Brian evolved with his diet
In 2018, after battling severe fatigue, digestive pain, and inflammation, Brian was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. After just 2 months on a low-inflammation elimination diet (Autoimmune Protocol), he became symptom-free without medication by simply avoiding the foods that triggered him!
However, committing to the diet was difficult without enough time, money, or cooking skills. He missed his favorite mealtime flavors – specifically Chicken Tikka Masala. So, he went on a quest to find someone who could make an AIP-compliant Tikka Masala dish.

2021 - OCT 2023
After several years investing so much time and energy cooking for himself, Brian talked to chefs about the AIP diet and even worked with several chefs. He still found that healthy, anti-inflammatory food lacked flavor. The pros? The food improved and he saved time. The cons? It was expensive and still many flavors were out of reach.
