In 2022, while pregnant with twins, I was told at a check-up that I was on the verge of gestational diabetes. That's when everything changed.
I started reading, asking questions, listening to doctors and researchers. And I found something I didn't expect: metabolic health determines so much of how we live — and almost no one talks about it. No one teaches you about it, until one day it affects you.
Sugar is everywhere. In things that don't taste sweet. In things sold as healthy. And I got tired of that being the norm.
So I left my fifteen-year corporate career and founded Sava. The name comes from "savia" (sap) — the essence of what is alive. We started with what I needed and what didn't exist: a high-quality sweetener, made from a fruit that Buddhist monks have been cultivating for almost a thousand years.
If we contribute to this being talked about more, it will have been worth it.
Thank you for reading this far. We are building this for you.
