When you’re Justin Abdelkader, health is a vital component in playing for the
NHL’s Detroit Red Wings. Fortunately, Justin and his wife Julie have become
model citizens in the healthy food game. Julie is on her way to certification as an
Integrative Health Coach while Justin pays close attention to what he eats and
how it impacts his game. Between careers and promoting Justin’s children’s book,
Justin and Julie stay busy. Both are ardent fans of Garden of Life ® products as
part of their ongoing effort to stick with a health program that works. We caught
up with this enterprising couple to find out how they make it look so easy.
