What if your breakfast could support your hormones, your cholesterol, and your gut health — without feeling like “health food”?

In this episode, we sit down with Gita Chakrabarti, founder of gutBFF Granola, a Bentonville-based brand making plant-diverse, crispy, and seriously delicious granola designed to support real gut health.

After a career spanning retail, consulting, and manufacturing, Gita felt called to pursue her true passion: creating food that improves health. Through navigating her own journey with PCOS, fertility, and cholesterol — without pharmaceuticals — she experienced firsthand how powerful dietary change can be. That journey led to the creation of gutBFF, a granola that delivers 20 different plants (including Lion’s Mane!) in every serving.

We talk about:

• Using food as a foundation for healing

• The importance of plant diversity for gut health

• Entrepreneurship and building a local brand

• What it really takes to pivot toward purpose

Gita lives in Bentonville with her husband and 12-year-old daughter and loves yoga and travel. Originally from South Carolina, she’s lived all over the world — bringing global perspective into every batch she makes.
