From Crohn’s Disease to Clean Nutrition: Emilia’s Wellness Pivot | Mental

In this episode of Mental, Corey sits down with Emilia Rizzuto, founder of All Things Elderberry, to unpack her powerful journey from battling Crohn’s disease to launching a health and wellness brand rooted in ancient remedies and modern science. Emilia shares how a personal health crisis and a love for research led her to elderberries—and how a simple Facebook post turned into a full-blown business with loyal fans and expanding product lines.

We talk about:

What makes elderberry so effective for immune health

The story behind Emilia’s first homemade batch

Why Missouri is leading in elderberry farming

Turning her kitchen project into a shelf-stable brand

Mouthfeel, street sales, and wild growth

And what’s coming next (yes… elderberry candy 👀)
