Hello world, welcome to WFHR's Rapid Support for this August 13th, 2025.
Have your host James here.
We're going to thank our friends over at Crock Accepted, sponsoring this hour and giving
us a chance to talk to people like our good friends, family really, family natural foods
joining us right now.
Steve and Katrina Hintner.
Hey guys, how you doing?
Great.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for being here.
Appreciate the time.
I always appreciate the work that you guys put into the community and open up to the community.
I want to thank you personally for sponsoring, being a co-sponsor on playmakers and helping
us promote sports in this area and the tie-in of our local athletes and their health and
bringing those worlds together.
We really appreciate that and appreciate hanging out with you and talking about some fun
topics here and wherever we go with live radio, of course.
Oh yeah.
Where are we going to go?
Where are we going to start?
Where are we going to start?
Where are we going to start?
That's the boss.
Oh, who knows?
Somebody's supposed to be driving.
That's right.
Okay, I'll drive for a little while.
Sure, it's like a magic school bus with James Lawson.
Absolutely.
It's one of his previous times.
Are we going back to that again?
I think that you guys just stopped laughing last time.
I guess it's me driving the magic school bus because I'm going to lead us on this one for
a little while.
Yeah, that's right.
Actually, Miss Frizzle...
She didn't actually drive it.
Right.
She was...
She was like an educator who was on the bus, like, curating the experience.
Right.
Somebody was driving that bus.
I got to go back and watch it episode.
The lizard, I don't know.
Maybe?
Yeah, maybe.
No presentations coming up since I'm going to drive this bus right now for a little while.
So we're going to talk about the herb walk, which is happening in September, which I'm
sorry, but September is coming up soon, everyone, good or bad, cool.
But September 16th at 430, this is an herb walk that's going to be primarily Jamie and
Stephen are doing this one.
I think so.
Yeah, it'll be fun.
It's going to be great.
We did it last year.
We had a good turnout.
And we just had fun.
We're doing a different time of year.
So it'll be different herbs.
Jamie said something that was kind of profound to me.
She said, in summer, I forget if it was a certain month, but let's just say it was summer.
Every day, there's a different flower that blooms, and I was like, that's pretty cool.
And a lot of these are medicinal.
In fact, just this last weekend, Jamie was picking St. John's Whart flowers, the blossom
of the flowers, and she was putting an oil to do an extraction.
And we sell a St. John's Whart oil at our store.
It's wonderful.
Great for sore muscles.
Yeah, pain, neuropathy kind of thing.
It also has some kind of like antiviral things, so like, I don't know, like shingles, something
like that.
It's something I would reach for this, this, you know, really traditional thing.
The color is beautiful.
The color is beautiful.
That's what I was trying to get.
It's like bright red.
Yeah.
You know?
It's just this gorgeous red tone.
It has like a little bit of like a bluish, like purplish tinge in there, but like mostly
this red tone.
And like, she just sent a picture.
I'm sure in person, it was even more, you know, vibrant.
But that's a flower that she literally picked in her backyard.
Probably most people mow it with their lawn mower, you know, I don't know if it's exactly
a weed, but it's in that category.
But she's, yeah, to some, perhaps, but you know, that's what we're going to get into at
Lake Wazeech as walking around, just seeing these things that we've walked past our whole
life, perhaps maybe stepped on a few times, and what they, what they could be beneficial
for.
It's all around us.
Yeah.
That's going to be September 16th at 4.30, and it's going to be at Lake Wazeech
or Red Sands, meet at the pavilion.
Bring your kids to.
So yesterday, I'm on a bike ride with my six-year-old, and I'm like, oh, do you see those?
Do you see that jewelweed growing over there?
We're biking, and she's like, you know what that means.
I go, what does that mean?
She goes, Poison Ivy's near.
Because Poison Ivy and Jewelry'd have a really close relationship, but I just loved
that my six-year-old was like putting two and two together.
That's right.
Because Poison Ivy, so Jewelweed helps with the itch of Poison Ivy, so they often
grow in close proximity because they can heal as well as make you go crazy and itch.
