Hi you! I’m Lacy (co-founder), and I’m just going to wave my health-nut freak flag right off the bat. I’m here to make sure Pep delivers powerful, safe nutrition—fueling your hard work without compromising your long-term health.

Why should you trust me on this? Well, for starters, I’ve been in the health industry for 20 years and most importantly I’m a two-time cancer survivor. And besides learning the secret to life (spoiler: it involves love and laughter), I also learned the incredible power of whole, organic food.

While I may be the driving force behind healthy eating, my husband Jan was the one who got inspired (or desperate?) enough to start experimenting with his own sports nutrition.

As a type 1 diabetic, his body doesn’t get the luxury of compensating for poor fueling like mine—and probably yours—can. And let’s be real, if your body is constantly compensating, you’re not performing at your best. You could say Jan is our canary in the coal mine—except instead of just feeling sluggish when he fuels wrong, he risks bonking so hard that, well… let’s just say it could get really bad.

Luckily, Jan happens to love nerding out on nutrition. With a background in recipe development and carbohydrate chemistry, he went full mad scientist, diving deep into how food is metabolized to fuel endurance performance. After testing (and testing… and testing…) over a hundred different formulations, he finally landed on what became Pep.

The real kicker? The results blew us away—better blood sugar control, sustained energy, and faster recovery. That’s when we knew we had to share it with the world. So, here we are, humbly handing you the good stuff. 😆
