About
In 2013, we started OurPaleoLife.com with a focus on clean ingredient family meals and treats. Later, in 2015 we became interested in the Keto Diet and started creating meal plans and recipes to help along the way. We make a lot of effort to test lifestyle, ingredients, and products with a continuous glucose monitor AKA a CGM to ensure blood sugar regulation. We also write about those experiences on our blog.
In 2017 we came up with an almond butter product and attempted to work with a co-packer. We had an absolutely terrible experience and decided we'd scramble together what money we had and rent a building and build out our own commercial kitchen. We learned a lot and since we had the space we decided to start making baked goods and open a small Keto specific grocery store. Well... that store opened in November of 2018 and we had the very first Keto specific bakery, grocery store, and consumer food production company.
The original name of the company was Explorado Market. We later decided to change the name to Cardnl (Low Carb & Gluten Free) (in 2021).
Cardinal as an adjective means: fundamental or of the greatest importance. We believe good health is at the core of enjoying all that life has to offer. We believe improving health is fundamental. Limiting blood sugar is one vitally important tool for many suffering from metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. We create and promote products with incredible ingredients that taste amazing while not raising blood sugar.
Also, if you're "cardinal" you're considered a born leader, an initiator of things, you refuse to sit around and wait for something to happen. Well, that's us.
And the bird... obviously. Amazing. And there's meaning even when you just SEE a Cardinal.
