Nesting in the village of Sag Harbor wellNEST is bringing people together to share a journey of sustainable health and well being. wellNEST offers the finest nutraceutical vitamins from the renowned Richard Ash, MD, a gallery of the most beautiful, eco practical housewares, personal care items, handmade wooden eyeglasses, the finest cold pressed organic juices, juice cleanses and raw food goodies. Most importantly we want to embrace you in our NEST and share information on how you and your family can live a better life, from the inside out.

It all started with Richard Ash, MD, a New York internist's journey to wellness. As a sufferer of inflammatory arthritis, he rejected the toxic medications prescribed to him and healed himself through altering his body's PH balance and his hypersensitivity reactions to his everyday diet and environment. That transformation changed both his life and the way he practiced medicine at The Ash Center in New York City. He has been educating the public for the past 17 years hosting the radio talk show for WOR 710AM, 'Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired.'

wellNEST offers a myriad of delights.

Dr. Ash knew his story was not unique and decided that he wanted to share what he had learned and his success with others. He believed that healing alternatives ought to be made accessible to everyone and therefore created wellNEST. Together with Rachel Paletsky, who brought her creativity and artistic vision to the project, and Dr. Ash's passion and commitment to natural healthy living, a new movement, wellNEST, was born.

Dr. Ash comments "Our spirits guided us to wellNEST. It was to be our home. A historic Captain's House built in Sag Harbor, New York in the 1750s. With the original timber beams, uneven floors, numerous nooks and crannies and a friendly Ghost, we moved in and made it a very special place. Keeping all the bones and blemishes, removing and uncovering the modern ugliness, we restored our white house to its humble beauty. It is a prime example that restoring history is really part of our sustainable mission."

About Dr. Richard Ash, MD
Dr. Ash is an internal medicine specialist who is a leader in the field of environmental medicine. Once a victim of his toxic environment, he realized there were no current methods of treatment that could deal with the toxicity in his body that was causing illness and fatigue. A graduate of the Medical College of Pennsylvania and having done personal research in alternative therapies, he developed a program that achieves dramatic, lasting improvement for patients who have not found relief from conventional methods. Dr. Ash's philosophy is based on treating the body as a whole. He believes that traditional medicine has failed because it concentrates on treating a patient's symptoms rather than treating the cause of the problem.

Additionally, Dr. Ash educates the public on survival in today's polluted environment through his radio talk show, "Sick & Tired of being Sick & Tired?," live global broadcast at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each Sunday on WOR 710AM in New York and through various publications. Dr. Ash has made numerous radio and television appearances including "America's Talking" with Carol Martin and ABC's "World News Tonight" with Peter Jennings. Now in its 17th consecutive
;year on WOR 710AM, "Sick & Tired of being Sick & Tired?" offers the best of both worlds in medical practice: traditional as well as alternative care. Dr. Ash strives to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, thereby getting at the exact cause of each complaint. His input with each caller on the air explores prevention as the best treatment and discusses useful and practical approaches to all their Health and Nutritional concerns.
