Everyone's heard of Bloom Nutrition, but here's how its founders created a viral path to health & wellness

We all love a good before-and-after story and Bloom Nutrition founder Mari Llewellyn’s incredible transformation and jaw-dropping 90-pound weight-loss journey has motivated millions to take ownership of their health.

Once tipping the scales at 250 pounds, Mari struggled with very low self-esteem. But she decided to take control of her life and started documenting her weight-loss struggles on social media, building a loyal following in the process.

And today, this Instagram and TikTok sensation and her husband Greg are redefining the health and wellness space with health supplements that give every woman the opportunity to bloom into her best self.

The Health Transformation That Went Viral

Before starting her fitness journey, Llewellyn’s confidence was at an all-time low. Overweight and diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder—a mental illness that causes unstable moods, relationships, and behaviors—she developed lots of unhealthy habits that made her feel even worse.

But once she became passionate about fitness and nutrition, everything changed. Her body transformation video went viral and she received hundreds of messages asking about her workout plan. So, she headed to Kinkos to create a PDF workout guide and sold thousands of them on Instagram for just $5.

Hopping on the (Exercise) Bandwagon

With such huge demand for her workout guides and an ever-growing social media following, the couple decided to build a bigger business and invested the money they made from the guides into exercise bands.

After choosing the exercise band prototype, they had 1,000 bands shipped directly to her dad’s house and used Mari’s Instagram to promote their new product, which was an instant success. Oh, and they personally hand-wrote each and every shipping label.

A Trip to GNC That Changed Everything

With rows of supplements, powders, protein shakes, vitamins, and herbs touting many of the same health benefits, a trip to GNC can be overwhelming.

After scanning the aisles for pre-workout powder, Mari noticed all the supplements and marketing were geared towards men… and that gave her an idea.

What if she created health supplements that spoke directly to women like her and her fitness community, and tasted good too? That’s when she came up with the idea for Bloom Nutrition.

Health Supplements Made by Women for Women

Mari’s mission was empowering—to give every woman the opportunity to bloom into her best self. And by offering approachable, easy-to-use, and delicious-tasting health supplements made from high-quality ingredients, she’s been able to deliver on that promise.

To keep it simple, Llewellyn initially launched just a few products she knew would be effective, rather than an entire line that could confuse the customer. With a focus on formulas that are carefully designed to fill any gaps in nutrition, Bloom products are made by women and for women to fuel their own wellness journey.

From Viral on TikTok to Shelves at Target and Walmart

Llewellyn’s passion for health and wellness paid off. Bloom Greens & Superfoods, the wildly popular powder-based supplement formulated to improve immunity, boost energy, reduce bloat, and support gut health, immediately went viral on TikTok with millions of customers singing its praise.

Llewellyn and her husband Greg now have even more reasons to celebrate their best-selling, easy-to-use, and effective health supplements—some of their products are now available at Target and Walmart retail stores nationwide and online.

Does Bloom Nutrition Live Up to the Hype?

Not everything that goes viral on TikTok lives up to the hype, but the millions of health and fitness fanatics who’ve tried (and raved about) Bloom products just can’t be wrong.

If you’d like to bloom into your best self, fuel your fitness, and give your body the nutrients it needs to continue on your health and wellness journey, you owe it to yourself to try Bloom Nutrition.
