A Vibrant Journey
Vibrant Concepts launched in the summer of 2020; however, the start of this journey began in 2001 when Candice Morgel a Michigan Native began a new lifestyle that forever changed how she experienced food and her body. Several of her teenage years were spent in discomfort, experiencing mental fogginess and fatigue. After struggling for several years and nearly a year of seeking help from Medical Specialists and Nutritionist who were unable to provide her any resolve. Candice decided to make a change.
Finally, after months of medical care with no cure; she began to feel extremely defeated. One evening Keith Morgel, Candice’s Father, returned from a cardiologist appointment with a book that he casually tossed aside. The book was given to Candice’s Father as a resource for incorporating a plant-based diet into his lifestyle. While not an interest of her fathers, Candice picked up the book out of curiosity and began to read about the healing benefits of a plant-based diet. After everything else had failed and the medical professionals were still at a loss for the right medical recommendation, Candice decided to make a change toward a plant base lifestyle.
At 13 this was a huge change and placed many restrictions on what had been “a normal teenage diet” thus far. She was beyond thankful for parents who accommodated the change and made the necessary adjustments to make this lifestyle possible. This may seem like a small request for most families to make, as what parent wouldn’t want to see their child in a thriving state of being, but Candice was from a family of 10 and this was a diligent and sacrificial effort of support that her parents provided.
Within months Candice felt like herself again, her energy levels increased, and she began to fully participate in her life comfortably as a teenager.
The years following would prove to provide a new profound vision of wellness and understanding of how fueling her body with the right foods would change how she felt towards her body and how she experienced life.
Through years of trying various food lifestyles and incorporating different nutritional concepts; such as, Vegan, Grain Free and Paleo. All which provided various benefits, what Candice found most profound was eating from the purest of ingredients and incorporating powerful superfoods into every meal would transform her love for food and provide a freedom to enjoy food in ways she had struggled to experience most of her life.
Candice has a passion to introduce to all people a wide spectrum of whole superfoods paired together to provide a terrific taste and an increase of energy.
