Sweetgreen Founder: Switching From Seed Oils To Olive Oil, Using Grass Fed Meat & Making Healthy Food Accessible

Listen Later

Ep. #92 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I am joined by Sweetgreen’s co-founder Nicolas Jammet. He explains how a senior project transformed into a nationwide movement aimed at redefining fast food through transparent, nutritious offerings. Nicolas highlights the evolution of Sweetgreen's menu, which emphasizes protein-rich dishes and the use of wholesome ingredients like extra virgin olive oil. He also shares insights into his personal wellness journey and how significant life events like marriage and fatherhood have influenced his health perspective. Together, we discuss Sweetgreen's commitment to soil health, seasonal menus, and its mission to expand access to wholesome food, laying the groundwork for a sustainable future.
