As most of our readers will know, Janice Buckler is a columnist with a monthly article on “Holistic Health” in Spotlight on Business Magazine. But did you also know that Buckler was the founder of Natural Legends Nutritional Consulting which is based in the small rural town of Tatamagouche, NS, Canada and an ambassador for the holistic health movement. We thought that it would be interesting to learn of her journey to find out more about her as the entrepreneur and that she founded her company and is so passionate about sharing her story and message with those looking to living healthier and happier lifestyles all across Canada and the United States.
By Jordan Parker W hen it came to the daily, pounding head- aches Buckler felt defeated. Despite numerous methods and hopes for a cure, the pain continued. She didn’t know what to do, until a holistic healer found her a permanent solution. “Many years ago, I had headaches everyday to the point it made me sick to my stomach and I was living on Tylenol. It got to the point where it didn’t do anything,” she said. “I had blood work done to check my hormone levels, I had my eyes tested, and had a CT scan done. The results all came back “normal.” It wasn’t until a friend referred me to a natural practitioner, who had similar equipment to what I have now, that I finally found relief. It was she who deter- mined I had a sensitivity to the proteins in cow’s milk. I stopped drinking it and I was immediately pain-free.” That changed Buckler’s perspective on conven- tional medicine and got her thinking about another route, which would eventually lead her to her own business: Natural Legends Nutritional Consulting. “I became very much drawn to natural methods for healthcare. I acquired my BSc in chemistry because I was always interested in food chemistry, and these things all fit together,” she said. She graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2001, and she’s had the name “Natural Legends Nutritional Consulting” regis- tered for years. “There was a time I didn’t feel ready to go out on my own, but now it feels so good to be my own boss,” she said.
