Food Pharmacy is one of the most well known health brands in Sweden, and was founded in 2014 by Lina Nertby Aurell and Mia Clase.
It all started with the losses of one mum, one aunt and one dear friend to cancer. These three strong and vital, deeply loved women who were way too young, all passed away within a year and left them with so many questions. Lina and Mia felt like their future was chained to some sort of health lottery where they could only hope that the genes they had been given were not too bad. However shortly after, their paths crossed with that of an 85 year old professor who had spent almost an entire life studying what makes us sick. One of the first things he taught them was that we have more power than we might think when it comes to staying healthy and preventing diseases. Suddenly a door to a whole new world opened, and this information was quite simply, mind boggling. They strongly felt an urge to reach out and share this life saving knowledge with ordinary people. The meeting with the professor was the start of a long journey where as a result, over the following years they have had the privilege to meet with and interview a good many, remarkably accomplished experts within the health domain. Today Food Pharmacy is well-known for its blog, podcast, its supplement brand and three bestselling, award winning books translated into 15 languages. Lina and Mia have been guests on Swedish TV, radio, and podcasts numerous times, are frequent lecturers and just recently, moderated a big seminar at the Swedish Parliament on food and health.
Food Pharmacy is eager to take its Scandinavian award winning concept and share it with the world in the fight against the global burden of lifestyle related diseases.
Imagine a classic weight loss diet program. Now, take that program and throw it in the trash. There is no shame-blaming in the world of Food Pharmacy and all body types are welcome. Food Pharmacy call themselves Nutrient Hunters and the primary focus when filling their plates is on what healthy stuff to add rather than what to exclude.
Food Pharmacy is one of the most well known health brands in Sweden and was founded in 2014 by Lina Nertby Aurell and Mia Clase. The mission of Food Pharmacy is to improve public health. Lina and Mia empower and inspire people to eat healthier, through their three bestselling books, their highly appreciated platform foodpharmacyco.com (where international experts share their knowledge on food and health, and chefs share delicious recipes), their podcast ”The Food Pharmacy Show” and their premium quality supplements ”Nutrient Hunter by Food Pharmacy”
Lina is a political scientist and worked as Deputy Vice President at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce. During these years she was based in Stockholm and responsible for East Africa, and some regions in Asia and Latin America. Mia is a copywriter and worked as a creative director at some of the largest advertising agencies in Stockholm. She also spent a few months working in New York.
A few years ago Lina And Mia became aware of the statistics that clearly showed that not only were the number of cases of lifestyle related diseases growing exponentially, but also that an increasing number of younger people were affected by lifestyle retaliated diseases. And how could it even be possible that bad eating habits was the biggest risk of getting ill or dying too early today, and furthermore that these so-called bad eating habits were to a certain extent the ”new normal” when it came to eating habits? They learnt that health care today almost entirely focuses on treating sick people even if research shows that the majority of the diseases affecting us today could be easily prevented. It became so evident that many times even small changes can do miracles to our health.
They strongly felt an urge to share and reach out to ordinary people with this life saving knowledge. So Food Pharmacy was born to empower the people and improve public health.
