How it started
A few years out of college, while juggling a job in investment banking and working on a startup, I started to wonder: why do I feel 10x more productive some days than others? What are the factors that affect my mood and how I feel on a day to day basis?
I found making improvements to my sleep and excersise more straightforward, but nutrition remained a mystery. With so many conflicting diets, I wanted a simple, science-backed approach. To me, a great meal should fuel my day and set me up to feel great in 40 years.
After testing different diets and diving deep into nutrition research, I landed on a few non-negotiables: high protein, organic natural ingredients, no seed oils, and reduced microplastics. With dozens of meal services out there, I assumed one would fit—but after trying many of them, I felt like I was always sacrificing something.
So, I teamed up with some like-minded friends to build my perfect meal service.
I hope it's your dream meal service too. If not, email me at chris@shoplocale.com and let me know how we can make it better.
