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 kids and young adults 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 own kids leading up to their exams.

Since my kids have left home for school, I have been working in the field of nutrition. As a result, I have been learning a tremendous amount about how food effects our bodies. In particular, how food can impact our brain function, mood and mental health. I have been blown away by the realization that almost every system in our bodies can be impacted by the food we choose to consume. 

I have since decided we all need to be better educated on what food can do for us and how it can help us to eliminate brain fog, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, allergies, etc...

So, I did some research and found the science behind how certain types of foods can help our brains function better. I tested a bunch of snack foods and curated a box full of delicious, brain-boosting snacks  and sent them to my kids, their friends and friends of friends. I asked all of them for feedback and they all seem to really like receiving them and thought the snacks were really helpful and tasty too. I was amazed at how receptive and interested they have been in learning about the influence food has on their brains and bodies.

I hope these boxes will help your kids learn that food is truly the fuel our body needs to function and that the right foods can really help us to optimize our health and well being.

Eat well, live well.
