For wellness company, Golde, the past year has seen a massive increase in business. Lockdown, paired with an increased interest in self-care, had translated into a growing interest in superfoods as a way of promoting a more healthy lifestyle; and the once small business grew dramatically in size.
Born in Brooklyn in 2017 from a 1-bedroom apartment, Golde is the lovechild of Trinity Mouzon Wofford and her partner, Issey Kobori. What started as a single product, the Original Turmeric Latte Blend, had quickly grown into a line of superfood essentials; anything from morning smoothies to skincare, all aimed at boosting your daily routine.
Mouzon Wofford, the brand’s co-founder and CEO, admits she swears by turmeric. “It makes such a difference in my skin and immunity,” she gushed in an interview with Golubka Kitchen. “Issey loves it for instant allergy relief.” Mouzon Wofford adds that because it’s anti-inflammatory, she’s also found it to be really helpful in clearing up redness or breakouts.
The couple are also huge proponents of ashwaghanda. “Besides that, I try not to get too bogged down with a ton of supplements,” she notes. “I focus mostly on eating a variety of plants every day.”
The brand’s products include a Matcha and Shroom Duo, a Pure Greens Kit, and Superfood Masks. But when it comes to setting dietary boundaries and rules, Mouzon Wofford admits she tries a softer approach. “I really think doing away with rules (re: food, etc.) has been the most important change I’ve made,” she notes. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with avoiding gluten or dairy because it upsets your stomach or causes breakouts, but don’t complicate your life with structure that does not serve you.”
She also isn’t too strict about junk food. “Refined sugar is trash for your system, but so is getting too regimented with your foods,” says Mouzon Wofford. “I keep it light (emotionally) and eat what I’m craving. When junk food isn’t off-limits, you’re not going to crave it every day.”
It’s this balanced approach to food that makes Golde stand out for the better. You can purchase their products online and follow them on social media for more info.
