Haley Scheich and Tarek Pacha- Super Hero Foods
Haley Scheich and Tarek Pacha are the founders of My SuperHero Foods, a wellness brand that teaches families about the powers of whole foods. They co-authored the children’s book, My SuperHero Foods to help inspire children’s curiosities about healthy eating. Haley’s fascination with nutrition started in 2008 when she was introduced to yoga. Over the years, she has poured over hundreds of books, thousands of articles, & anything where she can find optimal nutrition tips and tricks. Tarek is a leading men’s health expert & holistic urologist. He’s treated thousands of patients over the last decade, and through his patients, he’s learned that the right food choices can PREVENT, REVERSE, and even HEAL disease. They believe that food is the ultimate medicine, but as they’ve raised their kids, they’ve learned that most kids don’t stand a chance to thrive. This is because Big Food hides sugar and other dangerous ingredients in their products. Labels are deceptive and difficult to interpret, and deceptive marketing is everywhere. Kids deserve this information. As kids start to understand the POWER of nutrient-dense whole food, they will hold us accountable to eat better too! Haley and Tarek live in Ann Arbor, Michigan in a blended family with six kids, ages 1 to 17. They plan to release their second children’s book, My SuperHero Sleep, in late 2022.
