After a few years, I realized that these intense strength training and high impact workouts were exacerbating my old dance injuries. I felt inflamed physically and drained mentally, constantly comparing myself to people on the internet. It didn’t feel good, nor fun. My college roommate introduced me…

When we set out to launch Human Improvement we knew that trial was going to be a big part of the game; after all, we were treading on new territory - a brand forward, wellness disrupting product that used cricket powder as a key ingredient.

Before Human Improvement, the name for our company was HUSK. I loved it. It came from a conversation with a friend who is navigating a “bout with cancer” (apologies for the phrasing, how the heck do you talk about this disease in a non-pedantic way?).
