I am Kelly Litynski, Mrs. Minnesota American. I am the proud wife to Kirk Litynski whom I just adore. We are a blended family with 3 daughters, 1 son, 2 dogs and 2 cats.

I have the best career I could ask for as I am a Registered Nurse. I love caring for people, making them feel safe and comfortable and giving them the most positive experience possible.

In my younger years I spent 3 years of my life cheering for the Minnesota Vikings NFL team. During that time I was lucky enough to travel with the team to Berlin Germany and Tokyo Japan. It was an experience of a lifetime.

I am extremely proud and honored to be the Mrs. Minnesota American Queen. I was born and raised here and can’t think of a better state to represent. Wish me luck at Nationals!

After completing her pre-requisite coursework, Christen transferred to the Medical College of Georgia where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science in 2008.  After serving two years in critical care at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, GA, she was accepted into the Hamot School of Anesthesia as the youngest in her class at 24 years old.  After two rigorous years of study, including rotations at the famed Cleveland Clinic, she graduated and credentialed as a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist) in 2012. 

Since graduating, Christen has served this great country from coast to coast.  She has serviced patients in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Oregon and Georgia.  The mother of two, Annisten (5) and John Oxford (2) currently resides in metro Atlanta where she provides Anesthesia services for United Digestive. 

At the onset of Covid-19, Christen and her husband Michael founded Bambū as a way to unite our country in support of our healthcare heroes.  Using her husband’s marketing and web design skills, and her network of healthcare providers; together they have worked to distribute bracelets to healthcare workers as a tangible reminder of appreciation in these trying times. 

From utilizing her anesthesia skills to servicing the mental needs of the medical community with a tangible reminder – Christen is truly honored to embrace the role as Mrs. Georgia American 2020.

Sabrina’s Story

Although she has been working with herbs since she was a young child, Sabrina suffered from poor health for many years. Her family sold fresh herbs at a local farmer’s market from the time she was 5 years old and she would help at the market. There, the local farmers taught her about natural living, as well as some of the unnatural farming methods.
Her mother was involved with the International Herb Association and Sabrina grew up under the tutelage of this culinary and medicinal organization. Her mother’s best friend, an Ojibwa Indian, taught her all about holistic medicine and essential oils. In fact, she got her first essential oils kit, along with a book on aromatherapy, back in 8th grade.
Unfortunately, for many years she suffered from health issues, including undiagnosed food allergies and sensitivities, and was on 10 different medications by the time she was a young woman. She was taking medicine for AD/HD, allergies, feminine and digestive/intestinal issues.
Shortly after that, Sabrina accepted the Lord. As she started attending events with her church family and friends, she realized that she would get sick every time she ate at events and outings. She realized that she could not tolerate dairy and took it out of her diet.
However, this fear of eating foods that would make her sick evolved into an eating disorder. She suffered from bulimia for over a year and had dysmenorrhea. She was down to only eating a handful of foods. She told Dr. Z, “I need help. I don’t know what to eat anymore.”
She decided to go on a 10-day water fast, based on the scripture, Isaiah 58. On day 3, she started detoxing from her pores. And she took it on faith:
“I asked God to lift this burden. I really felt that I was ready. I had already weaned myself off or close to off of some of the medicines, but I just knew that God would heal my body. And I was able to get off of all those prescription drugs. Praise the Lord. I knew God was going to perfect those things that concern me.”
After meeting Dr. Z, she learned about things that were not healthy for her body, like wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, and soy among other things. Over the years, the adjustments she made helped her develop the many recipes on NaturalLivingFamily.com and in the book she co-authored with Dr. Z, “The Essential Oils Diet.”
Additionally, she learned many hacks for eating out, vacationing, and other events to keep safe and healthy. Dr. Z and Mama Z used these tips and tools to develop their website as well as the many masterclasses, cookbooks, and other items they offer.
Dr. Z and Mama Z’s mission is to educate people so they, too, can live the abundant life!
