myHealthyOC.com was a fun little idea I had earlier this year after realizing that there wasn’t a dedicated place where we could easily go to find great health information and learn about the best healthy products and services are in our community.  Leveraging the experience and skills of my marketing company, So Fun Media, I decided to build an outlet where us healthy-minded folks could hang out, learn, share, and buy.

Please contact us here if you are interested in partnering with So Fun Media and myHealthyOC.com, we would love to have you as part of our community!I’m not sure how, but I’ve managed to convince some amazingly talented friends to help me build and grow the platform.  Without these fine folks, myHealthyOC.com would still be a little idea. – Shelley Cloyd, Founder
