Can healthy taste this good?
Truvani is revolutionizing protein with purpose and flavor. Melanie Duncan, Owner & Chief of Creative at Truvani, joins Reforming On Air with Geneveivee Ross for a behind-the-scenes conversation about building a clean, high-performance protein brand designed with women in mind. From ingredient sourcing and flavor testing to bootstrapping the business and navigating product development hurdles, Melanie shares what it really takes to launch and scale a health-focused product line.
They explore the difference between whey and plant-based protein, the challenges of finding trustworthy manufacturers, and why ingredient transparency is non-negotiable. Melanie also opens up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, how Truvani carved its place in a saturated wellness market, and what’s next—including expansion into major retailers like Target.
