What Propelled Unleash LIFE Founders to Help Others Reach Their Full Potential
Tayana Carper will never forget her first pair of basketball shoes, which she wore out as a kid playing street ball at a park in Shrewsbury, Mass.
“They were white And1 sneakers with green soles and lining,” says Tayana, the founder and managing director of Unleash LIFE who goes by the letter “T.”
“Ever since, I’ve loved running fast down the court, passing the ball with my teammates, and hearing the swoosh of a dunk.”
As the small forward on the Division 1 basketball team at the College of Holy Cross, she continued to love the game. But after a decade of playing, her knees started to fail her. Staying up late to study for her psychology major, she felt malnourished and tired. At the same time, she struggled to find a cure for her red and painful cystic acne. “I hurt on the inside and outside.” Read More...

As for Kelly, she was on her way to back surgery when the couple started trying the natural juices. “After years of working at a desk job in corporate America, I had developed excruciating sciatic pain and could barely walk,” she said. “After three different consultations, each doctor recommended surgery as the only option but couldn’t guarantee a fix.”
Within weeks of drinking a turmeric-ginger combination, Kelly’s pain went completely away, as did the digestive problems troubling her for some 20 years. “Even my hair had new luster – I regained the curls from my childhood,” she says. “People said I looked radiant.”
Shortly thereafter, as a personal trainer at Intense Fitness in Oakland Park, T started to make juices for a couple of clients, using a growing list of superfoods and eastern herbs including moringa, wild blue green algae, beets, and arugula.
Feeling stronger and more energetic in a matter of weeks, her clients were able to do exercises they had never dared to attempt. One client with chronic pain saw his back and shoulder issues dissipating within months. With full mobility, he could handle more strenuous workouts, which in turn strengthened his once-aching muscles.
Their hobby becoming a business, they incorporated Unleash LIFE LLC in 2015 and leased a warehouse in Oakland Park.
In charge of Unleash LIFE’s operations, logistics and customer service, Kelly leverages her 30-year career at Hewlett Packard where she oversaw the global Customer Service Department in 12 languages. Under T and Kelly’s combined leadership, the company is scaling rapidly in the expanded warehouse. Earlier this summer, their company won the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce’s 2018 Small Business Award for Health and Wellness.
T has just one regret: “If I had had such juices as a college student, I would have been flying!”
