The creation of the HS Activa products

Josef Hölzl

I am 58 years young, have a unique wife and 2 wonderful teenage daughters. Our current residence has been the Dominican Republic, my wife's home country, for the past 2 years.

In the age of the Internet, I have the advantage of running my business with my employees anywhere in the world .

I was born in Lower Bavaria into an entrepreneurial family. Although I should have joined my family's construction business, I chose a different path. For many years (1985 - 2012) I ran several fitness studios and was dedicated to fitness and health and was very successful in it.

But then the shock...

But sometimes things turn out differently than you think. So I had to suffer for 10 years due to health restrictions : severe allergies, asthma, skin rashes and a number of other side effects...

And... despite my very healthy lifestyle. That gave me a lot to think about at the time.

What is wrong? What's happening here right now? Questions upon questions ...

During this time I learned that "questioning everything" and "perseverance" always lead to solutions.

The one event that changed everything...

After 10 years of suffering, I finally met my quality of life savior, Dr. Michael Spitzbart and ortomolecular medicine specialist Udo Smerd .

They opened my eyes to the fact that we humans can only function if we give our engines what they need to heal themselves.

It was at this time that I realized what my purpose and mission in life was.

That's why I get up every morning...

I want to help people alleviate and heal their suffering. I decided to sell my fitness studios and take care of the miracle that is human beings.

Although classical medicine has already pigeonholed me as a “permanent patient”, my mentor Udo Smerd showed me through my body that nothing, absolutely nothing, is impossible .

Now I enjoy excellent health without any restrictions . Today I'm more than happy that I didn't accept the conventional medical offers, especially since I could see what happened to many of my gym members...

Today I run an international company and have made it my mission to relieve and heal people's suffering in a natural way .

In collaboration with my mentors and reading thousands of pieces of natural knowledge - some of which have been lost - I and my partners develop recipes that help our bodies heal themselves.

Wonderful human being – always fascinating to me...

My motto and my mission is:

“Find the root of your suffering and give your body what it needs to find itself again.”

For me there is nothing more beautiful than a smile from a person who has been freed from their suffering.

Yours, Josef Hölzl

Udo Smerd

From “Ironman” almost to early retirement...

As a high-performance athlete and triathlete, I was at the end of my life at the age of 34.

6 months of dizziness, anxiety, numbness in the hands and feet, dramatic lack of energy, cardiac arrhythmias and even heart muscle spasms almost made an “Ironman” an early retiree .

After some research, I came into contact with orthomolecular medicine , which described exactly what I was missing.

My path to health...

Within a very short time , my health improved dramatically, which inspired me, as a soldier at the time, to change my life and complete a 6-semester course of study and further training in order to work as a nutrition and vital substance specialist and to teach people about the causes of illness.

The resulting development of vital substances led to the meeting with Josef Hölzl after a few years. He first came to me as a patient and a little later it was decided to found Hs Activa (Hölzl-Smerd) .

My goal...

Since then, a large spectrum of vital substances has been developed that can be used specifically with hair analyzes to suit any indication. I see this as my life's work and I hope to be able to benevolently help many more people.

That's why HS Activa products!