Wow.
It's going to go a while.
Mother Nature provides the remedy for the problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So bring your kids because they can learn something, and I think they have fun, right?
It's outside worst case.
They can go play at the playground and enjoy that.
That's true.
It's going to be a nice day in September, hopefully.
Yeah, maybe it'll be nice to bring your swimsuits.
Who knows?
I know for me, I've always admired a lot of the kids at
a group around here that could look at a plant and knew what it was, and just point
and know what it is, or just the same thing with trees, and being able to identify those
or anything.
Even something like that to be able to add to your brain and all that is fun.
Along with nowadays, so many people are looking for ways to make their own things, or whatever
that might be.
A lot of that is already here given to us by the Earth.
Yeah, and that's something we'll talk about is like, hey, here's plantain.
Here's how it's growing, or where it's growing, how to identify it.
But this is what I would do with plantain.
This is what I would use it for.
Yeah, Jamie wanted to get into some of that, not only a different season, different plants
this time than last time.
She wanted to give people a next step layout, and so that'll be fun, too, it'll be interesting
to see where that goes with the project, too.
Yeah, so September 16th at 4.30, Red Sand's Beach, come and learn, maybe wear some
bug spray.
Mark your calendars.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
And then just add it to your calendar as well.
It's our 79th anniversary sale.
It's October 3rd and 4th, so we'll be celebrating.
We'll be giving lots of sales.
Lots of door prizes will happen.
Fun.
Usually there's tastings of some sort.
We'll get into the nitty-gritty details, but just put on your calendar.
It's the first Friday and Saturday of October 3rd and 4th.
Nobody does anniversary sales like you guys.
You definitely want to mark those down, everybody, because those are coming up right around
the corner.
You did, then you realize.
Not ready for yet.
No.
No.
No.
And we're not that ready for back to school, maybe, but we've got to get ready.
We do have to get ready for back to school, and with that, there's some back to school sales
that are happening, as well as some other ones that we may highlight, like some of our favorites
of it.
And before we dive back to school, we're putting up like a summer sale table of just different
things that are worth checking out.
So kind of come in for that, as well as check out our sale board that has all sorts of
different things, including back to sale for school kids and adults for certain things
going back.
Usually we do a lot of the kids stuff two months, because we do it this month in preparation,
right?
But then we also do it next month in, okay, my kids in school, and oh, I didn't realize
they had an issue with focusing.
And so we try to do it for this two months, because there's that-
People chance to do it both ways, because there's always going to be something that pops
up that you didn't prepare or realize.
Just going back to the summer sale, I always enjoy looking through these, I'm probably
in like the first person excited to kind of dig through this, because it's kind of
sale things that were like maybe like discontinuing or we overstocked on or whatever it is.
But they're obviously, they're usually a very deep sale, and you sometimes look at it
and you find something you didn't realize you could use.
You read this out of the bottle and you're like, oh, actually, this would be handy to
have around the house, or I'm going to try taking this and see if I get more energy
or something from it.
It's just kind of a fun, it's a fun kind of thing.
It's sort of like if you go to TJ Maxx and you're like, I went in there, you can't really
go to TJ Maxx saying you're going to go for like a very specific thing, but you go there
kind of looking to see what's around.
Yes.
There's a little TJ Maxx happening, probably just for like the next couple of weeks here
at my family, naturally.
TJ Maxx.
Is that how you're selling it?
That's it.
I mean, it is kind of like that, right?
You know, when you're talking about especially items that you've been on the fence one
to try, or you've been thinking about it and you've been chewing on it and all this,
and now it's finally in front of you, and it's discounted, and you're like, oh, that's
a good place to try.
It's a good time to try.
That is like me close shopping 101, man.
I thought you would have been following me around when I'm in TJ Maxx, and you nailed
that so well.
Yeah.
It was, we thought it was a reach at first, but you got there.
You got there right away, and then you were right on with that.
Yeah, you're willing to take more risks on it, too.
