OUR STORY
Nettye, the founder and owner of Wellness Applied, understands the pain and struggle of maintaining a healthy legacy. She grew up in a culture where unhealth was normalized. Chronic disease was so common, she thought getting hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, and taking multiple medications daily was like gray hair – natural and inevitable signs of aging. She didn’t see the poor health status until her father passed unexpectedly from underestimated chronic diseases when she was 17.
In her community, health was not fully understood, valued, expected or pursued. She spent years trying to improve her health, but misinformation and lack of direction simply made it worse. At age 30, she decided it was time to shift the cycle.
Nettye spent the next 10 years working for the nation’s largest weight loss company in corporate training and operations on regional and national levels.
In this work, she was struck by the decline of wellness in the nation and the alarming health disparities among African Americans. Thus, she was motivated to develop and deliver holistic programs and resources to effectively address these problems. Soon after, with the help of Culture of Health Leaders, Wellness Applied was born.
