But the beloved cultural institution now has the power to reach multiples of that through a hoodie, a Lego set, and a chicken-shaped cutting board.

Building a food brand around the belief that food is healing — that’s the magic ✨
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Neka Pasquale, Founder and Chief Product Officer of Urban Remedy — a company on a mission to reimagine the food system and teach the world that food is healing.
We talk about how Neka’s background in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine led her to create Urban Remedy, and how wellness retreats with her patients helped spark the idea for the brand. We also get into what it takes to scale fresh, certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free meals, snacks, juices, and shakes while staying true to quality and purpose.
Neka shares how Urban Remedy has grown into more than 400 Whole Foods Market locations and other major retailers, how she continues to innovate around what consumers want next, and why every ingredient in Urban Remedy products is chosen for its healing properties.

Across 101 enterprises, the context feeding AI agents is failing often and repeatedly.
