Hi, I’m Vicki Zerbee, creator of AntiAgingByDesign and a longtime Shaklee Ambassador with more than four decades of experience using and sharing natural nutrition, wellness, personal care, and healthy-living products.
I’ve been a Shaklee Ambassador since 1982, using the products personally and helping others learn more about nutrition, wellness, personal care, and creating a healthier home. Healthy living has been part of my husband, John’s, and my everyday life for 44+ years.
Today, at 64, I’m more interested than ever in what it means to live well as we get older, not simply adding years to life, but staying active, energetic, curious, independent, and excited about the years ahead.
That’s the idea behind AntiAgingByDesign.
There are so many healthy lifestyle choices that can guide how we feel each day including our strength and energy, the kind of health we have, and what our healthspan (vs. lifespan) will be.
I share all kinds of health and wellness ideas, tips, products, lifestyle hacks, experiences and news.
If you are not familiar with the name Shaklee, it’s because this company is one of the best kept secrets in the country – that has 100 years of natural health legacy. More about that in a minute..
John and I are blessed to have 4 awesome adult children and their spouses, and to live close by our 9 grandchildren (11 years old and younger). Family is #1 to us and we love spending time with them, and having the littles help us feel young and energized.
I am building this site at AntiAgingByDesign.com to share what I learn as well as what has worked for my family and I, as well as friends and clients, that helps keep us feeling healthy and younger than our years.
Gratitude for our life and all of our blessings is something we feel and focus on daily. Keeping a healthy, positive mindset feels empowering and is so important for wellness, peace and happiness.

More Than 40 Years of Natural Wellness Experience
I didn’t discover healthy living because it became popular on social media. It has been part of my life for more than four decades.
John and I were introduced to Shaklee in 1982, shortly after we were married. What began with using the products ourselves grew into a lifelong interest in nutrition, natural wellness, healthier homes, and understanding how the everyday choices we make can influence how we feel.
A lot has changed since 1982. Wellness trends have come and gone, research has evolved, and we have access to more health information than ever before.
But my basic philosophy has remained surprisingly simple: take care of your body, give it good nutrition, keep moving, keep learning, and make choices today that your future self will thank you for.
Why AntiAgingByDesign?
I’m still learning, experimenting, reading, researching, and sharing what I discover. AntiAgingByDesign is where I bring those pieces together.
Topics on the blog include natural nutrition, trying to live more chemical-free and lots of other anti-aging topics like looking younger including natural skin care, eating healthy, fitness and exercise, and the latest research and science on having better health and living longer. In order to have good health and feel great every day I believe you have to have a plan.
From the time we are born there are environmental and lifestyle factors that will influence our health. It is up to us to be our own advocates for staying healthy. Today there’s lots of content about what we do, what we eat, and the choices we make in terms of lifestyle that contribute to the actual health we experience – even more than genetics. Young children as well as teens are experiencing illnesses and diseases that used to only affect us when we were much older – further proof that it is choice and not our genes that will control our longevity.
The right nutrition can help your body repair and rejuvenate, and most important fight the diseases of aging. We expect to wake up and feel good. We don’t like to get sick, and if we do we know that the symptoms will most probably be less than they could be and not last as long. A healthy immune system may not be perfect but it doesn’t take you down and out like illnesses can – and it helps you get better faster.
I used to have health challenges like frequent colds and sore throats, hormone issues, be bothered by restless legs and some digestive issues, and have had some joint and muscle pain challenges. What is important that I have learned is that there are nutritional answers that can help your body address pretty much any health problem.
We have a lot of choices every day: what we eat, how much we eat, what chemicals we’re exposed to, how active we are, how well we rest, and many others. The more we choose healthy living, the better and more energized we feel today and the healthier we will be as we age.
The reason I choose The Shaklee Brand is because nutrition supplements are not created equal. More recently we learned that it can be more harmful to your health to use synthetic vitamins than to use none at all, and we also have long-term supplement studies that prove Shaklee products work to help make you healthier.
The other topic I like to write about here is brain and mind health, in terms of both cognitive issues and the power of our thoughts and feelings that can affect our health. Not so much about thinking positive, but I am so interested to share content on understanding how we have choices over our thoughts and ways to manage that to improve emotional health.
If you’d like to see the Shaklee nutrition, wellness, skin care and healthy-home products I personally recommend, you can visit my official Shaklee storefront here.
I hope that you learn something helpful here and I welcome talking with you about natural nutrition, targeting better health, or your anti-aging plan. Contact me through the blog here anytime and I will get back to you about a good time to talk – email discussions are great as well.
Thanks again for visiting,
Vicki Zerbee
