    From Soil to Oil: Growing Omega-3 with Andrew Hebard

    What does it take to find a plant that can rival fish as a source of omega-3? For Andrew Hebard, CEO of Natures Crops International, it took 30 years, a common field weed, and a group of British farmers willing to figure out how to grow it. In this episode, Lifeplus CEO Robert Christian sits down with Andrew in Batesville, Arkansas, for the first conversation on the podcast with one of our sourcing partners. Andrew is the agricultural scientist behind Ahiflower, the plant-based oil in Omegahi and in our Ahiflower oil spray for dogs and cats. He shares how his team searched the plant kingdom before the internet made it easy, why the first harvests yielded less seed than was planted, and how partnering with farmers turned a stubborn weed into a reliable crop. Robert and Andrew also cover: The difference between plant-based and marine omega-3s (ALA, SDA, EPA and DHA)Why cooler climates produce plants richer in omega-3The "soil to oil" supply chain, with every batch traceable to the field it was grown inRegenerative farming, solvent-free processing, and B Corp certificationStories from Andrew's farm, from horses and dogs to zoo animalsWhy he sees plant and fish sources as complementary, not competing

    Member First, Executive Second with Sebastian Pilsl

    He was a Lifeplus member for 20 years before he ever worked here. Then he moved his family across an ocean to Batesville, Arkansas. In Episode 3 of the Lifeplus Podcast, Sidney Marx sits down with Sebastian Pilsl, Senior Vice President at Lifeplus, for a conversation about what he saw from the outside, what he found on the inside, and whether the two matched. Sebastian was born in Austria, married a German, raised three kids in Germany, and spent years of his own childhood in Oklahoma. He found Lifeplus as a young entrepreneur looking for something with purpose behind it. Two decades later, a phone call from Robert Christian started a five year journey that ran through a pandemic, a canceled trip, a family road trip to a small town in Arkansas, and eighteen months of visa paperwork. We talk about: → Growing up between Austria, Germany, and Oklahoma, and where he says he's from when someone asks → The health challenges in his family that shaped how he thinks about wellness → Getting serious about his own health at 15, and what that taught him about choice → The questions he and his wife asked before joining, and what they needed to know about the company's integrity → Why a first date conversation about network marketing turned into a 20 year partnership → What held up when he finally saw the company from the inside → Where the wellness industry's trust problem actually comes from, and how to cut through the noise → What to look for in a company you're trusting with your health → The thing about this community he says you have to feel to understand This one's worth sharing.

    Meet the Foundation with Melanie Burrier

    In Episode 5 of the Lifeplus Podcast, Sidney Marx sits down with Melanie Burrier, Director of the Lifeplus Foundation, for an honest conversation about the side of Lifeplus that exists beyond the products: clean water, food, and education for communities working to get back on their feet. Melanie has led the Foundation for 15 years. She came to it not through a single lightbulb moment, but through a father who modeled service, years as a high school teacher watching kids show up hungry, and a conversation with Robert Christian about an organization that needed someone to drive it. We talk about: What the Lifeplus Foundation actually does, and why it was never just waterHow 100 percent of every donation reaches people in need, and why that's possibleThe sand dam in southeastern Kenya that turns dry land green and feeds a communityWhy Melanie walked away from a partnership that didn't share the Foundation's valuesWhat real impact looks like, slower and quieter than most people expectThe philosophy that sets the Foundation apart: remove the barriers, then watch people flourishThe moment at a roadside in Kenya that she has never been able to forget. Plus a rapid fire round covering window seats, travel pillows, and the one place that completely caught her off guard. This one's worth sharing.

    Inside Lifeplus with Our CEO (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of our conversation with CEO and co-founder Robert Christian, we get into the specifics of what makes Lifeplus, Lifeplus. Why network marketing isn't the gig economy, even when it looks similar. What it actually takes to manufacture supplements the right way — and why one out of every three production employees works in quality control. The post-workout shake Robert builds with a rainbow of Lifeplus powders. Plus, a look at what's ahead: the pet line launching more fully in 2026, a pet-and-human wellness app, an expanded fitness range, and Robert's hope for what Lifeplus is known for decades from now. If you missed Part 1, start there for the origin story — the handshake, the move to Batesville, and the values that built the foundation. New episodes of the Lifeplus Podcast release regularly. If this conversation resonated, you probably already know exactly who to send it to.

    Inside Lifeplus with Our CEO (Part 1)

    For the first Lifeplus Podcast, we sat down with the person who's been here from the beginning — CEO and co-founder Robert Christian. This is a conversation about what Lifeplus actually is, beyond the products and beyond the business. How a 21-year-old from Los Angeles ended up shaking hands with two entrepreneurs in Batesville, Arkansas. Why "no catch" became the whole business model. And how a company built on integrity, high-quality manufacturing, and genuine relationships has held onto those values for more than 30 years. Coming Up in Part 2: In the next episode, Robert walks us through the products — the ones he takes daily, the shake recipe he builds post-workout, and the story behind Proanthenols, Lifeplus's quiet number-one seller for more than 30 years. Plus, what's coming in 2026: the pet line, an expanded fitness range, and where Robert sees Lifeplus heading next. Connect With Us: New episodes of the Lifeplus Podcast release regularly. If this conversation resonated, you probably already know exactly who to send it to.
