In this episode I discovered Sir Jason Winters Herbal Tea blend and the healing story behind these wonderful products. I had a great conversation with Ashley Winters, COO of the company.

Sir Jason Winters International, is a family-owned herbal wellness company with a rich legacy that has touched lives for over three decades. As the granddaughter of founder Sir Jason Winters and the daughter of Sir Raymond Winters, Ashley represents the next generation of leadership within the company.

Her grandfather, Sir Jason Winters, was given three months to live after a terminal cancer diagnosis in 1977. Rather than accepting that prognosis, he traveled the world in search of healing, combining three herbs into a blend he credited to his recovery. He went on to share his story with millions, earn international recognition including a knighthood, and build a company whose products have now been trusted for over 45 years across dozens of countries.

Ashley now leads product development, e-commerce, and international distribution while carrying forward her family’s legacy of quality, integrity, and natural wellness. As a mom and the next generation of family leadership, Ashley is passionate about helping others embrace wellness, balance, and the simple rituals, like a good cup of tea, that bring people together.

How can people protect their health when access to traditional preventive care feels out of reach?

In this episode, Karen Howard, Executive Director of the Organic & Natural Health Association and author of “Upset is Optional,” says prevention, nutrition, immune resilience, and responsible self-care can help fill the gap — without replacing medical care. Drawing on decades of health policy and consumer advocacy experience, she’ll share practical, evidence-based strategies to help Americans stay well, navigate the wellness marketplace safely, and make informed decisions during uncertain times.
Karen shares four practical, evidence-based strategies to help Americans navigate rising health care costs while protecting their long-term wellness:

• Smart Self-Care, Not Self-Diagnosis

Karen shares how nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress management can support overall health while recognizing when medical attention is necessary. The goal is to complement care, not substitute it.
• Choosing Supplements with Confidence
With more people turning to supplements and natural health products, knowing what to trust is essential. Karen discusses how to identify science-backed supplements, why third-party testing and quality manufacturing standards matter, and how to avoid misleading or exaggerated health claims. Education and transparency protect both health and wallets.
• Foundational Nutrients Many Americans Lack:
Nutrients such as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium are commonly low in American adults. Karen explains why these nutrients are foundational to immune function, inflammation balance, muscle and nerve health, and overall wellness — and how to test for nutrient deficiencies and how consistent, responsible use can support long-term health, particularly when preventive care access is limited.
• Trusting Organic and Non-GMO Supplements:
Organic is a federally defined standard that protects from the use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals in agriculture, focusing on the health of the soil. The Non-GMO standard, and its seal, is how consumers can be assured the product contains no GMOs (genetically modified organisms), like glyphosate, often present in processed foods. Karen explains what these labels mean and how to identify supplements that meet these standards.

Karen Howard is the CEO and Executive Director of Organic & Natural Health Association, leading the organization for consumer health advocacy since its inception in 2014. With four decades of experience in healthcare policy, government relations, and organizational leadership, she is a visionary in advancing healthcare initiatives. She is the author of "Upset is Optional: Say Goodbye to Unnecessary Suffering" (March 2024), focusing on strategies to manage stress and anxiety.
