Company Philosophy

BetterBody Foods & Nutrition is committed to giving you the very best in health and nutritional products. The founder of the Company, Stephen Richards, like 67% of you, struggles with his weight. His family history includes diabetes on both his mother and his father’s side. Yet, he loves to eat, cook and live.

After all, life is a celebration and there is no better way to celebrate than with great tasting food, and yes, that food can be healthy and delicious. This is the premise of our Company, and our commitment to you, to bring you great products that make the celebration of life healthier -- so you can live it longer and enjoy it more.

This is not a complicated proposition. Obesity is the primary cause of the three major chronic diseases of diabetes, heart disease and cancer that are plaguing this country. Three simple ingredients are the primary cause of obesity: sugar, high fructose corn syrup and white flour. All of these ingredients are highly caloric foods, with a high Glycemic Index and no nutritional value. Change these ingredients and you change your life and life expectancy!

With Xagave, fresh foods and fresh ground whole grains, you will see how easy this change can be.

We are committed to bringing you foods and products that will help you change your life and increase the joy of the celebration. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

About the Founder

Stephen Richards is a full-time business owner, husband and father and a part-time chef and health nut that loves to eat. He struggles with his weight like 67% of Americans. He comes from a family with a long history of diabetes and has always been concerned about his health, particularly as he ages. A couple of years ago, he was introduced to agave nectar and began to research it. He ultimately flew to the region in Mexico where it is grown and spent time with the growers and processors, learning about the product and its benefits. He engaged medical doctors to study the claims being made and he explored hundreds of recipes on his own. After several years, he developed Xagave, a blend of agave from several agave plants that incorporates the best of taste, texture and health benefits that this wonderful plant has to offer. Stephen lives in Utah with his beautiful wife and 2 great children.
