The series got its start when Alfred Hall, an expert on square foot gardening, was dining at Heaven Sent and got to talking with owner Debbie Doerflein about eating healthy. This evolved into the Healthy Living Series at Heaven Sent.

Hall wants the series to provide people with “no cost or lowest-cost ways they can improve their overall mental physical and spiritual well-being.”
Doerflein, who has tried hormone therapy, said, “I’m 56 and I’ve had the business for 10 years. I don’t have time to get old or tired. If you don’t take care of yourself, you’re going to fall apart and not be good for anything.”
