ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Neuropathy helped naturally

The screaming pain of neuropathy can be life altering, and the milder annoying tingling, burning, and numbness of it can alter quality of life as well. We trust our limbs to be healthy and cooperate with our daily activities. Some people describe it as feeling like they have a piece of leather between their foot and the floor while barefoot. The loss of sensation can cause loss of balance, weakness, lack of coordination and muscle wasting, making it challenging to walk, stand or use the hands for fine motor skills, frequently dropping things.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Natural talent

Many of you have met one of our most talented and hard-working distributor sales people, Kevin Olsonberg. We work with him a lot so naturally he is at many of our winemaker dinners and tastings with the wineries he represents. Many of you also know that he is a talented musician, a rock and roll and country music drummer. Kevin was nominated for a regional Grammy Award not long ago. With his passion and background, we often talk music, all kinds of music. Kevin “grew up” if you will, emulating many of the great jazz drummers, and given the choice I suspect would love to be drumming with a jazz group.
