Get to Know Cortney Kern
Hi, I'm Cortney! My husband and I live in Denver, Colorado where the sunshine makes every day brighter than the next. I love how living Colorado brings you closer to nature and encourages you to get outdoors. I am a Peace Corp veteran (2 years in Morocco), I support women's leadership and rights (I've served on the Colorado Women's Lobby), spend my free time taking gardening classes at the Denver Botanic Gardens and love experimenting with Paleo recipes.
As someone who suffers from Psoriatic arthritis, minimizing my body's inflammation is very important to me. As a result, most of my nutritional articles are founded on the positive effects of limiting intake of dairy, grains, legumes and sugars and increasing intake of vegetables and protein in various forms. Shaklee completes my nutritional program by ensuring my body has all the nutrients it needs. I am so passionate about Shaklee and what it has done for me and my family that I am excited to have started my Shaklee business in to share the powerful effects of health and be able to live the lifestyle I have dreamed of. The great thing about Shaklee is I work with people locally in Colorado and across the country. Want to chat? Tell me your story.
