Ecuador!  

We're the Naugle Family: Markus, Stacy, Nikko, and Orion. 

We are 50-something entrepreneurs who have pursued excellence our entire lives; in sports, academics, multiple businesses, raising our children... we play hard. 

Thoreau said, "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life". This is how we live, and it requires that we show up with our A-game every day, ready to explore life in all its magnificence. 

We've spent our lives researching and experimenting with high-performance diet and lifestyle habits to keep us and our family feeling and being our best. 

Markus earned his degree in molecular biology at MIT and started exploring a plant-based diet 30 years ago. After great success in the corporate biotech world he headed to the mountains and meditation, searching for greater meaning. He taught yoga in prisons, consulted businesses and organizations, co-founded a GAP year program in Guatemala, was regional director for a science-based conservation organization, and served as a fire fighter and EMT. He's traveled through 65+ countries, climbed mountains, and dived the ocean depths. 

Stacy earned her masters of Acupuncture after an undergraduate focus in biology and has maintained an international health care practice for thirty years. In college she was a commercial fisher-woman in Alaska's Bering Sea, she co-founded an eco-sailing charter business, built an Aromatherapy company, taught yoga and meditation in her healing center, searched for the keys to radiant longevity in cultures around the world where she also explored jungles, mountains, and the ocean depths. 

Now they share their life knowledge and experience with their clients and community in Your Vegan Family. Their goal is to provide excellence-driven people with leading-edge high-performance health strategies that help them be the most successful business owner, parent, spouse, and friend they can be. We want our clients and their families to feel capable and energized to "live deep" too.
