Hi, I’m Michelle.

I started Unjunk America because I believe every family deserves to understand what’s in their food, and feel confident feeding the people they love.

But the truth is, I didn’t always have that confidence myself.

Like many people, I spent years caught in the cycle of convenience foods, sugary snacks, and confusing nutrition messages. I knew I cared about my health, but the modern food world made it incredibly easy to fall into habits that didn’t support it.

That experience is part of what led me to start digging deeper.

With a background in biology, education, and health behavior, I became curious about why so many families were struggling with their health. The deeper I looked, the more I realized how difficult it has become to eat well in a world filled with ultra-processed foods, confusing labels, and marketing that often makes junk food look like health food.

Meanwhile, busy parents are doing their absolute best, standing in grocery aisles trying to make good choices for their families, and it didn’t sit right with me.
