Who are we?
We’re firm believers that the Standard American Diet is the pitfall to several of the preventable health conditions arising in our society today (including heart disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders). That’s why we created NativePath—a health & wellness company that blends Ancestral Wisdom with Modern Science to offer over 30 different supplements, monthly wellness challenges, and free courses to restore and reset people's health. Since 2017, over 1 million people have gotten “On The Path” with us and, by doing so, have reversed pain, renewed energy, and aged more gracefully.
We provide a rewarding, collaborative, and exciting work environment focusing on personal growth. Our leaders host weekly company-wide culture calls designed to foster team spirit, encourage movement, and build our community. In 2023, the entire company was flown to a ranch in Tucson, AZ, for team-building activities and had a blast while doing it!
