Joe has dedicated his career aligning with superior nutritional products that help support wellness and a healthy lifestyle.

Beverly Hollister

CMO and Founder, Tibena®

Recognized by “The Utah Business Magazine” as one of Utah’s “Most Powerful Businesswomen,” a “Business Woman to Watch” and named the 9th most influential woman in direct sales globally was indeed an honor.

I’ve passionately pursued health, wellness, and the advancement of a healthy, longevity life span. In my twenties, I became a caregiver for my Mom, who was dying of cancer. In contrast, this leads me to my passion and lifelong career to continually find a better way of health through nutrition and lifestyle choices.

As the CMO of the Direct Sales Division of the largest Nutritional Company in the world, I learned the wisdom of an integrative approach with herbs and nutritional formulations.

During my career, I aligned with former business colleagues and friends to market the first patented, whole-fruit mangosteen beverage and products selling over $2.5 billion cumulatively. It was pure exhilaration!

I have been blessed with my husband as my business mentor and partner and attracting great business mentors who are some of my closest friends. My greatest creation and joy is my daughter, Dr. Amy Savagian. It’s pure bliss that she continues to expand my education, consciousness, and awareness in lifestyle, performance, and longevity science. It brings me great joy to observe how she partners with her patients for optimal health plans that include whole food nutrition, so they are healthier, happier, and fulfilled.

Why an owner, founder, and launch the company of Tibena®?
Passion, Knowledge, Experience, and Belief! I was an investor in our first Herbal Tea Formula, Jasmine Tao. I started sipping our first Herbal Tea to assist with intermittent fasting and my low carb lifestyle choice. I released 20 lbs as well as excess body fat, especially around my midsection after using Jasmine Tao Herbal Tea as a tool throughout the day, along with intermittent fasting and my low carb lifestyle. I had been on keto and low carb and released some weight; however, my drastic change came with adding Jasmine Tao Herbal Tea. I had tried many herbal teas to help me with fasting; however, I was not successful as I would get massive migraines and feel physically sick until Jasmine Tao. Why? What was different about this herbal tea? My background is research, product development, and marketing. I’ve worked with over 350 Ph.D.’s throughout my career, and I’ve been responsible for launching thousands of nutritional products, pills, capsules, protein shakes, bars, instant powders, etc. Research is key. Intrigued, I researched each herb and all the studies I could locate and discovered to my delight that yes, the Adaptogenic Herbs in our Herbal Tea formula helped balance and bring my body back to homeostasis as these studies indicate. These Adaptogenic herbs are bio-directional and worked with my body’s needs as they work with the HPA Axis.

I discovered how these Indigenous sourced Adaptogenic whole food plants, mushrooms, and nutrient-dense companion herbs help balance the endocrine system as the earliest research from Russia showed.  They help the body modulate stress, thus helping to balance cortisol along with the multitude of other whole food nutritional benefits of the companion herbs.

What is Tibena®’s focus? Pure Adaptogenic Herbs, mushrooms, and nutrient-dense companion herbs are drawing upon the ancient forms of healing for optimum health and vitality.

With the unparalleled leadership from my business partner, Joe Morton, and our experience of quality sourcing, operations, manufacturing, and growing brands for the past 20 years, Tibena® was born! Joe and I have aligned with the highest quality suppliers. Organoleptic testing ensures proper appearance, color, aroma, and flavor. Microscopic and Macroscopic inspection for foreign matter, HPTLC for identification to verify purity and authenticity, ICP-MS for heavy metal analysis testing, Microbiology testing for pathogens such as E.

Our manufacturer complies with current Good Manufacturing Practices with protocols firmly in place for documentation and validation of cGMP Compliant.

Even though each herb has been tested for “Heavy Metals” and we add a second “Heavy Metal Testing” to ensure all our herbs are of the purest quality.

In summary, Tibena®’s trade-secret herbal tea blends deliver Ancient Adaptogenic Herbs (Traditional Chinese Medicine Tonics and Ayurvedic Medicine (the world’s oldest holistic healing systems), and companion herbs helping our bodies modulate stress, restore balance, enhance physical and mental performance. Relaunching, rebranding, and telling the story of these unique trade secret whole food plant blends is exhilarating.