So, my...
Yeah.
I also, I appreciate when we're talking about back to school something that you guys have
done for a long time as well as, yes, we focus on the kids and we want the kids to be
ready and all that, but the parents are also a big part of this and making sure that
they're setting ready to go with whatever they might need.
Absolutely.
So, maybe you're a parent that's in school as well, so you're going back to school for
another degree, or maybe just classes that you have to do for a six-week course, so
you might have more stress anxiety, stress about that, or maybe you're a teacher, and
you're around the peachy dish of sickness all the time, so there's that component as well,
or your rhythm was different in summer, and now you get back to that summer or that
fall feel, and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm way more stressed because I have to get
this and that, and my kids newly into school, or this is our fifth year of school, and
I just, you know, we get more stress because now there's more time constrictions, right?
We have to drop off by a certain point.
We have to pick up by a certain point.
Oh, and then my kids in five other sports that you're running all around, so in summer,
usually there's less of that, there's a little less time restrictions, so I think, you
know, for anybody, kids or adults, I think if you're stressed, angiocalm is a great place
to go, this is a Terry product, love, love, love it, kids as young as four, and then up
can take it, and pets even, and pets even as well, and so it's great, so maybe those pets
are feeling your energy, and they're like, they're stressed out for your back to school
time too.
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's a great, well, we don't have a man and think about the pets, that's
a good point.
They pick up that energy too.
One percent, especially dogs, yeah.
Dogs are very interested in that.
Dogs can pick up on it, they just won't care, they don't joke, I'm joking, but they
care, they care, they care scared, they just don't show it as much, they don't show it
the same way.
We've also got stuff like Regin scenes on sale right now, which is a really amazing product
from Terry Natural, money back here in tea, just like the angiocalm, you know, for stress
and anxiety, you can try it, no risk, money back here in tea, but the Regin scene energy,
we saw a ton of this in the summertime, I'm always amazed by that, like we sell it
year round really well, but in the summer, people just want to do more, and the days are
longer, there's more to do, and now going into the school year, you're probably finding
yourself like, I could use a little more energy, so Regin scenes on sale, we've got a lot
of brain supplements like adult ones that are on sale, so if you need to like focus, just
to like get your day to day stuff done, or you want to, you know, or if you're going
back to school or learning something new, these are great, there's also these focus
bites.
Yeah, there's these new focus bites, which I just tried for the first time, because one
of our staff members has been trying it and really loves them, just focusing in, yeah,
it's called focus bites, it's by natural staffs, thank you Stephen, and this one they
suggest that it's 19 and up versus like a younger, even though it's chewable, but it's got
some really interesting, it's got this something called para-thining, and it's, it's like
a derivative of caffeine, but it's going to make you focus, it's not going to make
you jittery, excited, and so on, but it helps you with the focus part of it, and I tried
it, I really did find, I only did one, and you could take one to two, and I really did
find myself was like so much more focused in that, yeah, I was way more locked in.
So this was, this is a cool one that's new for us and new to the company too, it's only
been around for a couple of months.
These kids have trouble with focus, most adults have trouble with focus, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so this is a great answer, we had a hard time trying to figure out what we were going
to talk about on radio, we should have just been like take a couple of videos, and the
ingredient that's in the focus bite is also in our pre-workout, and it, you know, has
benefits for athletes, or just people want to get a little more out of their workout,
that's pre-workout has really great ingredients also on sale this month, but all clinically
studied ingredients, that's what that focus bite is, it's a well researched ingredient
for, for creating focus and optimizing, in this case, your workout, so you can check
those out too if you want to, you know, use it in a little different way.
Yeah, and like maybe this one, maybe you have a son that's in like high school football,
like this could be a great pre-workout formula to take just to get more out of it, as well
as that like sustained energy and focus, like it's a double, like it can help with so
many different things.
When I was in football, my dad would make these concoctions for me and my buddy, and it's
a lot better than that, I care to you, I care to you, it's a lot, it tastes a lot better
too, I probably, yeah, go there.
