The Real Food Standard will be the shared definition of “real food” used across the Eat Real Food Again ecosystem. It won't be set by a company, a government panel, or a trade association.
It will be maintained by Healla members — people with firsthand experience of the conditions real food helps prevent and reverse.
Ingredient requirements — what belongs in real food and what doesn't
Cooking oil standards — starting with a commitment to healthy oils
Sourcing transparency — where your food comes from, no black boxes
Labeling that actually tells you something
Preparation methods — drawing a line on ultra-processing
The Standard will be built by the Healla community through a peer consensus process. People who've lived through a health condition and recovered through food will have the most say in what the Standard recommends for that condition.
This isn't top-down — it's a meritocracy of lived experience. The roadmap for the Standard will come together from the people who comprise the Healla network. We're building the governance tools and verification systems now.
“The Standard needs people who've been there.”
If you've faced a health condition and changed your food to change your outcome, sign up for Healla and be part of building the Standard from the ground up.
We'll notify you when the Standard is ready for community input.
