For some, a warm chocolate chip cookie could turn around a bad day, but for Loren Castle, it was a saving grace when she needed it most.

Loren Castle is the founder of Sweet Loren's, a cookie dough company using plant-based, non-GMO, whole-grain ingredients free of gluten, dairy, eggs, tree nuts and peanuts.

“Food is how we get energy — If I’m feeding myself crappy food,” she remembered telling herself, “I’m not going to have the energy to fight this.” To get through it, she started therapy, which helped her see how getting through cancer could give her strength and appreciate life more. It turned out that food was the best medicine for that. During treatment, Castle started taking cooking classes — and studying nutrition. “I wanted a cookie I could eat all the time and just not have it make me feel bad. All that inspired me to really start Sweet Loren’s,” she said.
