Adrienna Hines

Hi, I’m Adrienna. A mama. A wife. A sister. An aunt. A daughter. A friend. A professional. A consultant. A realtor. A lobbyist. A collector of people. And, a cowgirl on a journey to achieve better health. My story is full of ‘grit and grace’ and I finally have found a path forward in my health journey. It’s been years of searching, wondering, losing organs, losing faith in our healthcare system, winding roads to discovery, and finally… finding my people, all over the globe, who have health impacts from amalgam fillings (and so much more), just like me.  

It all started, you guessed it, on the ranch. I was born nearly 50 years ago and raised, with my brother Justin, where our family farmed and ranched outside of Billings, Montana. We raised cattle, hogs, wheat, and barley and from a very young age I wore a ball cap or a cowboy hat, depending on my age. I moved and sorted cows, helped hogs farrow, built fences, ran farm equipment, and helped out wherever needed. I started driving at age 9 - you know, one of those places where everybody is needed to make the family business work. 

I “was a member of the 4H Club and active in the FFA” (kinda’ like the Dixie Chicks, but FOR REAL) and had many projects including, but not limited to, hogs, steers, sewing, canning, embroidery, and goats! A farm and ranch kid has to be well-rounded. The community I was raised in was built around family and the land, and everyone helped each other, no matter the circumstance. I loved my childhood and have so many amazing memories and stories from growing up on the ranch.  

Today, I live roughly four hours from the ranch as I’ve settled into life and my career. I will eventually live back on the land where I grew up and I’m looking forward to that simpler life again, especially as the world continues to change and seeking solace continues to be the goal. The ranch IS my happy place – the ancestral pull, the land, the air, and the idea of an old/fresh start.
