Shaklee Executive Spotlight 2025_ In conversation with TIME CEO Jessica Sibley, Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee, discussed the state of health in the United States and what inspired him to lead a company whose mission was to change people’s health outcomes and help them live better, longer. At the heart of Shaklee’s mission is the idea of healthspan—not just adding years to life, but adding life to years. “Our focus is on well care, not sick care,” Barnett explained. With chronic conditions rising and healthcare spending at an all-time high, the need for prevention is urgent. “I've always wanted to make an impact,” the CEO told Sibley. “My mother dedicated six decades to helping underserved families live better lives, and that deeply influenced me.” Barnett saw healthcare as the greatest opportunity to make a wide-reaching difference—empowering people not just to treat illness, but to prevent it altogether. The good news is that Barnett–and [the science–says it’s possible](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28523941/). “Only about 20% of our health is determined by genetics. The rest is influenced by our lifestyle choices,” he noted. Through clinically proven products, decades of research, and education through community, Shaklee aims to support those choices and improve long-term health outcomes. And the results are there. He cited the Landmark Health Studies, which Shaklee funded in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and Tufts University, which found that long-term users of Shaklee products—spanning 20 to 40 years—had significantly better blood nutrient levels, improved markers of longevity like reduced inflammation and stress, and much lower disease risk. Some users showed up to 97% less reliance on prescription medications compared to those using other supplement brands. For Barnett, that data represents more than just scientific success—it’s a path to real, lasting change. “Helping people feel better about themselves and their health is the most rewarding thing I can do,” he said. “And it’s what keeps me going every day.”  [Find Out More](https://us.shaklee.com/en%5FUS/s/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/"},"headline":"Leading the Shift from Sick Care to Well Care: How Shaklee Is Redefining Health","datePublished":"2026-07-20T09:47:15.903Z","dateModified":"2026-07-20T09:47:07.627Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/","name":"Leading the Shift from Sick Care to Well Care: How Shaklee Is Redefining Health"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Shaklee Executive Spotlight 2025","description":"Shaklee Executive Spotlight 2025","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jw3Kfbkn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2025-06-12T15:55:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jw3Kfbkn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/","duration":"PT4M13S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/branded-content/shaklee/the-wellness-shift-how-shaklee-is-changing-health-for-the-better/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
