FOUNDING STORY

"If you hadn't made these changes to your lifestyle and diet, you would 100% be dead now."

Those were the sobering words my cardiologist shared with me just over a year ago. At the time, I was running multiple businesses in Hong Kong, grappling with the intense stress and uncertainty of navigating through the COVID pandemic. This relentless pressure and unhealthy lifestyle eventually caught up with me, leading to a moment that completely reshaped my life.

About a year before this alarming health scare, I'd picked up a pre-workout supplement and paused, wondering, "What's actually in this?" The ingredient list was daunting, filled with ultra-processed additives and words I couldn't even begin to pronounce. This sparked a deeper curiosity about the true nature of what we consume daily.

The gravity of my health scare forced me to reassess everything, emphasizing how critical our food choices are, not only for our physical health but also for our mental clarity and emotional resilience. This personal experience inspired me to create FORM, a space dedicated to providing genuinely clean, nutrient-rich wholefoods and specialty coffee designed to support and enhance lasting health.

To bring this vision to life, I teamed up with our Head Chef and Nutritionist, Dylan Brace, former owner of The Corner Store Cafe. Together, we have carefully curated an offering that prioritizes both flavour and function, showcasing ingredients that are as good for the body as they are for the soul.

At FORM, we meticulously source ingredients, eliminate harmful additives, and focus entirely on nourishment that fuels vitality and wellbeing. My own journey has profoundly reinforced the importance of our mission, and I'm passionate about sharing this commitment with our community.

I warmly invite you to visit FORM, enjoy our thoughtfully prepared food and coffee, and perhaps find inspiration for your own health journey. If you'd like to learn more or explore opportunities to collaborate, please get in touch, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

Warm regards,

Jared Lawler
