In this episode, I'm joined by fitness guru and founder of Bloom Nutrition, Mari Llewellyn. After losing 90 pounds and transforming her health in the process, Mari gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what inspired her to create her viral brand, Bloom Nutrition. She also shares with us her journey with birth control and what you need to know about its implications on your hormones. Plus, we dive into why you can't supplement your way out of a poor diet and how we navigate the growing presence of toxic body positivity when talking about health and wellness.

Mari Llewellyn is a popular fitness guru, successful entrepreneur, and avid mental health advocate. Specifically, she is the founder of the viral health sensation, Bloom Nutrition. At 250 pounds, Mari hit rock bottom, both mentally and physically. She decided to take ownership of her health and with the help of her now-husband, Greg, she was able to lose 90 pounds and finally find self-love. Llewellyn documented her astonishing mental and physical health journey via her online platforms which garnered her over 2M combined unique followers. She completely transformed her future and has now dedicated her life to help women from all backgrounds reach their full mental and physical potential. Through this mission, she launched Bloom Nutrition which is completely self-funded and grown through her owned platforms.

Bloom Nutrition is unique in that it was created by a woman with a real and relatable journey. Fitness helped Llewellyn bloom into her best self, and in turn she was inspired to help other women do the same by creating health supplements not only with high quality ingredients, but that also tasted delicious. Bloom Nutrition products are approachable and tasty health supplements designed to fuel your fitness journey and give your body the nutrients it needs to bloom. Since launch, Bloom has skyrocketed in growth with their Greens and Superfoods becoming their signature product. Now with over 1.5 million bottles sold, Bloom’s greens are now the top selling greens powder in the United States. Bloom is projected to be a $100M company in 2023.
