Most people find one passion and stick to it, but Balance of Nature customer Michael R. decided to paint, sculpt, teach, nurture a garden, and invite thousands of bees to the party. In addition to his busy lifestyle, Michael has been taking Balance of Nature supplements for the past two years.

Life of an Artistic, Busy Bee

Michael likes to keep busy and his days are anything but slow. 

“I’m usually up around 7:00 and I go to bed around midnight. I play with my dogs, I garden, and I take care of my yard,” he describes.

That busy schedule is shaped largely by Michael’s creative work. Art plays a major role in Michael’s life, both creatively and professionally. 

“I like doing portraits and capturing people in a more natural state,” he shares. “I also sculpt a lot, especially pieces inspired by Greek mythology. I’ve always found those stories fascinating. Everything I do has some kind of narrative behind it. That’s the appeal of art for me.”

That same love of storytelling is what led Michael to teaching. Sharing his passion for art with kids gives him a new perspective on creativity and inspires him. One of Michael’s favorite parts of teaching art is seeing how his students grow, how they experience art, and how they express themselves.“ I watch them go from drawing stick figures, to being real artists who draw portraits and paint and sculpt.”

Outside of teaching and creating, beekeeping takes up much of Michael’s time, and his heart.

“Beekeeping can be a little hard, but it’s a lot of fun too. You get the benefit of having honey at your disposal any time you like. And, it’s also beneficial for the world because it helps keep the plants pollinated. If we don’t have the bees, no one else can do that job.”

That relationship with bees extends directly into his garden. The bees help his plants thrive, and their honey is an added bonus!

Michael’s garden is a special place. He loves walking through his yard and enjoying all the delicious home-grown produce: blueberries, blackberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The bees make it possible for him to enjoy all of his favorite fruits and vegetables—right from his backyard! That appreciation for whole, natural foods connects directly to why Michael values Balance of Nature supplements. “In the same way, Balance of Nature makes it easier for me to get more variety of those ingredients of fruits and vegetables,” he says.

Why Michael Stays with Balance of Nature Supplements 

Michael wanted a realistic way to get more variety of ingredients of whole fruits and vegetables into his routine—especially with how active he is. He hikes and camps often, sometimes covering as many as 30 miles in a single hike! He needed something as convenient as his garden, but accessible anytime.  

After seeing the commercials regularly, he decided to try Balance of Nature supplements as an easy addition to his hike prep.

He has continued to order them because of the colorful variety of 47 ingredients of whole foods they provide. “I know I don’t get all that stuff every day,” he says. “The Fruits & Veggies supplements actually taste like ingredients of fruits and vegetables, and you can smell the vibrant mix of ingredients.”
