Stacey Luppino
Stacey resides in Little Egg Harbor with her husband William Funaro, Jr. In 1995, Stacey tragically lost her mother, her best friend. Shortly thereafter, her father was diagnosed with cancer. After a courageous battle, her father passed away in 2007. Sadly, her brother has also been diagnosed with cancer. Because of her strong family history of cancer, Stacey knew she had to adopt a healthy lifestyle rich in anti-oxidants and whole food nutrition. She did extensive research and began taking Juice Plus+ to supplement her diet. Stacey now believes she is healthier today then she was 10 years ago!
Currently, Stacey is Office Manager at Tomorrow’s Wellness Center in Northfield, NJ. Stacey enjoys working with Dr. Hernberg because of the “holistic” approach he takes towards helping patients. Stacey loves the fact that Dr. Hernberg helps his patients to feel good and look their best.
Stacey is very close with her nieces, brother, and sister-in-law. She enjoys spending time at the beach, boating, and fishing as well as vacationing in Florida.
