Ali Lazowski

Gluten-free food hunter. Professional rabbit-hole explorer. “During my junior year at college, I began feeling increasing amounts of pain after eating and extremely exhausted. After ending up in the emergency room, I had to take a medical leave of absence from school. Suddenly, confined to my bed, my life became visits to 30+ doctors, clinics and nutritionists. We discovered I live with Irritable

Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Hashimoto’s disease, Thyroid Cancer, and Lyme Disease and its Co-Infections. I have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and will begin IV treatments soon. During this journey, I have felt so much support and love. Everyone seems to know someone or be suffering themselves from similar chronic conditions and diseases. 133 million Americans or 40% of the total population live with chronic illness, and even more are affected by it. A common struggle, I found, is that recommended diets were helpful, but not convenient. If you can’t run to the market and pick it up, it requires too much effort! I created Bare Life to bring convenience to healthy eating. Our foods and recipes are flavorful, fun and healthy. And, we want to make prepared, healthy foods easily accessible, whether it’s online, in your local coffee shop or in grocery stores!"
