Our Story


Claudia

Hello, I’m Claudia—welcome!

I opened Health Foods by Claudia in 1990, but my journey into natural health began long before that. I often credit my mother, whose simple yet powerful wisdom shaped everything I do today. She taught us that the quality of the food we eat matters, and that supporting our health should always come first.

Inspired by her, I developed a deep passion for natural wellness. From the age of 16 through my 30s, I worked in a local health food store where I immersed myself in learning about herbs, vitamins, and holistic healing. During that time, I witnessed the incredible impact natural health can have—helping thousands of people improve their well-being.

Now, with over 40 years of experience, I’m honored to share that knowledge with you. Health Foods by Claudia is more than a store—it’s a place for learning, growth, and empowerment. Alongside my husband and sons, we are proud to be a family-owned and operated business serving the Toledo community.

We are a full-service health food store offering a wide selection of high-quality vitamins, minerals, herbs, and homeopathic remedies. Our knowledgeable team of Supplement Specialists is here to guide and support you on your wellness journey.

In addition, we carry bulk herbs and spices, certified organic coffee, fresh produce, premium essential oils and accessories, natural pet food, and a large body care department free from parabens and synthetic ingredients. We also offer raw local honey, locally raised grass-fed beef, pork, and eggs—supporting family farms that prioritize both your health and the environment.

To further share our passion for natural health, we host a weekly podcast, Good Health by Claudia with Denny, where we dive deeper into wellness topics, answer common questions, and empower listeners with practical, real-life knowledge. New episodes are released every Tuesday on YouTube and Facebook.

We believe that mindful living is the foundation of true wellness, and that knowledge is the key to empowerment. Thank you for visiting—we’re so glad you’re here.
