The Heart Behind the Village
Kim Russell, PhD · Founder & Executive Director, Morning Glory Ranch
In 2015, my son Mitchell was a strong, healthy kid on the football field. By 2016, his brain was in crisis, and our family's life turned upside down. That's when the Village was born.
We did everything we were told: specialists, prescriptions, ER waiting rooms. Instead of getting better, we got stuck in a cycle of hospital, crisis, arrest, and hospital again. Every time, it felt like starting over. I carried the guilt, the shame, and the worry that can paralyze a parent. Nobody was asking why my son's brain was in crisis.
In 2019, I paused Morning Glory Ranch to fight for him full time. Then Mitchell was trapped in a fire that almost took his life. Standing in that hospital room, looking at the straps holding my son to a gurney, I made a promise: we were not going back into that cycle.
So we did it differently. I kept his body as strong as I possibly could, so his brain could do its own healing, and I measured every step, because hoping wasn't enough. In 2024, Mitchell's speech finally returned.
What I learned is that this is a marathon, and there may not be a finish line. That isn't hopeless. It's freeing.
You are not alone, and you don't have to guess. That's why I keep teaching, and why the Village is here for you.

WHOListic Healing
There's no such thing as mental health — only brain health. From before birth through every breath after, your brain is constantly collecting data — thoughts, feelings, senses, experience — and organizing it into the decisions you make, conscious and subconscious alike. Understanding that system reduces confusion, and reducing confusion makes room for peace, hope, and faith. That's what WHOListic Healing means: addressing the brain, body, and spirit as one connected whole, through proven modalities and compassionate care.

YOUR Brain DESERVES to KNOW
In 15 seconds, know if what you're doing is actually working. Prysm iO turns invisible, everyday choices — food, stress, sleep — into a number you can see, track, and improve. It's not about the technology. It's about taking back control of the one thing you truly can control: what you put into your body and life.

Nourish the Children
Feeding Children Around the World
Since 2002, Nu Skin's Nourish the Children initiative has fed malnourished children in more than 65 countries worldwide. Kim has served as Chief Ambassador since 2011 — a journey that took her to Malawi, the birthplace of the initiative — helping provide more than 900 million meals to children globally.
Every bag of Vitameal donated also helps fund our scholarship program, bringing Nutritional, Movement, and Lifestyle Medicine protocols to families who need them most.
What is VitaMeal? VitaMeal is a nutrient-dense, vitamin- and mineral-fortified meal made to feed malnourished children. Here in the Village, we teach how good nutrition supports the gut-brain connection, and why what we eat matters for brain health.
Nourish the Children Cook-Off Fundraisers: We've hosted cook-offs in the past to benefit Morning Glory Ranch, and more are coming. Watch for details on our next event.

The Village
A place to belong and be heard. No one warns you that loving someone with a brain injury makes you a caregiver too — without a manual, a diagnosis, or anyone checking in on you. The Village is a community of warrior moms and dads who understand, because they've lived it. Real stories, real support, real education — and a place to talk to someone who gets it.
