The Growth of the Natural Supplement Industry within the African American Market

 
 
Kareem Cooke, the CMO of Naturade who has revolutionized the natural supplement with the expansion of their Naturade brand joins eHealth Radio and the Supplement Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kareem Cooke discuss the following:
How did you begin your foray into the health industry and subsequently, Naturade?
What makes Naturade different from its competitors?
How has the obesity and diabetes epidemic impacted your company mission?
Naturade is one of the only black owned products in Costco, what was the process to making that relationship happen?
What can other minority entrepreneurs learn from the Naturade story?
Creating a company with the intention of positively impacting the health of Black America may seem like a lofty goal, but it is one that owners Kareem Cook (CMO) and Claude Tellis (CEO) embarked on with their company, Naturade. Naturade is one of the largest Black-owned natural supplement companies in the United States with a line of products that includes plant-based protein shakes and nutritional shakes in a variety of flavors. Currently the only black owned company in Costco and demanding shelf space in major retailers like Target, Naturade is proof that a Black owned company can thrive in the nutrition and health and wellness space.
After witnessing many of their family members succumb to diet-related illnesses, Kareem and Claude decided to acquire Naturade (which was founded in 1926) in 2012 after successfully launching Healthy Body Products, a healthy vending machine company in 2002 that was pivotal in changing vending laws in California. Today Naturade is a multi-million dollar company backed by power players Magic Johnson and Grant Hill, that is still committed to redefining the core target audience for the natural supplement market, to include African Americans and people of color - those in dire need of healthy alternatives. With the eradication of pre-diabetes as a mission for the brand, Naturade is working steadfastly to provide natural plant-based foods and products to urban communities across the nation.

Yumble, the only kids meal delivery service

 
Joanna Parker, Co-Founder of Yumble, the only kids meal delivery service and a mom of three joins eHealth Radio and the Family, Children’s Health & Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joanna Parker discuss the following:
When did you found Yumble and how did you get your start?
Tell us a bit about your story and why you founded Yumble and how your goal is to help kids eat healthy and help busy parents.
Does this help establish a healthy relationship with kids at an early age?
How have you revamped the New Yumble to meet the needs of busy parents and kids recently?
This is the only kids meal delivery service for kids 4 to 12—tell us how it works? And how do you reward kids?
Summary: The new and improved Yumble, is the first and only meal delivery service that empowers kids to plan and pick their meals and get rewarded for eating healthy. The new Yumble offers a solution to a daily challenge faced by parents everywhere, especially working parents: the obligation to provide nutritionally balanced meals every day that kids will actually eat and enjoy.
Kids can go to yumblekids.com , or the new YumbleKids App, to plan their own meals, choosing from Yumble’s carefully curated menus designed specifically for kid appeal. Meals are ordered via a parent-approved ‘shopping cart’ and delivered straight to your door, ready to heat up and eat up. Kids can accumulate points for making smart choices, such as cleaning their plates and trying new things. Points are tracked on a virtual dashboard, and an exciting rewards catalog helps children set their goals.
Yumble was born after my billionth conversation with friends, complaining about how difficult and frustrating it was to get healthy meals on the tables for our kids every single day. I decided to see if anyone else felt this pain point, so I posted anonymously on a Facebook mommy group. When I offered to cook a week’s worth of meals for strangers (no name, no pictures, no menu!) I was bombarded with so many “Yes! Please! Where do I sign up??” that I had to turn some people away. After delivering the first week of meals - based on a menu I had created on my iphone while I was in Vermont since I didn’t anticipate getting so many immediate orders from that single post - I was again overwhelmed with how many customers wanted meals again the next week, and the week after, and the week after.
When David saw the immediate interest and traction, he jumped on board. We built a simple website that could process orders, brought on Dan Trieman who had previously built Hello Fresh USA from 0 boxes to 100,000 boxes, and very quickly built Yumble into what it is today.
While the idea was born out of my own pain point and sheer need, the inspiration for Yumble really came out of my passion for helping children develop positive, healthy eating habits from a young age. Meal time for kids can be stressful, filled with drama, and unenjoyable. Helping parents avoid this daily negative experience and turning it into a fun, exciting, wholesome one is my passion. I am committed to helping children all across America develop better habits that will last them a lifetime.

Plant-based Soups That Provide the Nutrients Our Bodies Need

 
 
Ilona Kossoff, Founder of 18 Chestnuts, that recently launched their new collection of distinctly nutritious and artistically blended plant-based soups joins eHealth Radio and the Health and Nutrition Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Ilona Kossoff discuss the following
Preparing healthy foods might seem expensive, time consuming and challenging. Is this true or is there an easy way to give our bodies the nutrients we need in a simpler fashion?
Where did the idea for 18 Chestnuts come from?
Can vegan soups really provide our bodies with maximum nutrition absorption?
Where do you source your soup ingredients from?
Where can consumers purchase 18 Chestnuts’ soups?
18 Chestnuts was founded by Ilona Kossoff. After working in law and accounting, and as CFO of a commercial real estate company she co-owned with her husband, Ilona craved a creative outlet. She completed a 200-hour yoga teaching certification and enrolled in the prestigious Cornell University healthy living nutrition certification program.
Ilona had been passionate about nutrition, health, and good food for much of her life – and making soup for just as many years. So when she received her certification from Cornell, it all clicked. This was the creative spark she had been looking for! She spent the next several months learning, creating, and refining, and 18 Chestnuts was born.
