About Peace of My Heart

Let me share my personal health story so you can understand how nutrition has impacted my life and why educating others is such a passion of mine.

Peace of My Heart was born out of my own personal health journey. My name is Jodi Barnhart. I have a Master's degree in Business and worked in the Banking, Accounting and Finance field for 17 years. The stress of trying to work my way up the corporate ladder took its toll on my health. Working long hours and striving to "achieve" caused a lot of stress, which developed into problems with my heart. I was weak, dizzy and light headed most of the time.


I knew the importance of good health. So, I was eating good food, exercised daily and thought I was doing everything I could. But I was still weak all the time due to a super fast heart rate. I also wanted a family someday and was told due to my health issues, I couldn't. I knew there had to be an alternative.

After 10 years of this, I was finally tested and was told my average heart rate was 213 beats a minute. I opted not to take drugs during that time for my heart issues because the side effects could have made me worse than what I was experiencing. I knew I didn't want that. I knew there had to be another solution.

I also had back pain every day from a car accident. I was in and out of therapy quite a few times in a two year period with very little results. It was rare for me to take a pain pill because I didn't want to suffer from all of the side effects. Can you tell, I'm not one who likes to take drugs? I ended up having surgery for my heart twice and still was having rapid heart beats and weak spells.

I also had knee surgery for pain in my knee - I messed that up from not doing proper weight training. I also had 2 surgeries on my neck for a lump, (some kind of growth). The first Dr. didn’t get it all, so I had to have it done again. Needless to say, I had 5 surgeries in a year and a half span. I remember not being able to sleep well at night because I just didn't know where to turn with my health. Yet, I knew deep down there had to be an answer. Having a passion for health since I was about 18 years old lead me down a path of eating well, exercising daily and reading everything I could about health. I took my knowledge and sought out a solution of specific supplementation to regain my health back. For me, since I already had a good diet and was an avid exerciser, supplementation was my missing link. 

And I didn't choose just any old supplement. I tried that in the past and it didn't work. I was very specific on the brand I chose. The best news out of all of this is I was able to produce and bear a beautiful child.

When you're going through health problems, you think you're the only one. What I was surprised to discover was how many other people were suffering with health challenges too. I began to think about how many lives I could impact by sharing the useful information and practical tips I had learned over the years and applied in my own life. Having a passion for wellness since I was young, it was only natural that I gravitated toward educating and dispensing information.

For me, I love to have fun. I knew if I made it fun for others to learn in a simple format, they could integrate it into their busy lives. It has been over 12 years since I've had my business and at age 46 I am feeling great. Having developed health issues due to stress and now having a young child, I discovered a tremendous need for education on the subjects of stress relief and children's nutrition. I took my passion for health and wellness and stepped out of my pantyhose and rush hour traffic and stepped into the"Peace of My Heart" -- my daughter and my passion for educating people on health. Having my business, Peace of My Heart, gives me peace – peace of mind knowing that I’m here with my family. Instead of putting on panty hose and rushing to work, I’m snuggling with my girl. She stole my heart since the day she was born. OK, I do occasionally wear panty hose as I work with a team of presenters hired to conduct "Customized Health Workshops" for Corporations and various Organizations.

I know many of you can relate to parts of my story either for yourself or someone you know. It is my wish that the information on this site will inspire you to find "peace in your heart" or whatever else relaxes you and start walking the road to optimal health!
