I spent more than ten years riding BMX professionally. Contests, filming trips, fast food, partying, and a body taking hits every week. Over time, that lifestyle caught up with me during a back injury, and it changed the way I thought about taking care of my health.
That experience led me into years of research: plant compounds, traditional herbal remedies, and the daily practices that people actually stick with. I started making things in my kitchen, beginning with teas and eventually tinctures, trying to create the kind of formula I personally wanted in my own routine.
Friends started asking what I was using. Then their friends. That's how Plants Basically was born in 2017: one formula, built from personal experience and made to the standard I'd expect for myself.
Today we work with naturopathic doctors and herbalists, and more than 120,000 people have trusted us with their health. That still blows my mind. But the principle hasn't changed: every ingredient has to earn its place.
To me, health is everything. Without it you have nothing. Staying active, staying present, and living in a way that's built for longevity. Juicy Joint is part of that routine for me, and I'm proud to share it with the world.
