Our Story

From Misiones to California

A journey of healing, heritage, and the pursuit of pure nutrition.

Meet Mariana Constantin

Born and raised in Misiones, Argentina—the heartland of mandioca (cassava)—Mariana grew up surrounded by this ancient root vegetable that has nourished South American communities for centuries.

When Mariana was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid, her life took an unexpected turn. Traditional treatments weren't providing the relief she needed, leading her to discover the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)—a specialized elimination diet designed to reduce inflammation and heal the gut.

Through AIP, Mariana experienced remarkable improvements in her health, but she faced a common challenge: finding convenient, healthy snacks that met the protocol's strict requirements.

The Problem We Solve

The modern snack industry is filled with processed foods, hidden preservatives, and inflammatory ingredients that can trigger autoimmune responses.

Hidden Preservatives

Most snacks contain artificial preservatives and chemicals that can trigger inflammation.

Complex Ingredients

Long ingredient lists with unpronounceable additives make it hard to know what you're eating.

Limited AIP Options

Very few snacks meet the strict requirements of the Autoimmune Protocol.

Our Solution: Radical Simplicity

Inspired by her heritage and health journey, Mariana created Rootfuel Chips—a snack that honors both tradition and modern nutritional science.
