Hidden Gems: Meet Clarisse Jereza of High Vibe Granola

Today we’d like to introduce you to Clarisse Jereza.

Hi Clarisse, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
For most of my life, I have struggled with energy and gut pain. Feeling lethargic, tired and exhausted despite getting plenty of sleep, having uncontrollable pain in my gut despite a generally healthy lifestyle (or so I thought). For years I was lacking purpose and vigor in life. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, until I learned from a Holistic Functional doctor that I had candida and other gut issues. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition.

Functional Nutrition is based on the tenants that all disease begins in the digestive tract. I started healing my gut with nutrient dense superfoods and seeing the power of food as medicine. By eating a healthy diet ideal for your body, you experience optimal health, balance and wellbeing. I wanted to be of service and share that with others and provide healthier, better-tasting alternatives to what was currently on the market, using the incredibly powerful superfoods that I healed myself . “High Vibe Granola was born.”

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was in no way a smooth road for sure…But I was very determined. I truly believe food is medicine and has the power to transform our health and nourish our bodies with all we need to heal and feel our best. The pandemic took a hit on our business, but like every challenge, we just need to see it as an opportunity. I believed in the potential of High Vibe Granola and explored creative and sustainable ways to still be able to offer it to those who seek it.
