EXECUTIVE PROFILE: Gale Jungemann-Schulz

In 2013 Gale Jungemann-Schulz received an invitation from friends to visit their new business because (as a former social worker with health and skilled care experience) she would “get it.” The business was OsteoStrong, a highly researched system to develop bone density, increase muscle strength, improve balance and decrease pain using a process known as Osteogenic loading. Over the next year Gale interviewed members and personally participated in the system. “I was blown away by the testimonials and the outcomes for individuals facing a variety of health issues. More than that, it was clear that this was a system which could benefit everyone; not only those diagnosed with Osteoporosis, MS, Diabetic Neuropathy, and issues related to aging such as reduced balance, risk of fracture, etc.” “At the time I was not even aware of the value for healthy, active adults, young people, and athletes!”
By May of 2014 she introduced the system to Dr. Derek Albrecht; in June they decided this was wellness program they wanted to introduce to the state of California. With partner James Hellerman, they incorporated as JDG-OS Enterprises, LLC and became Regional Developers of OsteoStrong Southern California , opening their first location at 25190 Hancock Ave., Suite C, Murrieta.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
Be open to all possibilities! Follow your passions. Be a positive influence for at least one person every day.
“I was not looking for a business opportunity or a new location, but there it was—a business that fit my personal passion for providing a positive change in people’s lives. I had experienced, through my clients and family members, the devastation of osteoporosis, painful recovery from strokes, MS, Neuropathy, and chronic joint and back pain. OsteoStrong is my opportunity to provide a positive outcome for people, healthy or health challenge. A bonus is doing this with great partners in a friendly and welcoming community!”

GOALS: I would like everyone to see the truly amazing changes I have seen in people who have taken part in the OsteoStrong experience. It is really the reason I opted to change career paths and relocate my life.
