InnerTone was born after my personal experience with Post-Partum Depression. I prided myself in my strong cognitive skills to disrupt and regulate intense emotions or negative thoughts, but after giving birth and breastfeeding, I could not control my own outbursts of intense mood. Like anyone in my position, I assumed something was wrong with me. That this was it, I was about to begin the downward spiral of failing mental health with treatment options that would have little to no effect. This frustrated me, and I decided that I was not about to become a statistic. So, I thought about how I had gotten to this state, despite knowing every psych trick in the book, what was I missing? There was one glaring theme: Depletion. From conception to breastfeeding, our tiny babies TAKE, directly from our bodies, consuming every possible nutrient from our tissues, bones, and brain. Our bodies prioritize this and give so that they will survive, healthy. The answer was simple--replenish the precious micronutrients I gifted to my children. The issue was, I had taken the prenatal, ate enough for two, yet I was still depleted. My solution: increase the bioavailability. The best way to do this is usually through whole foods, but I needed higher concentrations. So I chose low ingredient, whole-food powders as my new supplement. The day I drank that first shake, I never had another moment of intense dysregulation, again. From this experience, I decided to challenge myself to design a product line that takes into account an overlooked sphere of Mental Health--Nutrition.
