Meet Casey, Nutritionist + Farmers Market Maven

Nutritionist and market curator, Casey Barbles, completed her Master's in Clinical and Functional Nutrition at The University of Bridgeport in 2020 after battling many rare and life-altering syndromes and chronic conditions. She is a real food + wellness expert in Houston, TX and the founder/creator behind The Informal Grub, LLC which operates the Heights Mercantile and Rice Village Farmers Market in the Houston-area and co-owner of The Feel Good Group which is also a market events company in the Houston-area.

After receiving several lifelong health diagnoses in 2016, Casey started her personal wellness journey and “The Grub” that holds a focus on science-based nutrition and self-care techniques. The Informal Grub is a place where she shares personal stories, seasonal recipes, lifestyle tips, and gives a voice to wonderful local businesses and farms to support. With a strong handle on what has ailed her, Casey is enjoying helping others heal on their own individual journey. Looking to become a client? Shoot Casey an email here.

Loyal to Local & Seasonally Supreme

Guided by nutritional science and sustainable habits, Casey hopes to change the way people 'grub' by showing how food can be used as information and that healthy eating doesn't need to be flavorless or over-complicated. She is extremely driven in spreading the love of local ingredients and encouraging the community in getting curious about where their food comes from and the benefits of seasonal eating from local farmers markets.

Meet Me at the Market

Casey loves to cook using seasonal and local ingredients from her farmers markets and gets true enjoyment from learning unique ways to heal using real, whole foods. She spends a lot of time and energy furthering her education to ensure her future clients are receiving proper individualized care, finding ways to attain goals, develop sustainable habits and feel hopeful and supported throughout their wellness journey.

Her passion for healing skyrocketed when she noticed that what she was putting in her body mattered. She began to source her produce, herbs, fish, meat and cooking staples from local farmers markets after seeing the shifts in her healing.

It was then Casey knew she had to spread this message to the community (and really anyone else that would listen). What you put in your body matters, food is information to the body and can heal by using the science of nutrition when combined with other wonderful healing modalities.

If you are looking to get a jump start on your healing journey or simply are interested in supporting local, shoot me a message! I would love to hear from you.
