Welcome to the Down To Earth podcast. In this episode, you will be introduced to your hosts, Jonathan and Laurena Patarkatsi. Jonathan and Laurena are siblings that have always been extremely passionate about health and wellness. Both Jonathan and Laurena are in the wellness industry. Jonathan is the founder and CEO of Down To Earth, a New York based functional beverage brand. Laurena is the COO of Down To Earth, and is currently in Naturopathic Medical School. Bothered by the amount of misinformation regarding health and wellness in society, Jonathan and Laurena were motivated to create this podcast so that they can create an open and unbiased forum for conversation and discussion on how to best take care of your health. This episode will give you an introduction on our goals and mission for this podcast, and a glimpse of what to expect in our coming episodes. Cheers to Good Health!!
