#122- Healing Beyond the Prescription: Holistic Health, Resilience, and Purpose with Kelly Turns

What if the solution to your health isn’t another pill?

In this episode of Thinking That Matters, I sit down with Kelly Turns—pharmaceutical rep, co-owner of Botanic Life, and advocate for holistic wellness. What began as a personal health crisis at 45 led Kelly to question everything she knew about medicine. Her journey—from chronic fatigue and seven medications to discovering gluten as the root cause of her symptoms—sparked a transformation in how she thinks about healing, business, and purpose.

Kelly opens up about the moment when “the science wasn’t sciencing,” and how a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) changed the trajectory of her life. Integrating Eastern and Western medical practices, she found new energy, clarity, and a calling to help others do the same.

 

Together with business partner Tammy Kleis, Kelly launched Botanic Life, a CBD and natural health store in McKinney, Texas. The road wasn’t easy—from scraping adhesive off old floors to juggling full-time jobs and motherhood—but a “find a way” mindset rooted in their upbringing carried them through.

 

This episode is more than a business story. It’s a conversation about alignment—how daily affirmations, mental resets, community, and faith can anchor us through uncertainty and help us make decisions that align with our greater purpose.

 

Key takeaways:

• The health scare that changed Kelly’s view of medicine forever
  
  

• How she went from seven prescriptions to managing wellness through nutrition and CBD
  
  

• The link between mindset and healing—and how to tune in to it
  
  

• How community helped build a business from the ground up
  
  

• What it really takes to launch a store while holding a full-time job
  
  

• How faith shaped Kelly’s long-term vision and daily decisions
  
  

• Strategies to filter through distractions and stay focused
  
  

• Why saying “no” is essential for mental clarity and sustainability
