Javier Smith
Hey, I’m Javier Smith, founder of Replenish. I grew up in the rural hills of northwest Maryland, where I first learned about natural healing from my Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. That early connection to nature, paired with a background in exercise science and a deep curiosity for wellness, shaped everything I do today.
Replenish was born out of real stories. People I met while volunteering with the American Cancer Society were struggling through treatment and looking for something more natural to support their bodies. I knew there had to be a better way.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me diving into books. I'm especially drawn to the ideas of Noam Chomsky and Thomas Sowell. I love exploring different perspectives and learning how systems shape our lives, which also fuels my passion for building more human-centered solutions in healthcare.
