We don't eat just to eat. There's a lot of emotion that goes into food.”
-Lisa Dorfman
Episode Description:
Chi or Qi from Chinese principle pertains to the purest form of vital energy force that is needed for life. Chi has been a central part of Chinese medicine, which later became a popular concept around the world. Eventually, it was adapted into many cultures because of its role in health and longevity. What if we can tap into the power of Chi energy in the form of food?
Living in a very exhausting world, many people find themselves lacking the energy to do what they have to do. Our body requires clean, nutritious, and easy-to-digest food to perform well. From this need, a powerful energy snack was born- Chi Energy Bites. Award-winning sports and performance nutritionist Lisa Dorfman, also known as “the Running Nutritionist,” created Chi Energy Bites, a “super snack” that fuels an active lifestyle. Chi Energy Bites revolves around four pillars- to Empower, Sustain, Replenish, and Nourish. Chi Energy Bites are organic, sugar-free, allergen-free, and gluten-free so you can fulfill your cravings without the guilt. This snack-on-the-run not only provides energy and nutrition, but the company also gives back to the community by supporting non-profit organizations that share the same goals.
