Herbal combinations for better vibes with Alex Amick of Vibe Nutraceuticals

Sometimes you can have the best of both worlds. Vibe Nutraceuticals, founded by CEO Alex Amick, is on a mission to blend the benefits of western medicine with the natural resources offered by Mother Nature for optimal health.

Drawing from her lineage of medicine women, Alex uses her herbalist expertise to help enhance the well-being of others through plant-based remedies.

With a deep connection to herbal traditions and a background in both eastern and western medicine, Alex (known affectionately as an "Herban Dictionary"), is committed to revolutionizing health through her herbal formulations.

We chatted with Alex about herbalism, her routine, and more.

Q. What led you to pursue herbalism?

A. They say your true passion is how you spent your childhood. I vividly remember playing with leaves and flowers to make potions and poultices for my friends.

When playtime was over and the years rolled by, I caved to the pressures of society and pursued a more traditional role in the workforce. Even though I spent most of my career in western medicine, I found myself having to rely on plant allies when faced with some pretty serious diagnoses. Once it became clear to me how powerful herbs can be, I decided to take the leap and dive fully back into my first love: herbalism. 

Q. What inspired you to create Vibe?

A. Our bespoke formula, Vibe Up, was initially created to help me out of a dark time. I had spent years suffering from various health issues and after some particularly turbulent times, I found it really hard to even get out of bed in the morning.

I began experimenting with different supplement stacks to see what worked for me and finally found a combination that started to make me feel human again. When you find something that changes your life, you share it with the world. I’m excited to continue bringing more herbal formulations to my community as we grow. 

Q. What's your typical Vibe routine?

A. I love starting my day with a “morning mocktail” which includes all of my favorite herbs in one drink. I like to combine adaptogens for focus and resilience like the ones in Vibe Up with the collagen and Shen building herbs in Vibe Beauty. I mix these into an electrolyte powder or coconut water with a dash of Celtic sea salt to begin my day feeling alert, alive, focused, and hydrated.
