Raised in a household that championed natural remedies—like Vitamin C for colds and juicing carrots before it was trendy—Debbie’s passion for health was ignited early. For over 40 years, she has maintained an organic garden, a testament to her belief that a healthy diet is foundational to wellness. She and her husband, Mack, operated a 15-acre certified organic farm, supplying vegetables and melons to Whole Foods in Houston, reflecting her lifelong commitment to sustainable, health-focused living.
On a personal note, Debbie has been married to Mack for 44 years, and together they continue to maintain their family farm, raising cattle, sheep, horses, bloodhounds, and peacocks. Her greatest joy is spending time with her two granddaughters, cheering them on at Horse Playday and Youth Rodeo events. An avid gardener, Debbie views her time in the garden as “therapy for her soul.” Debbie’s warmth, dedication, and holistic philosophy make her a cherished provider at Hotze Health & Wellness Center, where she continues to inspire and empower her patients to live their healthiest, most vibrant lives.
