Friday Sep 13, 2024
In this episode I am joined by Jason Karp, Founder and CEO of HumanCo, a next-generation family of trusted brands that make your favorite foods better. Jason’s health and wellness journey began in his early twenties after being diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases and an incurable, degenerative eye disease that threatened to leave him blind by the age of 30. Against all odds, and through a fanatical commitment to making changes to his food and lifestyle, Jason cured himself through cleaner living which led him to HumanCo.
Jason founded HumanCo in 2019 with the goal of creating a movement to demand better and impact real change. As the U.S. food system has grown progressively worse in the last 50+ years by prioritizing convenient and low-quality ingredients and ignoring the long-term harm to our bodies and planet, HumanCo exists to create a movement to demand better and impact real change.
