Company Performance Metrics
- John Schmidt: Founder
Through their meal planning app, blog, books, and work, Forager is dedicated to making sense of the endless information they are bombarded with in the modern world.
Believing that true fulfillment lies beyond modern materialistic technology and lifestyles, Forager aims to guide people towards a balanced and healthy life free of addiction and
disease.
Understanding that their minds and bodies exist in an environmental mismatch, Forager aims to help people get in tune with the perspectives their ancestors had 100s of generations ago without disowning modern day lifestyles and technology. While they can travel across the planet in one day, enjoy diversity of foods from all cultures, and live a life of relative health and safety, this cultural progress has led to widespread societal problems that threaten the individual and potentially the earth as a whole.
Diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and auto-immune conditions along with moderate ailments such as chronic fatigue and migraines are all increasing in societies who adopt the “western” way of life. Depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses are also on the rise globally, and it seems that the more “progress” they make the more precarious the situation for the people who reside on this planet is. In fact, it seems that as they become more sedentary and unhealthy as a people, the earth itself becomes more polluted and societal unrest increases day by day.
