Our Story
by Paul Bernitt, Board-Certified Doctor of Holistic Health
Dear TriVita Member,
What if the key to feeling better isn’t about adding something new… but reactivating something you already have?
Every day, I speak with people who feel their health is slipping. Maybe you’ve felt it too—getting out of bed takes longer, joints feel stiff and your energy isn’t what it used to be. You might be trying to do everything right: eating healthier, walking more, drinking water, setting a sleep schedule—yet something still feels off.
Let me share something I believe with all my heart: You were created to heal.
God designed your body with built-in intelligence. It knows how to mend, recover and bounce back. The challenge? Over time, that healing ability can become compromised, and one of the biggest culprits behind that blockage is something most people don’t fully understand: chronic inflammation.
The Hidden Burden That Drains Your Energy
Inflammation itself isn’t the enemy. The healing power of healthy inflammation is a vital part of your body’s defense and repair system. For example, when you cut your finger or catch a cold, inflammation rushes in to help you heal. That’s healthy, acute inflammation.
But when your body can’t turn it off—when inflammation sticks around too long because it’s overwhelmed—it becomes chronic. Chronic inflammation can disrupt sleep, wear down your energy, stiffen your joints, delay recovery and leave you feeling like your body isn’t keeping up.
You may not feel sick… but, you also don’t feel well. That’s the tricky part about chronic inflammation: it’s silent, slow moving and often mistaken for just “getting older.”
But, here’s the truth:
Getting older doesn’t have to mean giving up your ability to feel good again.
You can activate healing from the inside out.
Faith, Nature and the Science of Healing
Healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, emotional and natural. I believe our Creator placed healing resources all around us. And, modern science is finally catching up to what native peoples already knew.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us…”
— Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
That power works in us. It was placed there on purpose, and we can support it by removing what blocks it and supplying what fuels it.
That’s where the nopal cactus comes in…
Nature’s Answer from the Sonoran Desert
The nopal cactus is one of the most resilient plants on earth. It thrives in extreme conditions, storing water, nutrients and powerful antioxidants inside its vibrant fruit. For centuries, the indigenous people of the Sonoran Desert used it to soothe discomfort and bring balance back to the body.
At TriVita, we’ve turned this revered plant into something tasty, easy to take and scientifically proven to help: Nopalea®.
Nopalea isn’t just a supplement. It’s a daily wellness drink designed to help your body do what it was made to do—heal… and that is something you can believe in.
What Can Nopalea Really Do?
In a clinical study, participants who took just 3 ounces of Nopalea a day experienced:1
- Lower levels of CRP (C-reactive protein), a key marker of inflammation
- Improved mobility in joints like the neck and back
- Less reliance on pain medications
That means the participants felt better, could move more easily and had less discomfort—all without harsh chemicals or side effects.
But, what’s most powerful about Nopalea is what it activates inside of you. It helps reignite your body’s natural healing pathways.
Why This Matters Now More Than Ever
If you’re over 50, your body’s response to stress, toxins and past inflammation may not be as strong as it once was. Years of wear and tear coupled with modern stressors can cause the body to become overwhelmed.
But, that doesn’t mean healing is out of reach; it’s inside you, just waiting for its full expression.
When you give your body the proper support—especially support that reduces chronic inflammation—it remembers how to heal. And that’s the moment you begin to feel like yourself again.
Healing Doesn’t Happen in a Day—But It Can Begin Today
If you’ve been living with chronic inflammation…
If you feel like your energy, mobility or strength just isn’t what it used to be…
If you’re tired of pain and discomfort stealing your joy…
It’s time to believe in and awaken the healing power within.
Your healing journey may not be a quick fix, but it can start today—with belief, with nature, with science and with Nopalea.
Let your healing be led by faith, supported by nature and strengthened by science.
Let Healing Power Within Begin With Belief
The most important part of this journey is belief:
- Believing that your body, right down to every cell and DNA strand, was designed to recover
- Believing in the wisdom of God’s medicinal plants in creation
- Believing in what our ancestors knew and science now affirms
- And, believing that it’s not too late to reclaim your wellness
Whether you’ve been struggling with limited range of motion, soreness or just a lack of vitality, I invite you to awaken the healing power within. Not by forcing your body, but by supporting it with nature, science and Scripture.
