Amarillo: Faces, Places & Open Spaces

An interest in nutrition, a desire to
become well, and a determination to stay
well, propelled Judie Boothe into a vocation
dedicated to helping others. Judie and her
husband Ron had suffered from years of poor
health when she began to seek alternatives
that would put them on a path to wellness.
She began to study nutrition in
earnest and as she visited health
food stores, she found help in the
use of vitamins and supplements.
In her quest to educate herself in
alternative healing, Judie began
to study with many of the experts
in the field and changed their diets
to raw, organic foods and quality
supplements. Putting her new
found knowledge to work, Judie
and Ron began a journey toward
health. The process took several
years, but the education Judie
acquired changed her life so
dramatically, she wanted to use it to
help others.
The Boothes purchased Fountain
of Health in 1975, and successfully
developed the store into a leading
source for healthy food choices,
supplements, and an education
center for those seeking a better
quality of life. Fountain of Health
supplies a loyal customer base
from the tri-state region with
supplements from trusted sources
like Bluebonnet Nutrition, Nordic
Naturals, SolarRay, Carlson and Bell Lifestyle.
Fountain of Health also developed, exclusive
to the store, AdVite Nutrition supplements
from trusted manufacturers, ranging from
multivitamins, to products for eye health,
heart health and bone health. The store also
carries a line of whole, natural foods, gluten
free products, cosmetics and body care items.
The staff is well trained and available to
answer questions to help customers make
better food and supplement choices.
Fountain of Health uses no chemicals in
the store and works to promote conservation
and eco-friendly practices. Judie, Board
Certified in Clinical Nutrition, has a clinical
practice as well; she has to have twenty hours
of continuing education annually and testing
every four years to retain her certification.
She has studied with experts in the
industry for over forty years, and now teaches
others to change their lifestyles, put away
unhealthy habits, and achieve a better quality
of life.
Judie’s dedication to the nutrition field
and alternative healing has caused industry
leaders to recognize her expertise. She has
stepped up to leadership roles by serving the
industry as president of the Natural Products
Association-Southwest Region for eight
years on the regional board, and four years
on the national board. She also has served
on the board of the Texas Chapter of
International and American Association of
Clinical Nutritionists. She has been active as
a volunteer in the Amarillo community as
well. Judie continues to help people in
the community and at Fountain of Health;
her goal is to change people’s health one
individual at a time.
