HEAL Story

How one life-changing diagnosis led to a brand-new product pioneering health and wellness for all. Meet the team behind HEAL.

Our Story

How It Started

When Paul’s late wife Linda was diagnosed with ALS in 2016, he leveraged his training as a first responder into the role of her primary caregiver. As Linda became reliant on a feeding tube for nutrition, Paul learned that commercially available options were limited and were only helping Linda subsist through calories from processed sugar, oil and other processed ingredients.

He dedicated himself to making an option that would provide a wealth of nutrition from real, organic ingredients that would promote health—not just subsistence. After a lot of experimentation (and a lot of blending), HEAL was born in 2017.

Paul joined forces with Dr. Stacy Mitchell Doyle, M.D., who after 18 years in her own medical practice, realized that she was a part of a broken medical system. Her patients were on ever increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals, but the cycle of worsening health and chronic disease was not substantially altered.

Linda’s life and the challenge that she faced with ALS is the reason we are so committed to providing you with the healthiest meal replacement options. Whether you are battling an illness, aging gracefully, performing in fitness or simply looking for optimal health, HEAL is the answer.
