Full Circle Market

Speaker 1:           Hey guys we are here in Winchester, Kentucky at the Full Circle Market Health Food stores and I’m here with Laura Sheehan. She is the owner of the store.

Welcome back to the show.

Laura:                    Thank you so much for having me. Thanks for coming to town.

Speaker 1:           We love coming to Winchester of course. Let’s talk about your shop. What are people coming in for in the new year, because it is the new year and I know a lot of people are trying to lose weight. They’re trying to stop smoking, whatever the case might be.

What are people coming in for?

Laura:                    You’re right. We’re finding a lot of people are coming in they’re purging, they’re looking for healthy flowers, healthy spices. We have people coming in always for CBD.

Folks coming in like you mentioned. Weight loss, of late we’ve really been seeing people come in because they’re not feeling well, so sickness has been a reason people are coming in.

Speaker 1:           Everything is going around right now. The flu, I mean people are getting kind of that coughing, cruddy kind of thing going on.

What would you recommend or what are you seeing that people are really wanting when they come into the store to help with the immune system or sickness?

Laura:                    Well, people come in for all sorts of things. Ear candles sell well. People have Neti Pots. They like our essential oils. They love our herbal tea selection.

Some or our best selling supplements are elderberry and oregano. Both of those products are anti-viral and anti-bacterial. So people get a lot of good results with those.

Speaker 1:           Nice, and let me know the secret, what is your favorite?

Laura:                    Definitely the elderberry and the oregano. The elderberry we sell in bulk like this. We have a lot of do-it-yourselfers. We have one customer that brings me home made elderberry syrup. It is the best.

We have recipes, so if anybody wants to learn to make some they can. We also of course sell it already made. Then the oregano. The oregano is really, really a good product. I love the oregano spray.

It’ll burn your nose when you spray it, but it really helps clear up these, the oregano like I said, anti-bacterial. Helps with infection, and it will really clear down into the chest as well so it’s one of my favorite products.

Speaker 1:           Awesome. We have so much more to talk about, but we do have to go to commercial break, but we will be back here watching Good Day Kentucky and we are at Full Circle Market right here in Winchester, Kentucky.

Laura:                    Thank you.

Speaker 1:           Hey guys, we are here in Winchester at the Full Circle Market health food store with Mrs. Laura Sheehan, she is the owner. And Laura, okay, first of all, with the new year the number one resolution is weight loss.

Laura:                    That’s right.

Speaker 1:           And you know what, everybody talks about the keto diet. Can you explain what exactly is it? And just tell us a little bit about the keto diet.

Laura:                    Sure. Well, keto is a simplified term for ketosis.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    And when you are in ketosis you are burning fat for energy. You’re burning both the fat that is stored in your body, and you’re burning good fats that you’re consuming to eat.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Speaker 1:           Alright. And what products do you have here at the store that can help support people that are doing the keto diet?

Laura:                    Right. Well, people that do keto follow a low carb lifestyle. So, we do have alternative flours and sugars for them. We also sell supplements, MCT powder to get good fat in your food. We sell some smoothies, or protein mixes to make smoothies. And of late, people have been looking for BHB, and ketone strips.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    Now, BHB is a supplement and you take it. It helps your body stay in ketosis.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    And we sell it both as a supplement, and we also sell it as a drink. And as a drink it’s like this.

Speaker 1:           Yeah.

Laura:                    And I put it in this bottle of water, and it is like this. Would you like to try it?

Speaker 1:           Absolutely. I love trying new stuff like this.

Laura:                    Well, it’s different. It’s not a protein drink. It is the Beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is a ketone.

Speaker 1:           It’s good.

Laura:                    Which will help give you energy, it’ll help curb your appetite, it’ll help keep you in ketosis.

Speaker 1:           Okay, because I know a lot of times when people are changing and going into a diet mode, they tend to lose energy. They get low energy, and that kind of, actually ends up having them break their diet, because they feel like they need to eat to get that energy.

Laura:                    Right. Right. Right.

Speaker 1:           And so, this type of … These type of products can actually help them stay on track?

Laura:                    Yep. The goal with all of this, is you’re getting your energy from fat. So, you have to eat good fats, you keep your body in that ketosis. Drinks like this, it’s also in supplement form, can help.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    The hardest thing though, is no sugar and no carbs.

Speaker 1:           Okay.

Laura:                    That’s the hardest thing about the keto diet, but people that really stick to it do very well.

Speaker 1:           Awesome.

Laura:                    Yep.

Speaker 1:           And that’s why it’s important for them to come and get support like that from a store like this.

Laura:                    Yeah.

Speaker 1:           Well, and we have more to talk about, but we do have to go to commercial break, but we’ll be back everyone. You are watching Good Day Kentucky. Cheers.

Speaker 1:                           Hi, guys, welcome back. We are here at the Full Circle Market right here in Winchester. I have Miss Katie Wallace with us now. She is the kitchen manager. Welcome back to the show, Katie.

Katie Wallace:                    Thank you. Glad to be back.

Speaker 1:                           We’re glad to have you, too. You know what? That beer cheese that we tried last time we were here was so good. It was a huge hit back at the station, too.

Katie Wallace:                    Thank you.

Speaker 1:                           You know what? What do we have here? You’re going to have me try some other foods that you offer here as well. So, what are we going to start off with?

Katie Wallace:                    Well, we have a whole array of deli items in our grab-and-go section here at the store. First we’re going to try the deviled eggs. Our deviled eggs are a little unique, because they are made from farm-fresh eggs. They have an organic relish in them. That sets them apart from other eggs.

Speaker 1:                           They’re good.

Katie Wallace:                    Just a little more flavor, a little more nutrients from that farm-fresh egg.

Speaker 1:                           Oh, it tastes really good.

Katie Wallace:                    Our next item is the chicken curry coconut wrap. I’m really excited about this item. This is our newest wrap.

Speaker 1:                           What’s coconut about this?

Katie Wallace:                    The wrap is 100% coconut. It’s made with the coconut meat and the milk. We also have the curry chicken salad in it-

Speaker 1:                           I love it.

Katie Wallace:                    … with a massaged kale.

Speaker 1:                           I have a mouth full of [inaudible 00:01:15].

Katie Wallace:                    The next item is our Kentucky caviar, which is made with black-eyed peas and white navy beans, some red bell pepper, and a little bit of spices in it. It’s very delicious and perfect for the new year.

Speaker 1:                           It is, and it’s very healthy, right, with the beans and everything?

Katie Wallace:                    Yes, yes.

Speaker 1:                           I love it. I love it. Now, Katie, what else do you make back in the kitchen, because I know you do a lot more back there?

Katie Wallace:                    We make several salads and wraps. Everything is grab and go. You can find all of our information … We have menus here at the store or at fullcirclemarket.com.

Speaker 1:                           Awesome, and that just happens to be on the back of her sweatshirt, too. Katie, thank you so much for being with us. We really appreciate it.
