The TED story
Achieving good health and life goals takes a lot of grit and determination. The daughter of a barber, I started with no connections, little money, and limited resources. What I did have was the determination and the ability to transform people from sick and overweight to healthy and happy. My vision was big—I wanted to help transform lives on a global scale. So I shot for the moon. With all of my money going toward my wellness business, I remortgaged my home and experienced constant cash flow problems in the beginning. My children went without many of the things their friends had, my personal relationships suffered… but I persisted. A hometown doctor with very little knowledge of the new digital world and the brutal TV industry, I quickly realized I was going to have to fight for my vision every step of the way. And like so many women, I walked a tightrope between providing for my kids and strategizing how to grow my business, write books, and get my message out on TV and online to help people live a healthier life. I essentially created an entirely new food category. Bone broth is one of the world’s most powerful healing foods, but when I first started out, not many people were aware of the broth or its benefits. It took a lot of grit, a PBS special, and what eventually became a New York Times bestselling book for me to get the word out and send bone broth into the stratosphere. Today, you can find DKA Bone Broth in both packets and ready-to-drink formulas on my website (https://drkellyann.com/) and at select national retailers. My success was the culmination of a long, hard journey—from being in profound debt to creating a 100+ million dollar brand. It was proof that I could make a difference in the lives of people around the world. In just two decades, I've gone from helping a few hundred patients in my practice to helping millions worldwide.
