Empowering Your Health Journey

I’m Barb Braun, founder of Vital Link Nutrition. My journey began at 29 when I was a busy mom of two, facing high blood pressure and weighing 288 pounds. Determined to take control of my health without relying on medication, I lost 124 pounds in one year and have maintained that for over 25 years. Now, as a certified nutrition coach, I’m passionate about helping others transform their lives through sustainable nutrition.
