Danielle Duboise of Sakara: How to Eat With Joy (and Still Love Chocolate Muffins)

This week, Elizabeth is joined by Danielle Duboise, co-founder of Sakara and one of the most thoughtful voices shaping today’s wellness landscape. Danielle brings a human-centered, emotionally intelligent perspective to food, one rooted in nourishment, not restriction. Danielle shares her personal journey from pre-med studies to discovering food as medicine and building Sakara’s plant-based philosophy around joy, gut health, and cellular nourishment. She and Elizabeth chat about the difference between nutrition and nourishment, the overlooked role of emotional connection and joy in eating, and why focusing on individual nutrients misses the bigger picture. Danielle also reflects on building a mission-driven brand over more than a decade: scaling consciously, staying true to her values, and helping others unlearn shame-based food narratives.