He was on it though, I'm sure, he was like try this, he was trying, you watch Rocky too
many times, that's a lot of problems, some raw eggs, it's exactly, chasing a chicken,
I'm like yeah, one thing I wanted to say about neural products, I've used those before,
and one of the things that first brought me to them was something on their label about
results right away, I don't know if they still have that on there or not or anything,
but that was something that I, I just made me think of when it comes to products like
that, for me in my experience, more times than not, if not every time, I really do feel
a result more quickly, I know for some people that one of the things that we can lose, people
unsupplements sometimes is, oh, I didn't feel anything, I took it a month and I didn't
feel anything, and I think that there needs, that needs to be brought into the conversation
much more of, hey, this takes time for it to work, as much as when it can work right
away, just that, that benefit for people and knowing that a little bit, and sometimes
it's a patient's game and sometimes you're going to be able to feel a result real quick.
Yeah, absolutely, do you, do you make a good point?
I think most of what we've talked about today is stuff you'd notice the first time you
check it out.
You would notice pretty quickly, yeah, like the neurofuel is another like memory and focus,
you know, to help kind of bring that attention in, but yeah, I agree, all of these are really
pretty, pretty, pretty quick results for the, for all of them.
Terry makes a nice product called Calm Kids, so if your child needs a little bit more help
with mood, concentration, this is a great product, we have one in our private labels, that
is very good too, that's also like a focus and like, kind of like helping with, if you're
are, you know, maybe a little bit more ADD, ADD or ADHD, that one is very beneficial, we
sell a lot of that one, yeah, the focus ones are good, I also like to just put a little
reminder out there, like things that are also great for our brain health and memory as
well as fish whales, because we don't get enough in our diet, so we need to consume it
through either supplement or eating, I don't get enough fish, so I take it in a cell
supplement form, and so kids, they need it, it's really good for their brain as they're
growing, developing, sitting at school for a lot of hours, really concentrating on all
this education, so it's a really good one to have, and then let's just talk about it for
a minute, we can, we'll talk about it more in September, but like I said, the Petri dish
of germs, right, it happens, it's school time, we all get sick, and then everybody else gets
sick, it's just this, you know, the dominoes, the fact, so I think it's a really good time
to build your immune system right now, so then you're already having a protective guard,
I'm not saying that you're not going to get sick, but you're probably going to get, if
you do, you'll have a wheyless symptoms, as well, yep, heel faster, and you know what,
you might not even get sick when everyone's getting sick, so it's a great time, I've been
starting to just up my kids' immune vitamins a little more now, just to protect them,
going into the school year, this is good for us parents, maybe we have, there's elderly
grandparents that you're around with a lot too, we got to boost ourselves up, get that
protection.
And we'll talk more about this as we get closer and deeper in the fall, of course, and
everything, but as we're, we're already starting to lose more and more sunshine, just
vitamin D, keeping an eye on that, another thing that you can build up as we get closer
into the winter, and I learned that from Stephen and Katrina, you can, you can learn more
like things like that too, from the gang at family and natural foods, and maybe you have
questions, thoughts, things you want to know, reach out to them, they love answering questions,
they love hunting down the answers to questions, encourage you to do that, everybody, because
not every community has a resource like we do with the brains over there at family and
natural foods, take advantage of them, use them, give them a call, reach out with all your
questions and thoughts, and especially with stuff we've been talking about today, nothing
is one size fits all, and for you and your little ones and stuff, there might be something
that you might need more, you know, well, we're more interested in this, we'll reach out
to the gang, find out, they've got stuff that is much more, that's the way, that's the
whole purpose of a lot of what they're doing at family and natural foods, it's not one
size fits all, there's a lot of us, and a lot of different ways that we, you know, heal
and get better and stuff, find out how you do at family and natural foods.
We got it.
Good stuff you guys, thank you, thank you very much.
Yeah, I'm you and up, stay healthy everyone.
Yeah, we'll talk again to you real soon, thanks for joining us.
Yeah, take care.
