The Wake-Up Call That Built Americare Supplements: From Breakdown to Breakthrough

By Lorris Smith, Founder of Americare Supplements

It was late summer 2021—one of those clear blue Colorado mornings, high up in the Rocky Mountains, with the sun just starting to beat down on the dusty trails of South Park. I was in an old work truck, heading to another long day of chimney sweeps. At the time, I was neck-deep in HVAC work, mostly wood, gas, and pellet chimney inspection and installation.

The day started like every other. Fast. Dirty. Nonstop.

Like clockwork, I cracked open my usual morning "fuel"—a tall energy drink. Years of abuse had conditioned my body to function on nothing but caffeine, zero food, and barely any water. It had gone from black coffee in my teens, to soda in my twenties, to high-powered energy drinks in my thirties. By then, I was averaging two a day, sometimes more. Throw in 12–16 hour workdays and band practice at night, and you had the formula for total body burnout.

What I didn’t know was that my body was about to fight back.

The Moment That Changed Everything

As I sped down that dirt road, sipping that poison and thinking about my next job, I suddenly felt it—BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Like a sledgehammer pounding inside my chest.

I froze.

I tried to dismiss it. Told myself, “It’s probably nothing.” But being the idiot I was—I took another sip.

Then it hit again.

Harder.

My heart was racing out of control. My hands were trembling. I barely got the truck pulled over. There was no cell service. It wasn’t even my truck. I remember thinking, “This is how it ends?”

But it didn’t end.

Instead, it began.

That day, I cracked the window open, dumped the drink out onto the dirt, and made myself a promise:

No more caffeine. Ever.

The Road to Healing… and Truth

What followed was a long road—6 to 12 months of heart flutters, chronic fatigue, and body confusion. But something else started to change.

Within two weeks of quitting caffeine and going full-time on water, I was able to stop taking Zantac. I had been dependent on it—twice a day—for years. Before that, it was Tums, antacids, anything to get through the pain. I'd had stomach issues since I was a teenager, and nothing had worked long-term.

That was when I also stopped eating gluten. Coincidence? Maybe. But I’d been learning about glyphosate—how it’s sprayed on most wheat and is linked to gut problems, hormonal issues, even autoimmune responses.

And just like that, something clicked: The world isn’t built for your health. It’s built for profit.

Awakening to the Lies

As someone who has always leaned toward truth-seeking, I started researching. Deep.

Big Pharma. Big Food. Big Supplement.

What I found disgusted me.

Most supplements are manufactured overseas with no oversight. They’re full of fillers, heavy metals, and synthetic garbage. Labels lie. Certifications mean nothing without third-party testing. And the sad truth? Even the “natural” ones don’t do what they promise.

If you’ve ever taken a supplement and thought “this isn’t doing anything”—you’re not wrong.

Building Americare Supplements

I couldn’t find a brand I trusted. So I built one.

  • Made in the USA

  • Third-party tested for purity and potency

  • GMP-certified facilities

  • No hidden fillers, no lies on the label

  • Formulated for working Americans—like me

Every formula I create starts with this question: Would I give this to my family?

If the answer is no, it doesn’t leave the lab.

Why I Created Detoxanation

The first formula I created was Detoxanation—because I realized the first step to healing isn’t adding more. It’s removing what’s blocking your body from functioning right.

The toxic overload from processed foods, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and daily stress doesn’t just weigh you down—it wrecks your digestion, steals your energy, clouds your brain, and builds silently until your body can't take it anymore.

Detoxanation is crafted with 11 organic, evidence-backed ingredients to help:

  • Cleanse your colon and liver

  • Remove heavy metals and waste buildup

  • Restore digestive balance and energy

  • Clear brain fog

  • Reignite your vitality, naturally

And it works.

A Mission Bigger Than Supplements

But this story isn't just about detoxing the body.

It’s about detoxing your life—from the lies you’ve been fed, the junk you’ve been sold, and the cycle you’ve been stuck in.

That’s why Americare Supplements proudly partners with JOY International, an organization fighting to rescue children from sex trafficking and human slavery. Every order helps fuel that mission.

Because real health is freedom. And freedom isn’t just something we defend overseas. It’s something we rebuild right here, every single day.

If You’ve Been Where I’ve Been…

If you’re tired of fake fixes…

If you’re ready to take back your health…

If you want real change, built by someone who’s walked through the fire…

Then welcome to Americare.

You’re not just buying supplements.

You’re joining a movement.
