Starbel

Faced with medications that fell short of expectations, Issie's pediatric gastroenterologist recommended they try anaerobically fermented (also called lacto-fermented) foods to heal and diversify Issie’s diet. This change was transformative—Issie’s list of safe foods went from just 13 ingredients to 33 over the last year, thanks to incorporating lacto-fermented foods. Moreover, Brian's psoriasis resolved completely, and Jacquelyn saw dramatic improvements in her own allergies and energy levels. Their profound healing experiences ignited a passion that led to the creation of Starbel, where they began by selling their products via porch pickups in Montrose—a tradition they continue to this day. They don’t just make superfood elixirs, but also craft other nutritious products like fermented, raw granola. Each product is loaded with bioavailable nutrients and living probiotics, packing more health benefits into one teaspoon than almost any other food you’ll consume all day. And, if the enthusiasm of an almost 4-year-old counts for anything, then these products are as tasty as they are healthy—Issie loves her daily elixirs!
