About us

Hi, I'm Jennifer, creator of The Peri Bar. I'd like to tell you my story and how the Peri Bar idea came to life. Around the age of 41 I started noticing gradual changes, one symptom and then another, until one day I woke up and could no longer see my 30 year old self. The energetic, athletic woman that worked out and felt motivated to take on any task now felt excessive fatigue, experienced weight gain without explanation, brain fog, sleep issues, unexplained hunger, and mood swings. I went into my 40's in the best shape of my life then my body changed before I had language for it - I just knew that I didn't feel like myself anymore.

When the afternoon blood sugar crash would hit me around 3:00, it became a habit to reach for craved carbs or junk food that would give me comfort. Unfortunately, what felt great in the short term made me feel even worse long term. I hit rock bottom with my symptoms and knew one change needed to be food, especially at snack time. I didn't want your everyday granola bar or protein bar. I wanted something specifically made for women in this stage of life. So, I created The Peri Bar because I refused to feel this way anymore. And I knew I wasn't alone.
