OUR STORY

From Pharmacy Counter to Kitchen Table

For over 15 years, I stood behind the pharmacy counter watching the same heartbreaking pattern repeat itself.

Patients would come in hopeful, arms full of supplements their doctors recommended. Vitamin D. Magnesium. B12. Iron. A whole alphabet of pills they were told would change their lives.

Three months later? The bottles sat half-empty in bathroom cabinets. The pills made them nauseous. The powders tasted awful. The regimen was too complicated. Life got busy. They gave up.

It wasn't their fault. The supplements weren't the problem — the delivery was.

Two Perspectives, One Frustration

My husband is a naturopath. I'm a pharmacist. We come at health from different angles, but we kept running into the same wall.

He'd design the perfect protocol for his patients — carefully selected supplements that would genuinely help. I'd see those same patients at the pharmacy, picking up their scripts, adding bottles of vitamins to their bags. We both believed in what we were recommending.

But compliance? That was another story.

"I forget to take them." "They upset my stomach." "I can't swallow that many pills." "It's too expensive to keep up."

The science was sound. The intention was there. But the execution failed — and so did the results.

We started researching alternatives together. Lower doses. Different delivery methods. That's when we discovered what transdermal technology could do. Patches had been used in medicine for decades — nicotine patches, hormone patches, pain relief patches. Why not nutrients?

The more we studied, the more it made sense. Bypass the gut. Avoid the first-pass metabolism. Deliver a steady, consistent dose over hours instead of one big spike. Better absorption. Better compliance. Better results.

But it wasn't until it became personal that everything changed.

When It Hits Home

Our youngest child was diagnosed with autism at age three.

Like many kids on the spectrum, he struggled with nutrient deficiencies. His body wasn't absorbing what it needed, no matter how hard we tried. We did the blood tests. We saw the gaps. We knew exactly what he needed — between the two of us, we had the knowledge to help him.

But try getting a three-year-old to swallow supplements. Try mixing powders into food for a child with sensory issues who can taste every single thing. Try hiding pills in applesauce when they gag on textures.

Every day was a battle. And every day, we watched our son struggle — knowing there was something that could help, but unable to get it into his little body.

Out of desperation, we started making patches at home.

My husband formulated gentle, targeted blends based on our son's specific deficiencies. I sourced the ingredients and figured out the delivery. We stuck them on his back before bed. No fighting. No tears. No forcing anything down his throat.

And slowly, things started to shift.

His energy improved. His focus sharpened. The brain fog lifted. His meltdowns became less frequent. The dark circles under his eyes faded. His teachers noticed. His therapists noticed. We noticed.

For the first time in years, we felt hope.

From Our Family to Yours

That kitchen table experiment became Patchwell®.

What started as two desperate parents trying to help their child is now a mission to help everyone who's ever given up on supplements. The busy mum who doesn't have time for a 10-pill morning routine. The executive who travels too much to keep powders in their suitcase. The teenager who refuses to swallow capsules. The elderly parent whose stomach can't handle another tablet.

We believe wellness shouldn't be complicated. It shouldn't make you feel sick. And it definitely shouldn't require a PhD in nutrition to figure out.

Peel. Stick. Live your life.

That's it.

What We Stand For

Every Patchwell® patch is formulated with the same care we'd give our own family — because we do give them to our own family. Every single day.

We use only high-quality, research-backed ingredients. No fillers. No junk. No artificial anything. Just what your body needs, delivered in a way your body can actually use.

We're not here to replace medical advice. We're here to make following it actually possible.

Because the best supplement in the world doesn't work if it stays in the bottle.

Welcome to Patchwell®. Wellness that sticks.
