About the Brand

I didn’t grow up thinking much about food. Like a lot of people, I ate whatever was around—junk food, late-night takeout, constant snacking. I had no real awareness of how what I ate (or when I ate) was affecting me.

Over time, that caught up with me.

I was diagnosed with IBS and chronic inflammation, and it turned my life upside down. I felt bloated, tired, anxious, and totally out of control in my own body. Doctors offered medications and generic advice, but nothing really changed—until I started digging into the real root causes.

That led me down a rabbit hole of what we put in and on our bodies, and how much of it is quietly wrecking our health. Additives. Seed oils. Fillers. Preservatives. Even the "healthy" stuff was often full of junk.

So I changed the way I ate.

I started cutting out processed foods, reading every label, and learning where my food actually came from. I found farmers markets, read ingredient lists like they were contracts, and reconnected with what food is supposed to be: nourishing, simple, real.

And it worked.
My symptoms improved. My energy came back. I started to feel good again—physically, mentally, emotionally. Food became a tool for healing and freedom, not just fuel or habit.

Why I Started Simple Sustenance

I created Simple Sustenance to help others do the same—without the guesswork.

Everything we offer is hand-vetted through the same filter I built for myself. No seed oils. No artificial anything. No additives, fillers, or ultra-processed shortcuts. Just real food, chosen with care and delivered with transparency.

Whether you’re starting your own healing journey or just want to eat cleaner without spending hours reading labels and doing research, I built this for you.

Because taking control of your health should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
