In today's fast-paced world, convenience and social trends often takes precedence over health. It can be challenging to find products that cater to our unique nutritional requirements and needs. As one of the founders of NVLTY Coffee Co, and a self-professed coffee-lover, I was inspired to create a specialty coffee brand that considers the well-being of all coffee enthusiasts, especially those with dietary restrictions. This week's blog explores my personal journey with health challenges, my transformation, and how NVLTY Coffee Co aims to provide a balance between indulgence and health.
Working as a higher education administrator in a chaotic and high-stress environment, I developed a number of health issues and struggled with high blood pressure, cholesterol, and managing my blood sugar. Despite attempts to be more mindful and cut back on sugar and fat, the nature of the job and my lifestyle made it nearly impossible. Early mornings, late nights, and back-to-back meetings throughout the day meant that processed foods washed down with multiple cups of sugar-loaded coffee served as the fuel to my days. After facing the reality of diabetes, I was determined to regain control of my health, and my life. This set me on a transformative journey that would shape the brand's mission and values.
My Personal Journey
In addition to my health issues, I began to burnout from the high-stress environment of corporate education and went through a messy and divorce. If that was not bad enough, I also found that I could not fit into my pants any longer and the top button of my shirt collars did not close. I knew that something needed to change, so I dedicated themselves to losing weight. I cut out nearly all sugars, eliminated processed foods and reduced fat in my diet, and made key lifestyle changes including becoming more physically active, quitting my toxic job, and getting more quality sleep each night. I began to be more discerning of ingredients when grocery shopping and cooking and cut back on mindless snacking, and after less than 5 months, I was 40 pounds lighter, more energetic, less stressed, and had a much brighter outlook on life.
The Birth of NVLTY Coffee
Through this personal experience, I recognized the importance of finding a balance between indulgence and health. I realized that many people, particularly coffee enthusiasts, struggle to find products that align with their nutritional requirements, especially when it came to their favorite caffeinated beverage.
Driven by the desire to create a brand that fills this gap, NVLTY Coffee was born. Our mission is to provide coffee enthusiasts with a range of products that not only satisfy their taste buds but also consider their unique dietary needs. We understand that everyone's nutritional needs and preferences are diverse and varied. As such, NVLTY Coffee aims to offer a variety of options to cater to a wide range of dietary requirements. Whether you're seeking low-sugar, low-fat, or plant-based alternatives, NVLTY Coffee has you covered.
Encouraging Research and Balance
As former leaders in higher education, we have a passion for education and are lifelong leaders at our own core. NVLTY Coffee encourages our community to take charge of their health by researching what is genuinely best for their individual needs. The brand emphasizes the importance of finding an appropriate balance and exercising moderation in all aspects of life, including coffee consumption.
The Power of Intentionality and Self-Discipline
Beyond coffee, NVLTY Coffee promotes a holistic approach to well-being. We recognize the value of meditation, exercise, intentionality, and self-discipline in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating these practices, individuals gain an ability to take control of their own lives, enhance their overall well-being and make informed choices that align with their goals.
NVLTY Coffee Co was founded on the belief that coffee enthusiasts should not have to compromise on their health. Through the founder's personal journey of overcoming health concerns and making key lifestyle changes, NVLTY Coffee endeavors to become a brand that empowers individuals to make conscious choices while creating a community of people indulging in their love for coffee. By encouraging research, balance, and holistic well-being, NVLTY Coffee aims to provide a brand that resonates with health-conscious individuals and supports their unique nutritional needs.
