Meet Madinah Simpson of The Living Farmacy in Downtown Phoenix

Today we’d like to introduce you to Madinah Simpson.

Madinah, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My mother instilled in me that there was no limit to what I could achieve. I could do whatever I dreamed up; luckily so because I did just that in my pursuit of finding my passion.

I was able to attend college, acquired a graduate degree, land my dream job in corporate healthcare, and more importantly was able to check all the other boxes of “success”. However, deep inside; I was eager to search the most important question of all; what’s the purpose of my life? Hence, I’m forever grateful to my corporate experience, that is where I developed my leadership skills, built my confidence, learned how to lean in, and most importantly connect with some absolutely inspiring and amazing leaders. Life is funny like that because as I developed all of these amazing skills in corporate in pursuit of climbing “the ladder” simultaneously, I was igniting something deeper inside of me that inevitably lead to my resignation from corporate.

So, here I was in my professional life, leading a high paced high stress department based in managing populations with chronic illnesses from a pharmaceutical western approach. I was able to see first hand the impact of chronic disease and the reach of devastation that spread far to wide and healing that spread way to thin.

In my private life, my focus has been on growing a lot of my own food, using nature to heal, maintaining a vegan plant based lifestyle, passionate to help and educate friends and family to make better lifestyle choices, reading excessively about holistic health and energy healing, practicing meditation and yoga for stress relief and so much more. People at work, strangers on the streets, friends and family were always noticing this light within me, this natural fire energy behind my eyes to this day I’m confident it has to do with what I put in my body and a lifestyle based from nature. Clearly, it was inevitable that my professional and personal life would collide, however in quite an extraordinary way.

So, I jumped! Over a two year period, I built my own holistic nutrition and healing website, registered my business, and traveled to Puerto Rico to study at the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute. Six months after I returned from Puerto Rico, I quit corporate to pursue my passion full time to heal, educate, and expose other’s to nature’s cures. I can’t remember ever being so creative, inspired, joyful, ambitious, or grateful than I am now that I’m investing in my gift, my passion, myself.

It’s all about the timing in your life, all things are in divine order.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
My journey has been quite abundant. Abundant in the gifts that transform you as well as enlighten. My biggest transformations are linked to the challenges I faced. Structure and organization are a few of my strong points, however as I learned to let go and be fluid like water I was able to not only be more creative, I allowed more positive energy to flow.

The enlightenment I experienced came directly from the love, support, and gratitude my creator, family, friends and even strangers provided me. Though I had plenty of support, there were times when I felt uncomfortable, unsure, scared, and flat out frozen. But, I pulled a saying a special person in corporate use to always say to me when I was facing a challenge…”You got this”! That one saying to this very day always aligns and balances me to catapult forward. It’s not about being fearless… but walking through the fear and arriving on the other side, it’s quite glorious I must say.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
The Living Farmacy, LLC is holistic plant based nutrition and lifestyle consulting. I educate and support my clients to heal from illness by reconnecting them back to nature.

Using my four elements of wellness: Mindfulness, nature, awareness, and gratitude I’m able to design a personalized plant-based regimen stepping my clients through my key 3 pillars: remove, replace, and rejuvenate. By doing so we are able to remove toxicities, improve deficiencies and begin restoring the body to its natural balance.

My regimens are unique as they are based in the abundance of indigenous alkaline plant-based foods and reducing man manipulated GMO foods. Indigenous plants and herbs have the most healing powers and magic that will restore and revitalize your body. Regimens are also based in a holistic approach to restoring hydration to the body, soaking and sprouting seeds nuts and grains for maximum nutrition, healing the gut to promote maximum absorption and immunity, growing your own food, juicing, fasting, and detoxification.

What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was quiet, an observer of life around me. My big sister took me everywhere with her which made my childhood actually quite exciting and fun because I probably went a lot of places that I shouldn’t have. I had a small handful of close friends but by high school, I found myself in countless extracurricular activities which I believe was the catalyst to me coming out my shell finally. Track ‘n field, cheerleading, dancing, school camping trips, wilderness retreats… anything that had me outside and physically active, I was involved in.
