The Seagreen Journey
Ancient Solutions for Modern Burnout
We crossed the country in search of a break. We found a whole new way to live.
The Wake-Up Call
Our brand story is a little unconventional. We're not health influencers. We didn't arrive here through biohacking or longevity conferences. We got here the human way-by doing too much, ignoring our bodies, and drifting further from what actually matters.
For years, my life was a blur of early-morning flights and late-night Zooms. Fourteen-hour days were the standard. I ate for convenience, slept in fragments, and wore exhaustion like a badge of honor. Eventually, the bill came due: inflammation, recurring infections, anxiety, and a merry-go-round of antibiotics. My body was begging me to stop, but I didn't listen until I ended up in the hospital with kidney stones. That was the moment I knew something had to give.
The Long Road West
That summer, I visited a client on Lummi Island, a tiny spot in the Salish Sea with under 1,000 residents and zero chaos. I always loved the journey there-the six-hour flight from NYC, the long drive north, the quick ferry. No matter how stressed I was, I always landed at that farmhouse table feeling deeply alive.
I asked my client if I could rent his place for October. My partner was between jobs, and it felt like the right moment to hit pause. We packed the car and took a bucket-list road trip from NYC to Seattle, winding through mountains and cornfields, leaving the noise behind.
Life at Sea Level
We spent that month living off the land and the water. We ate reefnet-caught salmon and vegetables from the farm stand. We took a beat-up skiff to uninhabited islands and shared dinners on the cobbled shore with new friends.
We baked, walked the dog, and talked for hours as the daylight faded. It was the simplest of times. One crisp October day, bobbing out on the water, I remember thinking: We've made life far more complicated than it needs to be.
Holding Vitality
It was during that trip that I fell in love with seaweed. My client had started Washington State's first fully licensed seaweed farm, and I became fascinated watching the kelp lines being hauled in.
When he handed me a fresh sugar kelp frond-glossy, vibrant, and warm from the sun-something in me shifted. It was like holding pure vitality. I started using kelp powder in every meal, and to my surprise, my inflammation eased. I felt clearer. Better. More myself.
The 1,600-Mile Question
I kept thinking: How do we bottle this? How do we capture this sunshine and grounded wellbeing?
I didn't know the first thing about formulations or the wellness industry. But as we packed up the car to head back East, we knew we had 1,600 miles of open road to think about it. We mapped out what a mission-driven company could look like, but every time we got excited, we hit the same wall: We don't have the expertise. We don't have the contacts. Every sign pointed to no.
The Detour That Changed Everything
One night, at a Hampton Inn in Texas, I texted a friend on a whim. He told us to stop by his office the next day.
That unexpected stop is where everything changed. By pure coincidence-or divine orchestration-the owner of his building, and his dear friend, ran one of the country's top FDA-registered, cGMP-certified formulation labs. It was the exact expertise we lacked, sitting right in front of us. Standing in that lobby, after weeks of dreaming and doubting, it felt like the universe finally said: This is the way forward.
Bottling Radiance
Over the past year, we've worked hand-in-hand with the farm and lab to build something we're incredibly proud of.
Seagreen Vitality is a blend of sea vegetables and rich minerals designed to give you a dose of the same internal sunshine I felt holding that kelp frond on Lummi Island.
We bottled radiance. And we cannot wait to share it with you.
