AVERY LIGHT
Founder
Hi, I'm Avery Light, the founder of FoodFriend!
This app idea grew from my own experience navigating food sensitivities from autoimmune symptoms that caused a lot of challenges and confusion. What began as a personal attempt to gain back more control of my life quickly turned into a mission of wanting to provide the same relief for others. The realization that I wasn't the only one struggling with managing sensitivities is what keeps this passion project going.
With a background in marketing and a passion for turning insights into solutions, I created FoodFriend to make everyday food decisions easier, clearer, and less stressful. Every feature reflects frustrations that I have faced firsthand or heard from others on similar journeys.
My goal is simple. I want to help people feel confident, informed, and understood as they navigate their health journeys.

"Contrary to the messaging many of us are getting today, a hearty steak as part of your diet is better for you than ultra-processed plant-based foods such as Twinkies, Lucky Charms, and Impossible Burgers."
"This starts with personal action and community organization. Creating a healthier world is a revolutionary act, one you can start right now."
