In 1979, Frank’s life changed forever after reading a book on natural health: He was so captivated by the learnings of the book that he gave up his career to open a health food store and share his passion with the world.

He said to his wife Grace, “I would really love to open a health food store so I can do this full-time!” They had just put a deposit on a block of land and were planning to build their new home. Grace always wanted a new house. Frank said “Darling, do we build a new home or do we open a. health food store?” They discussed it and Grace said “It’s your passion.

Let’s open a health food store and we can build the house another day!” To this day, every time Frank tells the story it still brings tears to his eyes.

On 1s November 1982, on his 28th birthday, Frank opened his health food store to follow his dream to help people live healthier lives. In 1988, Frank started publishing a newspaper called “Health News”. Health News was distributed to over one million homes every quarter. At the time and for over 6 years, it was the largest circulated tabloid newspaper in Australia.

After working in his store for 13 years, Frank realised that not many health companies were as passionate as he was about natural living, so in 1995, Frank started his own vitamin brand called Totally Natural Products.

In 2012, he decided to change the brand name to Caruso’s Natural Health. Frank said “It’s my family name, I’m the founder of the company, so I thought it was appropriate to change the brand to Caruso’s!” Today, Caruso’s Natural Health is distributed to over 2500 pharmacies and health food stores nationally.

In 2016, Frank was presented with the complementary medicines most prestigious prize, the “Lady Cilento Award for Lifetime Achievement.” The award acknowledges the individual’s professionalism, contribution of outstanding merit and reflection of high aspirations benefiting the complementary healthcare ethos.

Frank truly believes that if you take responsibility for your own health, and embrace the principles of natural living you can live a long, healthy and vibrant life.

His motto: “Make time for good health and you will always have enough health for a good time!”
