It's Not Just a Phrase to us, It's Our Passion!
Hi, I am Elva, Owner of Mountain Life Health Food Store. For those who are interested, here is a little bit about me....
I was raised eating the standard diet that most folks eat: not very many fruits and vegetables, quite a bit of meat and milk, lots of sweets, way too much soda pop, lots of coffee, plenty of processed foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As I became older, I consumed more and more unhealthy processed foods and also my fair share of alcohol. Combined with chemical exposures at my jobs, I wound up exhausted with a case of multiple chemical sensitivity, and a whole host of health conditions.
I became so sick that I could not longer work, and it was during the time that I was home that I began to learn about the amazing health benefits that can come to one that eats well, drinks plenty of water and takes supplements to help support health. I have recovered my health and am pleased to own a health food store!
Because I learned that I had been unaware of very basic concepts of wellness, diet and use of vitamins and other supplements to enhance health, I am passionate to help others examine their lifestyle and decide for themselves what steps they would like to take to live a wellness lifestyle. Wellness is defined differently by each person, and I encourage you to be proactive in examining the options available to you. I hope you will stop by our store. We would love the opportunity to earn your business. We are a growing store and value your ideas and suggestions.
Take a quick video walk-through of the store, then come visit us in-person at 978 South Main Street in Downtown Ellijay.
Our Goal Is For Our Store to:
- Operate in an eco-friendly manner.
- Find products that are sourced locally or regionally when available or practical.
- Encourage our customers to first and foremost EAT WELL; it is so clear to us that many health benefits accrue when we make proper dietary choices!
- Serve as a "hub" to connect health conscious and environmentally conscious people.
- Operate a mindset of service, we are here to serve and help!
