BLACKWOOD — Yara Waples opened up her business called Juice Capitol in 2021 in Blackwood, but before she had the brick and mortar she was delivering her juices from her car. Waples refers to herself as a “juiceologist,” a health professional who uses fresh and nutrient dense fruit juices to help clients enhance their health. Waples’ business took off due to her successful suggestion to friends suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to do a 30 day juice fast. Her friends shared on social media about how their medications failed but the juices worked.

Juice Capitol has a variety of juices and smoothies but during Covid-19 some people chose to do Waples juice regiment instead of taking the vaccine because of how her juices boost the immune system.

“When you believe in your heart and you manifest it outside it comes true,” says Waples. “Anyone that comes here with high blood pressure or diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, or cancer because I believe what the Lord provides they can get healed.”

Juice Capitol is located at 1031 Little Gloucester Road and their juice cleanses are on their website.
