Our Story
At EVERMIND, we take a sensible approach to brain health that’s mind-positive, rooted in science, and made with clean ingredients to help improve the way people think and feel.
HOW WE BECAME
EVERMINDERS
Just a few years ago ...
Jordan goes from the frying pan of medical school to the fire of residency, 80-hour weeks, too little sleep and sunlight, too many Red Bulls and Vanilla Lattés, ‘convenience’ food skills (could eat a fast food burger while running up six flights of hospital stairs), body and brain fatigue as a result.
Tessa working long hard hours at the hospital. Meets Jordan. (It’s a long story that involves brownies and a misinterpreted note.) Fell in love. Had the time of our lives.
Tessa injures shoulder, makes career pivot to business school and entrepreneurship. Graduates and gives birth to a daughter the next day! Jordan graduates residency. We marry. Start ‘normal’ life—new house, new jobs. Have a second daughter . . .
Stretched thin on all fronts. Compassion fatigue. Sleep deprivation. Mom brain. Dad brain. More poor lifestyle choices to fuel the engines (we’re looking at you, Cheetos and RedBull) Ironically, Jordan repeatedly hears the same patient complaints in his clinical practice—brain fog and fatigue.
With a family history of Alzheimer’s and Dementia (we loved our grandparents), we seriously considered our own brain health and unsustainable path. We were ‘high achievers’ life-hacking our way to success, but honestly, we just wanted to feel better, more like ourselves.
Worked up the courage to stop the spiral. Made some disgusting kale juice. Got better at making kale juice. Made lots of diet and lifestyle changes. Tessa and Jordan (love to adventure together) got into running, cycling, yoga. Tessa (loves to cook) introduced a mostly plant-based diet to the family and tried all the drinks that were supposed to help you stay focused and reduce stress. Jordan (loves to research) dived deep into neuroscience, nutrition, mindfulness.
Still, we wanted to go beyond the status quo, wanted more mental clarity, a real connection between food, brain health, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing—and delicious! In an attempt to better understand the problem, we ended up creating a product.
We founded Evermind to share with you. We hope you enjoy it.

What We
Believe
WE BELIEVE YOUR BRAIN IS THE CORE OF YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING.
Your brain is your mind is your happiness. The brain, body, and mind are inextricably connected. A ‘brain healthy’ diet is also a ‘body healthy diet.’ If you eat with your brain in mind, your mental wellbeing and bodily systems will thrive harmoniously. Happy brain, happy life.
WE BELIEVE YOU ARE AWESOME, JUST AS YOU ARE.
Your brain is a miraculous thing. No “hacking” required. Sometimes external stuff gets in the way—silly social standards, unrealistic expectations, toxic positivity, imposter syndrome. As with “healthy body image,” Evermind champions “healthy brain image”—the practice of perceiving yourself as sufficient and capable at your core. Evermind products and community are here to help you ‘Be More You.’
WE BELIEVE UNLOCKING THE POWER OF REAL FOOD BEST NOURISHES YOUR BRAIN.
Through valid science and reliance on the human evolutionary biology of craving what tastes most nourishing, we select clean, plant-based ingredients, synergistically blended to be efficacious and delicious, to nourish your brain. This is a good habit to have.
WE BELIEVE IN PROTECTING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF NUTRIENT-RICH PLANTS AND FUNGI THAT PROTECT OUR HEALTH
As we champion clean nourishment to generate optimal brain health, we champion regenerative plants and fungal biology to nourish nature.
