He educated himself on cancer causes and prevention, resulting in a strict plant-based diet. Kristel made superfood mixes to assist in his recovery, and he experienced a dramatic shift in health, clarity and energy levels The two created Your Super, a direct to consumer company in Berlin. The customer base quickly diversified worldwide to include an outpost in Venice, California. Your Super recently raised $5 million in Series A funding in the US.
