Thank you for visiting my Wildtree website! My name is Katy Flynn-Wisch and I'm a busy mom of 3 young girls. About six or seven years ago, I discovered that my oldest daughter (then 5) was strongly affected by artificial colors, flavors and a few petroleum based preservatives. She had a variety of reactions to these additives, including hyperactivity, sporatic angry rages, eczema and pure naughtiness! Once we took these additives out of her diet, my difficult preschooler became a sweet, thoughtful and loving little girl. I knew she was in there somewhere! It was just hard to see that side of her when she was under the influence of these nasty food additives. Not only did cleaning up our diet have a drastic affect on my daughter - but my husband and I noticed differences in our health as well. No more migraines, my joint pain was greatly reduced, less irritability - it was as if we were taking some type of wonder drug! Ironically, we were not taking any drugs at all - just *removing* the chemicals from our systems, and eating REAL foods.
Over the years, I have been very involved in the organization that helped me to discover her sensitivities. The Feingold Association (see www.feingold.org for more info.) has taught me many things, but most importantly it taught me that we cannot rely on our government to ensure that the foods we are eating are safe for consumption. We have to educate ourselves and find products that are free of the additives that have already been proven to have horrendous effects on our health, behavior, learning and quality of life.
In my quest to find healthier foods for my family, I found Wildtree. After attending a tasting party, I was so impressed with what Wildtree had to offer that I hosted a party of my own - and then joined the Wildtree Family as a representative. I only wish I had known about Wildtree 7 years ago when we started eating healthier. Wildtree products make it so much easier to prepare additive free meals- and often in 20 minutes or less. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to teach others about the importance of an additive free diet and how they can make following such a diet, easy, affordable and delicious!
