About us
Cellementals Nutraceuticals, formulated and distributed by Esce Life LLC, sets the foundation for health revival with unique bioactive elements sourced for a sustained and synergistic effect. Cellemental nutrients are critical to cellular resilience yet are lacking in modern diets. There is no substitute for addressing foundational health.
Having been involved in the dietary supplement and health industry for a combined 40 years, something was missing in the supplement world, something we wanted for ourselves. Prioritizing ‘food first’, we set out to formulate a whole-foods based nutraceutical that provides a complete and balanced foundation of nutrients, the way nature intended and the way we evolved.
Instead of turbo charging cells with isolated and synthetic inputs, our focus is to enhance performance by decreasing the demand on cells for a sustained impact. We not only focus on unique and nutrient dense ingredients, but a combination of ingredients that act in synergy.
Nutrient density and quality is important – however, we have lost a palate for many of the foods that are rich in the elements we ate throughout our evolution. We wanted to create a nutraceutical to rectify this mismatch of how we live now and how we lived.

Fortunate to have grown up in a time when kids spent their days running wild through the neighborhood, being skinned kneed and grass stained was my norm.
This early resonance with being physical carried over into my adulthood and career path with a 40 year combined work history in the healthcare, wellness, and fitness sphere.
My professional roles include exercise physiologist, registered nurse, teacher, consultant, founder, speaker, coach, and program developer.
In all my years of experience, as well as in my personal life, I have come to appreciate that the path to leading a “best life” is to live an authentic one. Health-wise, this—for me—means striving for a life lived as nature intended. This natural resonance is foundational and without it the body is always trying to compensate.
Interestingly, I've often thought that living this way was more of a necessity for me than it was for others. It was when I discovered I am homozygous for the APOE4 allele—the “ancestral gene" (a.k.a. Alzheimer's gene)—that it made sense.
Living on a small homestead with my husband, I currently spend my free time doing tasks like foraging, rendering lard, making bone broth, and tending to our critters. I am still skinned kneed and grass stained!

I have over eight years’ experience as an executive in the health sciences field with a background in research. In my personal life I have seen first-hand how important holistic health and wellness is to achieving outcomes – there is no substitute for diet and lifestyle.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, an autoimmune disease, in 2011 and spent years trying to manage the disease naturally.
There was no silver bullet. No single miracle pill. It took years of persistent effort addressing my lifestyle and diet. I have been medication free for years and feel great – the effort was worth it!
