Good morning everybody and welcome to this morning's call. This is our very first health, wellness and Dr. Nugent call for 2026. So happy new year to each and every single one of you wherever you're tuning in from this morning. For those of you that don't know me, my name is Chenade Pollock and I am the general manager of Mannatech here based in Sydney. It's a very warm 32 degrees this morning and heading for higher temperatures. So please stay safe and hydrated wherever you are today if you're going to be impacted by the heat wave that we're currently experiencing. Now, this morning we're going to kick off with our very favorite speaker, and I'm allowed to say that because we all know it's true. Mannatech's chief science and health officer and chairman of our global scientific advisory board is Dr. Steve Nugent who has more than 40 years of experience in the area of integrative medicine. He has tested more than 6,000 dietary supplements and formulated more than 160. He is internationally recognized as an expert in his field and has been teaching doctors for more than 30 years. He is Mannatech's most requested speaker worldwide. Dr. Nugent has earned the title of doctor in ways that I think we can't even imagine. He has earned multiple degrees graduating with top honors at both the undergrad and the graduate levels. His areas of study include integrative medicine, health and wellness psychology, leadership psychology, organizational psychology, neuropsychology, biological anthropology, nutrition science and business administration. That's a lot. Dr. Nugent has served as the president of the International Association of Complementary Medicine and is the president emeritus of the American Naturopathic Medical Association. He is also a professional member of the American College of Nutrition. Dr. Nugent was also the very first recipient of the Servant's Heart Award, which is an honor given to a Mannatech employee from our Mannatech associates. He was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He has served his country with honor as a US Marine. Has been a resident of Texas for almost two decades but these days he comes to us live from his home in Florida. So good morning Dr. Nugent. Welcome. Always a pleasure, always a joy. And we're very excited to hear you're going to share this morning about why supplements are important and what's so unique about Mannatech.
And before I start, I want to say thank you for inviting me on the call. Happy New Year to everyone in Australasia. And we've got some good stuff to talk about this morning. In fact, I would say probably the most important question in our business is why do I need supplements? Why should I take them at all? And then the second question obviously is, well, why Mannatech supplements? Why not somebody else's? So, we're going to take care of those questions this morning.
