What your poop is trying to tell you.

Story time: I personally began juicing in 2012 due to not being able to have a bowel movement for nearly 2 weeks. My pooh went from brown smooth, to brown pellets to gas.

Because of the color, I knew it was healthy. But because of the type, I knew I was dehydrated even after drinking lots of water. Severe constipation followed and was caused by stress & my body not being able to break down refined sugars/bread. I would eat the bread, and it would literally sit at the top of my intestines for days (causing me to look 3 to 4 months pregnant). I would drink water and it would literally burn.

I completed a 30 day cleanse with water, celery juice and the very first flavors on our menu: Green Light, Morning Kisses and Beets by Meh. At the time, I juiced with what I knew had healing capabilities, I had no intention of forming 1987 Juices. In fact, when it came to juicing I had only heard of Jamba & Naked Juice (I'm from a small city in South Carolina called Conway. That's what we had)

In 2018, I nearly collapsed while running. Once again, my body did not properly break down the rice or bread I was eating. I then gave up both until I began sharing my experiences with french bakers at farmer markets. They recommended fermented sourdough, and it changed everything for me. I still eat quinoa over rice but it allowed me to reincorporate bread without the burn.
