Our Story
Why every ingredient earned its place, and why some things people expect on the label aren't in the bag.
Where it started
A diagnosis, and a decision.
A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Rather than accept it as something to manage with medication for the rest of his life, he made a decision. He was going to change how he ate.
He cut the refined carbs. He put on a continuous glucose meter and watched what each food did to his blood sugar in real time. He experimented, learned, and reversed it. I had always heard diabetes had no cure, and I had just watched it cured with food.
"I started reading ingredient labels on everything, and what I found was alarming."
What was on the labels
"Healthy" was hiding a lot.
Products marketed as low-carb were loaded with sugar alcohols. Products marketed as clean were bulked with seed oils. Cereals marked "a good source of fiber" had three grams of fiber and forty-two of carbs. Granola and trail mix, which I had assumed were healthy, turned out to be vehicles for more sugar.
I wanted something I could eat every day and feel good about. When I couldn't find it, I started making it.
The rule
If I wouldn't happily eat it every day, it doesn't go in the bag.
