OUR STORY
John Conner, Founder
Hi, I'm John Conner. Welcome to Radically Honest Foods.
In 2024, at the age of 49 my life took an unexpected turn. After learning I had early-onset heart disease and receiving a calcium score that placed me in the 75th percentile for my age, I knew I had to make a change. I dove deep into the science of heart health, studying the work of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and others who have shown that a whole-food, plant-based, low fat and oil-free diet can not only prevent but reverse heart disease.
​
Within months, I transformed my lifestyle—cutting out meat, dairy, oils, nuts & seeds and processed foods—and experienced firsthand how powerful real food can be. My energy returned, my weight stabilized, and my bloodwork improved dramatically. But I also realized how difficult it was to find foods that truly aligned with this way of eating on the shelves of grocery stores.
​
That’s why I started Radically Honest Foods—a brand born from necessity, honesty, and a mission to make heart-healthy eating simple, accessible, and delicious. Every product we make meets the Total Heart Health™ standard: no oil, no dairy, no nuts or seeds, no added junk—just whole, plant-based ingredients your heart can trust.
This journey isn’t just about my health anymore—it’s about helping others reclaim theirs. Whether you’ve faced your own heart health scare or simply want to eat in a way that supports a long, vibrant life, my hope is that Radically Honest Foods helps make that path a little easier—and a whole lot tastier.
Our Mission
Radically Honest Foods was created with one simple goal: to make truly heart-healthy eating effortless, transparent, accessible and delicious.
​
We believe that food should do more than just taste good—it should help you live longer and feel better. Every product we make is crafted from whole, plant-based ingredients with no oil, no dairy, no nuts or seeds, and no unnecessary additives. What you see on the label is exactly what’s inside—nothing hidden, nothing harmful, nothing to question.
​
Our products are built around the principles of science-backed heart health, inspired by the work of leading researchers and physicians who have shown that a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet can prevent and even reverse heart disease.
​
To ensure that standard never slips, we created the Total Heart Health Certification—our own seal of approval that guarantees every Radically Honest Foods product meets the most rigorous nutritional criteria for cardiovascular wellness. This certification isn’t just for show; it’s our promise. If it carries the Total Heart Health stamp, it means it’s been carefully formulated to support optimal heart function and long-term health.
​
At Radically Honest Foods, we’re redefining what it means to eat clean. We’re here for anyone ready to take control of their health, simplify their choices, and know with confidence that what they’re eating is 100% good for their heart.
Radically honest. Radically simple. Radically good for you.
