Food is Healing™: The Urban Remedy Movement with Founder Neka Pasquale

Urban Remedy isn’t just a brand—it’s a belief system, not a tagline built around the belief that food is healing™. Founder Neka Pasquale, a licensed acupuncturist and nutrition expert, grew up immersed in Northern California’s farm-to-table culture and spent over a decade helping clients transform their health through acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and nutrition. Inspired by the life-changing results her patients experienced at wellness retreats, Neka launched Urban Remedy in 2009 to bring her healing philosophy to a wider audience. Every product from cold-pressed juices to plant-forward meals is crafted with organic, anti-inflammatory ingredients, blending ancient wisdom with modern clean eating. The brand prioritizes sustainability, using locally sourced produce, earth-friendly packaging, and small-batch production. Certified as a B Corp, Urban Remedy is committed not just to personal health, but to the planet and community as well. By making clean, delicious, and healing food accessible, the brand empowers people to eat consciously and live vibrantly every day.In this episode, Neka also discusses:Eating with purpose and removing inflammation from the body through foodPracticing balance–enjoying foods, boosting immunity and staying healthyMastering your nervous system and why it’s the key to total health organizationNew Year health goals and sustainable steps to jumpstart your yearSupporting local farmers and eating organic & pesticide freeHow staying true to your mission matters even more as you scaleTheir partnership with Whole Foods We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Neka's journey and the growth of Urban Remedy.
