The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw

TWR 319: Joel Kocher: The Importance of Nitric Oxide For Women’s Health + Midlife Business Success

Did you know beets can boost your heart health and energy levels? In this episode on the Wellness Revolution podcast, I am joined by Joel Kocher, a successful tech executive turned health entrepreneur. Joel shares how he discovered the power of nitric oxide and beets to support cardiovascular health, leading him to start SuperBeets. 

We discuss that as we women age, our natural nitric oxide production declines significantly, but supplements like SuperBeets can help restore levels to support healthy blood pressure, circulation, and energy. We also dive into valuable insights on entrepreneurship in midlife, the importance of passion and having the courage to “take the shot” even if you’re afraid of failure.

Joel Kocher has over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the technology industry in companies ranging from $100 million in revenue to multi-billion. He is recognized for presiding over Dell’s explosive growth in the early to mid 1990’s as its number 2 executive behind founder Michael Dell during the company’s meteoric rise to the Fortune 500. After he left Dell, he held a broad set of leadership positions in both private and public companies before co-founding Humann, the makers of SuperBeets, America’s #1 Beet Brand and the #1 Doctor, Pharmacist, and Cardiologist Recommended Beet Brand for Heart Health Support. Humann is a recipient of the 2017 Nutrition Science Award by NBJ and a 9-time Inc. 5000 America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies Honoree. Most recently Joel was recognized as an Ernst & Young 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year Regional Winner.
