Our origin story, if you want to call it that, starts with our Dads. In 2023, my (Jamie) Dad, one of the smartest and fittest people I know, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and just a few years before that, Emily’s Dad lost his battle with mental illness. How can two healthy men be let down so much by their brains? This triggered a bit of an obsession in us to understand this on a deeper level and try to make sense of it all.

The truth is our modern lifestyles are demanding more from our minds and planet but less from our bodies, and this is well out of whack. The processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, misinformation, lack of green space, dopamine addictions...

We need to fix this unhealthy pattern and rebalance.

This need drove us to create And Species, a conscious brand designed to be the domino effect for better brain health and wellbeing through foundational nutrition and connected experiences. Products built from a deeper understanding of health, to expand your now and protect your later.

There are no quick fixes, better health and wellbeing comes from focusing on lifestyle improvements: eating natural foods, exercising, learning, prioritising nutrition, seeking challenges, getting outside, finding your purpose, and being present.

We act as the foundation for you to build upon.
