Ep 69: Improving Human and Planetary Health with CJ Frogozo of Daily Harvest

It’s a fact that convenience and sustainability are often at odds when it comes to our food choices. It’s hard to find quick and easy foods that are both good for us and the planet. That’s where Daily Harvest comes in. While you may think of Daily Harvest only as a fast and convenient source for healthy food, they are so much more.  Daily Harvest is on a mission to improve human and planetary health by making it easy to eat more real, unrefined fruits and vegetables every day.

Today’s guest is CJ Frogozo, VP of Advocacy and Community for Daily Harvest. In her role, CJ leads the strategy to bring Daily Harvest’s mission to light to both consumers and policymakers. Her work includes challenging the conventional food system and advocating for federal and local policies that make it easier to grow and eat more organic fruits and vegetables.

Previously, CJ was the VP of PR and Community at Thinx Inc., a disruptive, femtech brand leading the category in absorbent underwear for periods and bladder leaks.  At Thinx, she spearheaded the company’s strategy and communications efforts in the fight for menstrual equity, greater disclosure of ingredients in consumer products, and breaking taboos around menstruation, menopause, and body norms.

Throughout her career, she has worked at the forefront of major cultural and world-changing moments -- from President Barack Obama’s historic win in 2008 to the attempt to pass the DREAM Act in 2013 to advocating to end Stand Your Ground and Shoot First laws.  Through each of these moments, some tragic and some celebratory, she’s helped craft the stories that cut through the media clutter and lifted up the voices that matter to change culture.

In addition to her communications work, she is a leading fitness instructor in NYC, teaching two methods -- The Class and The SaltDrop.  She currently resides in Brooklyn, NY with her dog, Drake.
