Founder Story

Some of life’s biggest transformations start with a simple realization. For me, it was understanding that wellness isn’t about following trends—it’s about making the most wholesome choices possible within my environment.

I wasn’t always focused on food. I ate what was available, without much thought about whether it was processed or wholesome. But when I started paying attention, I realized how small, intentional food choices could have a big impact.

This realization led to Wholesometarian, a lifestyle rooted in eliminating as much processed food as possible and focusing on real, nutrient-dense foods.

 While hydration, movement, and rest play a role, prioritizing wholesome food choices has been the key to my personal health and well-being.

Curious about how I shifted from not thinking about food to embracing Wholesometarianism?

The name Wholesometarian reflects my desire to make the best possible choices within my environment. My journey wasn’t about perfection but about cutting back on processed foods as much as possible and choosing whole, real ingredients whenever I could.

One of my earliest influences was my best friend, who had always embraced a holistic, natural lifestyle. She shaped my perspective on healthy, whole products, reinforcing my belief in real food over artificial alternatives.

As I deepened my understanding, I also started learning from experts whose insights helped shape Wholesometarian’s foundation:

For me, the biggest transformation came from eliminating as much processed food as possible and prioritizing wholesome, natural foods.

Key Changes I Made:

✔ Switched to whole, unprocessed foods, avoiding artificial ingredients.

✔ Stopped using microwaves and air fryers, choosing traditional cooking methods to preserve nutrients.

✔ Prioritized grass-fed beef and a high-protein diet for sustained energy and muscle function.

✔ Started taking a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt before drinking water to improve hydration and mineral balance.

✔Incorporated fasting to activate autophagy, allowing my body to detox and regenerate naturally.

While nutrition has been my foundation, I also made small lifestyle adjustments that support my overall well-being:

Wholesometarian started as my personal journey, but it has grown into a movement.

💛 Cooking with my best friend in my teens and 20s deepened my love for homemade, nourishing meals.

💛 My sons made cooking fun through friendly competitions.

💛 Friends and family inspired me with simple, mindful habits.

💛 Zeeshan and Jenny helped bring science-backed insights to Wholesometarian’s foundation.

Through sharing our experiences, more people resonated with the idea that wellness isn’t about strict rules—it’s about making the best choices within your environment.

This isn’t just about me—it’s about a growing movement.
