Get to know me

Hey, I’m Kurin - founder of Healthy Foods & Happy Moods, metal drummer for Nitemare Hippie Children, professional label-reader, chronic overthinker with ADHD, and formerly an obese alcoholic.

After getting sober over 10 years ago, it was time to focus on my health. I tried many fad diets including "the cabbage soup diet", the "lemon juice cleanse", Weight Watchers, Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean, and calorie counting, and none of them worked. Some even led to eating disorders.

After I was introduced to Whole30 in 2018, something clicked and I found out what healthy eating was all about. Being able to eat a lot of food - healthy, whole foods - closest to their natural state, and not have to do math, weigh things, or feel guilty for being human, I went down a rabbit hole of learning how to eat a mostly whole-foods plant-based diet.

In total, I've lost almost 40 pounds (with minimal exercise) so far, cleaned up all my bloodwork, no longer have cystic acne, no longer have chronic joint pain, have more mental clarity each day, have more energy, and am simply in a much, much happier place mentally and physically.

Now, I help people ditch the unhealthy crap (mental and edible), show them how to eat real food that actually tastes good, and live a little louder in the process. Around here, I keep it honest, occasionally sarcastic, and always judgment-free.

If you're tired of feeling like crap and you're ready to get your shit together without giving up flavor, fun, or your sanity, you're in the right place.

Let’s eat better, think better, and live louder - together. 🤘
