About us

My name is Michelle Briody and I am the founder of Food For Thought Boxes. I am a mother of two college-aged kids, an entrepreneur, artist and student of nutrition and wellness.

The idea of helping people learn about the power of healthy eating through fun care packages came to me one day as I was loading up boxes full of junk food for my kids leading up to their midterm exams.

Since my kids have left home for school, I have been working in the field of nutrition. I am fascinated (and a little obsessed!) with the ways food affects our bodies, including our brain function, mood and mental health. Almost every system in our body can be impacted by the food we consume. And the right foods can help eliminate brain fog, depression, anxiety, illness, allergies, and more.

So, I scrapped the junk food and found snacks that can help promote healthy brain function. I tested a bunch and put together a box full of delicious, brain-boosting snacks and sent them to my kids, their friends and friends of friends. I am amazed at how receptive and interested they are in learning about the influence food has on their brains and bodies. So, I created more boxes. A nut-free box, a box filled with protein-rich breakfast snacks, a box just for women and a box to help boost immunity. That is how Food for Thought Boxes was born. 

I hope these boxes can help us all learn that food is more than just the fuel our bodies need to function. It's the key to optimizing our health and well being.

Eat well, live well.
