Eat Well. Live Well.

While all meals feature a plant-based approach to provide you with a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich and anti-inflammatory diet known to improve chronic disease outcomes and prevent development of chronic diseases, we also offer the option to add a sustainable healthy animal protein. Such proteins provide a source of both macronutrients (protein and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that cannot be found in other foods. We source animals raised in their natural environments that produce more nutrient-rich and less inflammatory foods than animals raised using modern industrialized animal production, such as feeding animals grains and raising them in a crowded environment.

While there is no one right "diet" for everyone, we are thoughtful about our food choices and preparation, so that each meal at 1440 will nourish you and decrease the risk for disease as life stage, lifestyle and food intolerances all dictate unique individual food needs.
