a GI clinic on the side where I later launched their infusion program using drugs like Remicade. Something just didn't sit right. I recognized the wheelhouse of procedures, the use of drugs to suppress the immune system, and the lack of knowledge to offer real healing of the gut. From biopsies to routine procedures for things like acid reflux and diarrhea, prescriptions stacked rather than diving into lifestyle and diets to heal.. I started realizing something didn't make sense. Where was the knowledge of healing the gut, diving in to the depths of the body with minimal intervention? Instead I realized the routine for insurance billing amongst specialists and anesthesiologists and realized the revolving door outpatient was the same as inpatient. 

​

I went to a seminar discussing the Gut – Mind connection. Here I further understood how the pieces were all coming together - another interaction to recognizing the capabilities of the human body. One so powerful and strong in determining our longevity of life. I knew it was a mission to learn, educate, and empower others to know their strength and understand how to carry out self-health management. The kind that a system built for profit cannot profit off of nearly as much.

​

Towards the end of 2024, my midwives whom I had delivered my children with, mentioned launching vitamin IV infusion and injection services to their business! I was ecstatic and eager to join! I spent some time offering IM and IV infusion services and fell in love. 

​

I have always made juice shots, cleanses, homemade food and remedies. An unexpected shift in our personal life resulted in my curiosities to flourish – gardening, painting, learning. I began imploring my curiosities of herbs and plants leading me to further realization and reflection. I began reflecting more on God - how everything here exists with a purpose,  receptors in our bodies align, and all man made medication derives back to a natural source.

​

Working critical care for over 3 years, experiencing a system of corruption with my hands tied to doctors orders and drug dealing, I had begun to feel lost. I became a nurse to help and heal. After becoming one, I realized working in an industry run by greed at the expense of human life is not the realm I desire to be tied too. As these feelings of dissatisfaction and sadness in not knowing who or where I was meant to serve, the creation of Livin 80.20 felt like a breath of fresh air.

 

My life all feeling as if it is falling into place - Leading me to finding exactly the way I am meant to serve the people. In a way that brings real healing, knowledge, and wellness.

 

The start I would say stems back to realizing the dangers of some of our most common medications  – Omeprazole – never studied for long term use and directly linked to further complications, Alzheimer’s, etc. So, I did my research, leading to the infamous creation of the acid reflux capsules for my husband. A few months later, a dear friends family was sick, I brought my cherry cough syrup over and she posted a thank you! That night, Livin 80.20 was born.

​

Since then, I have taken the deep dive into holistic wellness and functional medicine. Realizing I could use my experiences of the worst of healthcare in conjunction with my growing knowledge of herbal medicine and holistic healing, I have found where my life's mission exists. Bridging the gap of healing, nature, and true knowledge thus empowering you to live your best life and feel your absolute best. And all with the 80/20 lifestyle in mind. Because lets face it, life is about conscientious moderation.
