Our Story

Luiza and Irina

We started Broth by Design
in the kitchen!

We are two great friends, sharing the same big passion for well being and nutritious living!

 

Taking upon a worthy challenge to blend the highest quality grass-fed Bone Broth with delicious tastes, we crafted a nutritional mix you would like to enjoy over and over!

 

Our golden standard is the Chicken Soup we grew up with, prepared by our Grandmas in the winter to keep us warm and healthy.

 

We wanted to bring to you the same feeling of comfort and joy as you sip our Broths, just like Proust’s memory-laden madeleine cakes.

Taste Matters!

Guided by our slogan – “Taste Matters” we pursue our mission of creating innovative superfoods that all ages can enjoy for optimal health benefits!

 

We didn’t cut any corners in our commitment to deliver Broth By Design, and ‘OK’ was never good enough! We went through countless formulations and tasting sessions, changes of suppliers and partners to craft the delicious nutritional mixes.

 

We thank you greatly for being on this journey with us. Your comments, cheering and support is our biggest inspiration and motivation of all.

Luiza and Irina,

Co-founders of Broth By Design

Meet the Co-founders

Dr. Luiza Petre

Co-founder of Broth By Design, Board Certified Cardiologist and Nutrition Expert 

Dr. Petre is currently appointed as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Cardiology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She is an active Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), frequent TV guest and Medical Wellness Contributor.

 

She had a point of reflection and her philosophy of life changed when a 22-year-old patient, mother of an infant, died from obesity-related cardiac complications. Recognizing that heart disease, diabetes and other potentially fatal diseases stem from obesity, she expanded her practice to integrative health and wellness. She now manages five Medi-Weightloss Clinics in New York and Connecticut.

 

Dr. Petre has always been on the lookout for alternative protein sources. She realized how Bone Broth is easily tolerated, and has high collagen content among many other superfood benefits. Her health and nutritional expertise, combined with Irina’s business acumen, made the perfect team to create Broth By Design.

Irina Peterson

Co-founder of Broth By Design, with extensive experience in Finance and Wealth Management

Irina Peterson worked for over two decades in wealth management, assisting some of the world’s most successful business individuals in managing their finances. As such, she learned a lot about what it takes to build a business, how decisions are made, and the concept of entrepreneurship.

 

Having lost her parents and other close members of her family to fatal illnesses, Irina has been preoccupied with health and wellbeing. Being healthy and investing in prevention has been essential to her for a very long time.

 

By deeply understanding the healing power of Bone Broth, combined with Dr. Petre’s health and nutritional expertise, Irina revived her entrepreneurial spirit and began perfecting a recipe that’s beyond nutritious and delicious to create Broth By Design.

 

Her passion grows with each person who is healed through this ancient superfood.
