MEET DAVID

Biome Foods was founded by biohacker, actor, technologist, entrepreneur, L2 CrossFit Coach and co-owner of CrossFit Dynamix in Astoria, NYC, David Choi. Having lost his sister (his only sibling) to a medical misdiagnosis at the age of 17 (she was 20), David has been on a lifelong crusade to promote healthy lifestyles and preventative care and advocates for a world where people are educated and empowered to be the CEO of their own health.

In a country where medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death,

Biome Foods strives to produce health foods that optimize one’s gut microbial composition, starting with our flagship product, Ginger Jam. Because we wholeheartedly believe that everything has everything to do with your gut health–if that’s in order, everything else will fall into place as they should.

David is also the creator, Executive Producer, and host of the popular (live) health talk show in NYC, Biohack the World, where hundreds would gather each month to hear notable speakers talk about the latest advancements in functional medicine, nutritional science, health optimization, and everything in between.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, putting the Biohack the World show on an indefinite pause. But our community’s collective predilection for longevity, maximizing healthspans, and peak performance continued on in a big way.

Having been dealt a new set of priorities (to stay strong and cold/flu/COVID-free), David set out to improve on his family’s recipe for cold/flu prevention…

Which started as simply, raw ginger and Apple Cider Vinegar, and added Manuka honey and elderberry to create the mother of all gut-healthy foods to boost his immune system (sharing the recipe with friends and family). And today, David relies on Ginger Jam for a full range of health benefits from oral to gut to sexual health (also great for his wife’s sexual health!).

Biome Foods strives to share this life-saving knowledge with as many people as possible. To that end, as a technologist and supporter of open-source models of research and development, David encourages anyone to learn how to make Ginger Jam at home for themselves and to make any improvements they see fit. Please share your results with the world in the comments!

We aren’t just creating products—we are building a community of biohackers, health enthusiasts, and people ready to take control of their well-being. We are on a mission to inspire and guide you with trusted, science-backed ingredients that truly make a difference.
