Lifeforce was founded in Santa Monica, CA, by leaders in medicine, technology, science, entertainment, sport, and business, all united by a mission to improve the quality of midlife for ourselves and the people close to us.
These chapters should be life at its best, with passions to pursue, goals to achieve, people to support, and places to explore. Yet, we’ve all struggled to find a single solution to understand how our bodies are changing, and get everything we need to keep feeling and performing at our best.
We believe taking control of your life starts with taking control of your health, which is why we designed the first comprehensive proactive health program combining diagnostics, doctors, coaches, and science-backed therapies. You live your life. We manage your longevity.

SANA Foods is a consumer packaged foods company with its headquarters in Los Angeles and principal operations office in Minneapolis. The company was founded by Daniella Hunter and has evolved into a leading global food operation curated by Real Coconut Kitchens. The original Real Coconut restaurant is situated on the stunning beach at the award winning Sanará Tulum.
All the menu items in the restaurant and the resulting packaged food products are dedicated to digestive health and are free from gluten, grains, dairy and refined sugars. This commitment is even further exemplified by Daniella's role as director of The Belize Sustainable Development Company, which works directly with the Belizean government on creating progressive fair trade, farming economies, that support small scale farmers, biodiversity and the environment at large.
Our organic coconut flour tortilla chips and organic coconut flour tortillas are now available across the USA in over 5,000 stores.

Our mission: to preserve the ocean’s natural resources while introducing awesomely delicious “seafood” choices that benefit you and the world. Nothing fishy about it.
Bon Appétit. Chad and Derek.
