To bring you the very best in wellness information and products, we created a special

the latest scientific research on nutrition and health, which allows us to help
people like you live lives of greater wellness.

TriVita’s Healthcare Professionals
Brazos Minshew
TriVita Chief Science Officer
Our team of healthcare leaders starts with our own highly accomplished Brazos Minshew. As Chief Science Officer, he uses his medical science education and extensive naturopathy experience to analyze society’s most pressing health problems and to seek out natural solutions from nature.
For Brazos Minshew, wellness starts with a simple human truth: We all have physical, emotional and spiritual needs that must be met if we are to be healthy. But that’s just the beginning. We must also have a sense of purpose. "In order to have a reason for wellness, we must claim our purpose -- and work to fulfill it."
One of Brazos' greatest accomplishments has been working with TriVita to find a natural solution to North America’s inflammation epidemic. "There are native people living among us who do not experience the diseases associated with inflammation," says Brazos. "My responsibility and great pleasure has been to find out what they eat that
reduces inflammation and how it improves their quality of life." With the discovery of the health benefits of the Nopal cactus and the development of Nopalea, Brazos has fulfilled at least one of his personal destinies. He’s helping people everywhere to live healthier lives -- and to thrive.
