00:00Hey, it's Randy Miles from the Detroit Praise Network. And I am so excited to talk to this
00:05young lady. And I say young lady with the utmost respect, because she has a product that is
00:12changing people's lives all over the place. Yvonne Monwicky.
00:17Monwicky.
00:19Monwicky.
00:21Monwicky.
00:22Yvonne Monwicky.
00:25Close enough.
00:26Close enough. I'm going to get it. And I'm going to do it very respectfully,
00:30because I'm learning as much as I can about my father's background. His background is mostly
00:37Nigerian. And I'm trying to pride myself in getting better with pronouncing people's names
00:42that are from Africa. And you told me before that you are from Kenya, East Africa.
00:50Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Well, I want to talk about Vonna's Tonics and the reason why you
01:00got started with this product. First of all, you won a grant through our Beasley Media Group to
01:07promote your product on air. You were given a grant to be able to advertise on the station. And the
01:14commercials are very effective, by the way. And I'm grateful to be able to try some of the products
01:20myself. But give me a little bit of background on how you got started.
01:25So I studied a lot of herbology and holistic medicine, especially growing up under my mom,
01:32who was a holistic doctor and a nutritionist. So I studied nutrition also. But I came up with
01:38the recipes when my kids used to come home from school, talking about somebody's sick in school,
01:45and I didn't want them to get sick. That's really important. Because when kids are in school,
01:52we know that they end up with immune disorders because of, you know, the germs that are coming
01:58in from from other kids. So you started to come up with these recipes then? Yes, I came up with
02:06different recipes after that because I have friends that knew I studied herbology. And somebody's like,
02:12I have low energy. Can you help me? I need to lose some weight. Can you help me? So I came up with
02:17recipes for different tonics. And now I have a line of nine. Nine. That is amazing. What's your top
02:24selling tonic right now? Right now is definitely the immune support tonic. Everybody got really serious
02:31about trying to take care of their health better. Once you know, the COVID hit and the world is in
02:36chaotic, uh, disarray with the health problems. So everybody's like, I need my immune system taken
02:42care of. Can I get some immune tonic? And I'm like, I have no problem with supply and demand because I
02:47did curbside delivery. And, uh, you know, that way we can all be safe. What I love is it's fresh.
02:54Um, it's, it's made, you know, you can put it in a refrigerator and, um, and use the tonic the way
03:01that you, you know, actually ask us to use. Um, I was saying before, uh, when I talked to you before,
03:08uh, my niece came down with COVID in Georgia. And one of the things that, um, we did was to actually
03:15send her ginger, turmeric, lemons, and gave her a way to boost her immune system. And she got over it
03:23pretty quickly. I'm grateful to God, but speaking of God has given us all of these things. Yes.
03:30All these things. A lot of it is right in our kitchen as spices and herbs that we use on the
03:35regular. If you pay attention and just make sure you take them every day or every other day,
03:41your system will already be strong enough. Yeah. And, and begin to correct itself. What are some of
03:47the other benefits of, uh, Vonna's tonics? So all the tonics are made fresh with no preservatives
03:53or chemicals in them. And they're all natural. So I use incorporation of like herbs, spices,
04:00vegetables, fruit, some of what we already missing on a daily basis. So if you, if you take them
04:07naturally, your body is not going to like, uh, feel the need to try to get to something else.
04:13That's not beneficial. I'm a given example of the energy tonic. You're not going to feel the need to
04:17go and get a five hour energy or a Red Bull that is loaded with chemicals. The energy tonic will
04:23supply you with benefits. Beats that's in it will help your blood. The cayenne pepper will stimulate
04:29your system. The rhodiola will give you focus and, you know, continuation of, you know, what energy you
04:36need for the day. So I try to make sure that the, uh, the body sustains itself with whatever the,
04:43the intake of all the herbs that I'm putting in the tonics. That is fantastic. Now I know that you
04:49have a line of nine different tonics and give me some of the other ones that you have.
04:55So immune support energy, we talked about, then I have joint support, weight loss, detox,
05:04weight gain, sleep, sexual health. And, uh, I think I'm missing one. Um,
05:11Oh, that might be it. Yeah. Oh, and the skin one. I keep, Oh, right. It's the newest one. That's why
05:18it's always like, Oh, which other one do I have? But, uh, you know, that's important. And a lot of
05:23people don't realize how, you know, what you take into your system. I'm really getting into this
05:29because of, you know, having to go to a chiropractor who's really, really, you know,
05:34wanting me to increase my water and do the things that I need to do for my health. And I've noticed a
05:40difference in my skin, but what do you, what's in the, uh, skin tonic that helps people out?
05:47Different berries. So like blueberries, blackberries. Um, and, and then I put an infusion
05:54of like herbs, like calendula, a little bit of dandelion, uh, then a little bit of honey,
06:00a little bit of lemon, everything that's good for your skin. Anyway, you can, you know, some of this
06:05stuff, you can make pet paste with it and do like a facial thing, but you can also ingest it because
06:10it's all natural herbs. And, uh, that way you start seeing a change in your skin. It keeps you
06:15youthful. It makes your, um, skin get more even. It keeps you, you know, feeling good and your hair
06:22and nails will also grow from that. Wow. I am so excited about what you're doing and what is some
06:29of the future that you're looking into for Vana's tonics? So right now I introduced the memberships
06:36for my regulars because, you know, they want to be able to get their tonics on the, on a regular
06:41basis. And so they have perks of the, their prices stay the same and they get to get their deliveries
06:48for, uh, it's complimentary delivery. Wow. Cause my prices will go up in January. But other than that,
06:55I have a few places that have been inquiring that they want to have my tonics in the location,
07:00like a gym, some of the, you know, like the gym I go to get some fitness, my friend's dance studio.
07:06I have a, another spot where my friend has all things marketplace and small events that come up,
07:13you know, if we're able to do events in the future, I'm a, I'm a try to do that. And also maybe next year
07:19sometime, I want to do a Vana tonics truck, drive around town and just supply people the tonics that
07:25they need. Well, make sure that you make your rounds to Ferndale because I'm a believer.
