About

Our story begins in the spring of 2016 when we opened our doors as Invigorating Waters located at 1084 Fond du Lac Avenue in Sheboygan Falls. At the time, we only offered our filtered/purified drinking water which was totally unlike tap water, well water, or bottled water in that our water is electrically charged. This process, known as electrolysis provides three unique properties to include: 1.) The production of negative ions to neutralize free-radicals, 2.) A significant boost in the pH to make the water more alkaline (think healthy), and 3.) The restructuring of the water molecules makes the water considerably more hydrating and satisfying. A free sample of our extraordinary, delicious water is available anytime.

In 2017 we added Green Tech air purification devices for homes, individual rooms, businesses, refrigerators, vehicles, sports bags (or lockers), and for personal use as a wearable. These devices purify the air you breathe with activated oxygen to kill mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and by eliminating odors from pets, cooking, and smoking. In addition, these devices generate negative ions to neutralize free radicals, revitalize cell metabolism, enhance immune function, purify the blood, and balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting deep sleep and healthy digestion.

In 2018 we began selling pharmacist-formulated CBD (cannabidiol) products. CBD is a chemical compound that is found naturally in plants like hemp; furthermore, it is not intoxicating and not addictive. In fact, CBD acts as a supplement to assist your innate Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to help create homeostasis (balance) throughout your body to regulate pain perception, anxiety/emotion, inflammation, sleep, metabolism, immune system, reproductive function, memory, movement, healing, and more. CBD can be ingested as a sublingual (liquid under your tongue), as a capsule, or as an edible (gummies). Topical CBD products are also available to help soothe aching muscles and joints and improve skin health. We also provide basic education and dosage recommendations for users.

In 2019 we introduced a unique daily nutritional supplement known as NücleoGenex that came to the U.S. from Eastern Europe. If you’ve been searching for the “Holy Grail” of an effective daily supplement, consider trusting your own DNA to instruct a unique, plant-based formulation to provide you with what your body actually needs, not what it doesn’t need. Because NücleoGenex  is based on your own DNA, it interacts with particular “actionable genes” that affect certain functions in your body such as blood pressure, immune function, oxidative support, healthy lipids, liver health, cardiovascular health, weight issues, free-radical defense, bone health, inflammation response, and digestive health. This “designer nutrition” is available in powder or capsule form and is delivered to your doorstep every month.

Late 2021 saw the emergence of our new business name to better reflect our expanded offerings of natural health related products. We are now known as Focus On Health NOW. In addition to our high-quality products, we offer information regarding nutrition and the benefits of intermittent fasting as a positive lifestyle choice. According to an October 2021 PubMed study, intermittent fasting may benefit cardiometabolic health by decreasing blood pressure, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels are also lowered, but findings are variable. Other health benefits, such as improved appetite regulation and favorable changes in the diversity of the gut microbiome, have also been demonstrated, but evidence for these effects is limited. Intermittent fasting is generally safe and does not result in energy level disturbances or increased disordered eating behaviors. In summary, intermittent fasting is a safe diet therapy that can produce clinically significant weight loss (>5%) and improve several markers of metabolic health in individuals with obesity.

 Tammie Gruenke – I was introduced to the water by my friend Brian after being sick for over four (4) months. The summer of 2013 I made a huge mistake by mixing chemical cleaning products and I “burned” my lungs. I could barely breathe, had phlegm in my lungs, and was tired all the time. At my yearly check-up (after three months of suffering), my doctor prescribed the first dose of antibiotics and she also noticed my thyroid gland was much enlarged. I have always been borderline for my thyroid being on the larger side, but this time she wanted to order tests to check for hypothyroidism. I told her I wanted to wait because I was getting married in less than a week and didn’t want to think about this and I didn’t want this on my health record (this occurred at a time when you could be turned away for pre-existing conditions). I did feel better after a week on antibiotics, but when I went on my honeymoon three (3) weeks later, all the troubles came back. I called my doctor and she prescribed a stronger antibiotic which did not help at all. I started to share my story with Brian and that I was ready to get the tests done on my thyroid. He advised me to go ahead and set up the appointment but asked if I would first try the water before going. I figured… what do I have to lose at this point? So he got me started immediately and brought over Kangen Water®, fresh every other day. Within a week I started feeling better, getting my energy back, and all the sinus issues were starting to dissipate. I ordered a machine after the one week trial! My machine arrived, via UPS, on Christmas Eve of 2013. I have been drinking the water ever since and all the sinus issues went away along with all the hypothyroid symptoms I was experiencing (tiredness, weight gain, brittle hair & nails, constant cold, and feeling “out of it”). All I did was try the water.

Kevin Hogan – Encouraged by Tammie to begin drinking the water that she was willing to share, I began drinking it, but due to my out-of-town work schedule, drinking it fresh on a regular basis was difficult. That changed upon my retirement in August of 2014. With fresh Kangen Water® now more available, I too began to feel the life-changing effects it provided and decided to invest in my own machine in the spring of 2015. Within several months, with improved energy and vigor, thoughts of un-retiring and opening a retail store to make this amazing water readily available to the public began to fill my head. For months, Tammie and I contemplated a business plan. That plan finally came together in January of 2016 with the promise of a remodeled storefront at 1084 Fond du Lac Avenue in Sheboygan Falls. By the middle of May, 2016 the remodel was completed and the doors of Invigorating Waters were officially open for business, and like missionaries, we were eager to spread the word about Kangen Water®.

Tracy Allee – I was introduced to Kangen Water® by my friend Tammie in 2014 after I was informed by my doctor that I had high blood pressure and he wanted to prescribe medication. I was about 6 months pregnant at the time. Being a concerned friend, Tammie shared Kangen Water® with me and after being on the water for about four weeks, my blood pressure regulated. I also noticed that I did not have swollen ankles and carpal tunnel syndrome like I did during my first pregnancy, which was due to being dehydrated. I ordered my Kangen Water® machine in April of 2015 and I’ll tell you it’s the best investment I’ve ever made!
