Today we’d like to introduce you to Coree Jo Costa.
Coree Jo, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I’m a child of the ’80s my parent’s ability to raise my brother and I in a relatively sugar-free house, a place where we sat down together every single night for a home cooked meal, has been my Lighthouse. I was struck by the reality of food as medicine in my early teens.
One of my favorite humans was diagnosed with cancer, when nearing his end it was recommended that he become vegan to aid his body in whatever chance he had to survive, I was devastated that this wasn’t information he had prior to his dis-ease. In my 30’s I began to exercise a rebellion to this fast food nation and in 2017 created my business, The Juiciest Fruit.
Each of our bodies is a sacred garden, technically a 30 trillion celled garden, and we have to tend to it daily if we expect to reap anything bountiful Each cell has a job to do, and its survival is based on our ability to nourish it, I educate my clients on how to tend to those intentions.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I’m a deliriously positive person, and struggles are pretty quickly absorbed as lessons.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with The Juiciest Fruit – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I’m proud of my business mission to educate and inspire my community, my lifestyle is an example of the change I seek. I’ve had the same quote on my fridge for most of my adult life, “example is not the main factor in influencing others, it is the only one” Albert Schweitzer. I eat, create meal plans and cater parties each in the same manner, being environmentally and scientifically aware.
In an almost auto-immune based approach, I use food to calm inflammation and discourage micro-biome disruption. On a grander scale, I use eating as my political vote (seasonal, local, plastic-free) and genuinely partake in the preservation of our planet. When we live life with authentic intention we find balance, this is my effort in coaching.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I plan to see every sunset, ha. Work-wise though, I’m always looking forward to the collaborations that arise organically from the path of authenticity.
I’m so fortunate to have found a “product” that I can share instead of sale, my goals changed when I found that passion.
