New Career Born Out Of A Mom's Concern For Her Daughter
Kelly Wentworth committed to building a business that leads to better health.
For longtime Tewksbury resident Kelly Wentworth, health and wellness have always been a way of life.
With a bachelors degree in Exercise Physiology and a career background in the fitness field, it seemed almost inevitable that, even as she changed careers and raised her children, she would eventually end up back in the wellness field.
Ironically, it was at the health club where this mother of three eventually found the product and the career that was to become her passion. Approximately five years ago Wentworth was working out at a local gym when she began hearing some of the other moms discussing a product called Juice PLUS+.

With a three-year-old who it seemed was destined to be sick all winter Wentworth was intrigued by the product that so many moms were crediting with their children’s improved health.
“The talk about Juice PLUS+ at the gym really caught my attention,” explained Wentworth. “My daughter was always sick and, at the same time, an extremely picky eater so I wanted to know more."

It didn’t take long for Wentworth to make her decision and, almost immediately, her new career path was underway.
“I did some research and thought it was worth a shot,” Wentworth remembered. “I also wanted to offset my own costs so I signed up as representative almost immediately.”
It didn’t take long for Wentworth to realize that she had made a good decision. “The first thing I noticed was that my daughter, Christina, wasn’t spending the whole winter sick. The Juice PLUS+ made a huge difference for her as well as the rest of my family,” said Wentworth. “My husband, Jim, travels quite a bit and suddenly he wasn’t getting sick after every flight. Honestly, the Juice Plus paid for itself almost immediately when I stopped having to pay for visits to the doctor’s office.”
With some experience in her past as a sales representative, Wentworth was able to take her new found passion for the Juice PLUS+ product and turn it into a career quickly. Eager to share her experiences with others, Wentworth began doing wellness presentations and health fairs.
“I had a number of people in mind that I wanted to get the product to immediately," said Wentworth. "In many ways the business began simply as wanting to share Juice PLUS+ with people that I knew.”
As a mom of three girls, Christina, age 8, Jenna, age 10 and Katelyn, age 15, Wentworth appreciates the fact that Juice PLUS+ allows her to set her own schedule as well as sales goals.
“It really is the perfect part time job,” Wentworth said. “With no sales quotas the company is very supportive of what you as a representative want to do. I can make my own hours and work as much or as little as I want to.”
With three main products in their line, Juice PLUS+ offers its customers as well as its representatives a small, quality based product. “The main product is the Orchard and Garden Blend which contains 17 raw fruits and vegetables in either capsule or gummy form,” explained Wentworth. “This truly is the product that absolutely everyone can benefit from. It really is a ‘no brainer’ in my opinion. It bridges the gap between what we (should) eat and what we actually do eat. Everyone can benefit from adding more fruits and vegetables.”
Unlike traditional vitamins, Juice PLUS+ is, as Wentworth explained, “a concentrated whole food supplement.” In addition they also offer Then Vineyard Blend, which contains ten types of berries and grapes as well as complete shakes. All of the Juice PLUS+ products are all natural and gluten free.
In addition to being passionate about the Juice Plus product line, Wentworth loves to talk about one particular program that the company offers.
“If you, as an adult, order the Juice Plus product line you can then sponsor one child to get Juice Plus for free, she explained. “It shows the level of commitment that Juice Plus has for its customer’s well being.”
These days, Wentworth is not the only person singing the praises of her Juice PLUS+ business. Longtime customer, Jenniffer Rogers, is happy to share her thoughts about Juice PLUS+.
“Doctors appointments and sick days were once part of my routine. My son would miss a lot of school due to bronchitis,” Rogers explained. “Thanks to Juice PLUS+ my son no longer gets bronchitis and my work life balance is easier to manage.”
In addition to selling the Juice PLUS+ product Wentworth enjoys helping others learnt he basics of good health and wellness. "I offer complimentary wellness presentations, where people can learn more about nutrition, how to read food labels, the importance of whole food nutrition, etc," she explained. "Perfect for all ages; I even show something shocking about their favorite fast food!"
