When you hear the word “keto” you might think weight loss, ‘fad diet’, or maybe even influencer. The trend has grown immensely in the last few years alone, but for The Cookie Department, building a ketogenic-focused food company has an intense depth, vision, and value you can taste.After 10 years of creating delicious and functional cookies, The Cookie Department transitioned from superfood cookies to keto cookies. Elannah Resnikoff, who is the wife of The Cookie Department’s founder, Akiva Resnikoff, required a ketogenic diet for years to help manage the debilitating effects of multiple traumatic brain injuries. Consistently, her team of doctors recommended incongruous treatment protocols, with her body often feeling like a trial and error test subject. In alignment and agreement, the doctors recommended she try a ketogenic diet that would help her decrease brain inflammation and stabilize her blood sugar. As the couple set out to satiate Elannah’s sweet tooth cravings, they tried every keto cookie out there. Nothing was as satisfying as the cookies Akiva made for her. In recognizing the growing popularity of the keto diet outside of requirements for specific health cases like epilepsy, kidney failure, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, they decided to align mission and move their entire product line to Keto.Elannah and Akiva launched their first two Keto cookie flavors, “Cake Walk” and “Mint Condition” in late 2019, and are now launching their latest flavor, “Champion Chip” with proceeds from this offering. “Champion Chip” aims to inspire everyone to be their own champion, and manage their diet for their own reasons whether medical, weight loss, or otherwise.
