Our Story

We didn't build FASTED
to start a supplement brand.

We couldn't find supplements that actually made sense for fasting.
So we started making our own.

That’s how FASTED began.

  1. Us, before us

    Two Paths same calling

    Violet studied naturopathy and herbalism, then bought a one-way ticket to Costa Rica.
    Ben had a business back home. Every winter he'd escape somewhere off grid and slow down.

    Three years later, they met in the most unexpected way.

    “Both of us, separately, were already trying to live differently.”

  2. Off grid, together

    Clarity

    How we met

    After 3 years of traveling, Violet ended up in a small off-grid community in Guatemala with no plans to leave. Ben ended up there too, on his winter break from work.
    When he had to go back, he asked her to come with him. She said yes, but only if they kept traveling every winter..

    Still the best deal ever made.

    “Neither of us planned this. That's what made it right.”

  3. Supplement confusion

    Something was missing

    Ben had been fasting for a few years. Violet joined him and felt the difference right away. But finding supplements that actually made sense for fasting was impossible. Everything felt like guessing. Most products had ingredients that worked against the fast, not with it.

    Nobody was making supplements for people who fast.

    “We kept checking labels and putting things back.”

  4. Why not create our own supplement?

    So we made it

    At some point the question stopped being "why doesn't this exist" and became "why don't we just make it." Violet had a background in herbalism and naturopathy.
    So we started figuring it out.

    Creating what we wished existed.

    “We kept thinking: why doesn't this already exist?”

  5. we did it! Morning edge is alive

    Our first product

    We spent months ordering samples, testing ingredients, starting over until finding something that felt aligned. We wanted to make something simple and clean, that held to a standard we’d personally feel good about taking every day.

    And that's how our first product, Morning Edge, was born.

    “Five organic herbal extracts. Nothing we wouldn't take ourselves.”

Hi, if you made it this far, we just want to say:

thank you.
With love, Violet + Ben
— The Founders

You chose simplicity over noise, long term over easy, and a lifestyle most people don't fully understand yet. That takes something. We know because we made the same choice.

FASTED is more than a supplement brand. It's a home for people who choose the fasting lifestyle. The supplements are just the beginning. Our vision is to build a place where people who fast, and people who want to, can learn, grow and support each other.

We're building this one person at a time and we're really glad you're here.
