PrimaFoodie is an educational publication and community dedicated to making nutritious eating and living accessible to everyone.
We do this by peeling back the layers of our food system, providing literacy around ingredients, and offering fun takes on cooking, shopping, and mindful living.
We call ourselves 'Food Warriors.' That's because we won't stop fighting until every person has access to fresh, whole foods and the ability to discern what’s healthiest for them and their families—every day.

What we eat impacts everything. Food is the fuel for our days, the nutrients for our bodies, and the most critical key to our health. Yet so much of our food and its delivery system is adulterated and unhealthy. We want to change this.
We strive to inspire conversations and build awareness around shifting how and what we eat—for good. Motivated by the power food has on our health, we aim to normalize a lifestyle that supports our well-being rather than degrades it. We are inspired to create a groundswell that propels real change in how we look at our health holistically. We believe that we live the fullest lives possible when we turn our emphasis away from big pharma and corporate agriculture and toward regenerative practices, real food, transparent self-care products, and each other.
What started as a personal journey for our founder, Nichole, has led to a mission for our team and community built around curiosity, hope, and a desire for food justice. With our science-based journalism focused on the food system and education and our recipes, tutorials, and guides, we aim to address the space of what eating real food means so everyone has access to it.
About Nichole
For more than 5 years, Nichole Perkins has advocated, educated, and fought for food transparency and equity. Charged with the belief that an empowered lifestyle can be accessible to everyone, she follows her values to provide insightful lessons on eating and living in a way that betters the health of ourselves, our communities, and the planet.
Nichole started on a journey of self-healing through food after struggling with various autoimmune conditions, including SIBO, psoriasis, rhinitis, and leaky gut, nearly all her life. She was frustrated—from being sick and not having the white coats take her questions seriously. So, she changed the trajectory and took autonomy over her health. Through voracious research, real foods, and the counsel of functional and alternative medicine practitioners, Nichole began to heal. She asked questions and facilitated communications between her experts, sought healers who honored her journey, and pushed back when something didn't feel right. This exploration unlocked in Nichole the drive for every human to see that their health is both a right and an individual journey. Transparency and fact-based information should never be hidden under layers of intimidation or politics. Clean living need not be an expensive, exclusive endeavor. Everyone is worthy of the tools and information to help them obtain optimal wellness.
Through PrimaFoodie, Nichole wants to share all she has learned and offer the tools and food reports she and her team discover daily. She hopes to inspire you to own your journey toward better health by celebrating the small wins and opening up conversations.
