Rachelle’s golden berry breakfast cookies

We’ve never been more excited to see the power of functional medicine — and the understanding that food can be medicine — reaching new audiences. It’s a great joy to see our work making a difference in the world.

And to see new voices bring this story to life in new ways. Rachelle Robinett is doing just that, and it’s a thrill to be working with her at Big Bold Health.

If you don’t know Rachelle, she’s a registered herbalist spreading wisdom through Pharmakon Supernatural. And just look at this breakfast cookie she came up with for our Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Flour.

Find out more about Rachelle and this recipe here, and let’s use this to start a new trend — (healthy) cookies for breakfast!
