S2E3: Andy Hnilo | Founder of Alitura | Accident to an Accidental Entrepreneur

The Fit and Fabulous Podcast

On today's episode of the Fit and Fabulous Podcast, Dr. Jaime interviews Alitura Founder and CEO, Andy Hnilo.
"I woke up in a hospital bed on the night of March 20th, 2011. I had been struck by a series of large vehicles while crossing a busy street. I had a collapsed lung, seven broken ribs and a severe compound fracture of my jaw, which was broken in five places. Out of desperation to repair my own facial scarring, I began making my own natural skincare products at home.

I recognized that I had the power to choose how this would impact my future and accepted that I would have to pave my own path towards rebuilding both my body and my spirit. I was determined to recover and come back even stronger, attacking my injuries both from the inside and outside.

Our nutrition-first approach amplifies our natural ability to repair and restore. Through meticulous research, I carefully sourced active ingredients that would accelerate my skin's healing process, using myself as my biggest science experiment. I was back on a runway in 8 weeks.

Staying true to my own values, our customers can feel assured that Alitura is committed to using only the cleanest all-natural ingredients in our products. I am proud and excited to share our products with you."
