Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Ruffin, Jr.
Chris, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I have Sickle Cell Disease and in 2023 I had a lot of complications leading to several hospital visits and trips to the emergency room. At the beginning of 2024, my wife and I decided we would try to take on new habits, which included not drinking alcohol, doing away with eating beef, chicken and pork and cutting down on sugar and processed foods. In order to support those new habits my brother bought me a juicer for my birthday and I started making my own juice for my family.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has been a smooth road with juicing. I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback from family and friends. People have told me they started juicing from seeing me juice on my social media pages. The biggest struggle is figuring out what type of juice I want to make for the week haha.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I juice fruits and vegetables and sell to people. I specialize in creating recipes for people who don’t know what combinations to make when juicing. My recipes can help with anything from boosting energy, fighting off sickness to helping your metabolism.
I’m proud of all of the people who saw me juicing and went out and started juicing themselves. That’s what it is all about. Helping every person I come across prioritize their health.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
The person that deserves the most credit is my wife, Shay. She not only helps me with my content that I post to my social media pages, but she’s also my taste tester, which she essentially lets me know if a juice is good or not so good. I appreciate her because she also creates space for me to do my thing and help other people become healthier. She’s my number one fan and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
