The NYT bestselling author and founder of PlantYou® brings her mission of accessible, nourishing plant-based living to the VIMERGY family.
At VIMERGY, every decision we make comes back to one question: does this genuinely help our community to nourish the life they love? That's why we're so proud to introduce Carleigh Bodrug as our new Chief Recipe Officer, a role born from a natural alignment of values.
Carleigh is the creator of PlantYou®, a digital meal-planning movement that has grown to a community of over 11 million followers worldwide. She is also the author of two New York Times bestselling cookbooks, including the PlantYou Scrappy Cookbook, a guide to eating healthier while reducing food waste and saving money. Her work has helped redefine what it means to eat plant-based, not as a sacrifice, but as a vibrant, practical, and delicious way of living.
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
Carleigh's story didn't begin with a cookbook deal or a viral recipe. It began with a deeply personal question about the connection between food and long-term health. One that emerged from watching her own family navigate a cancer diagnosis. That search for answers evolved into a blog, then a brand and ultimately, a global community united around the idea that what we eat matters.
That origin story resonates deeply with us at VIMERGY. We've always believed that the foods and supplements we choose each day have the power to shape how we feel and the quality of our lives. When we met Carleigh, it was clear she believed the same thing.
What This Means for Our Community
As Chief Recipe Officer, Carleigh will bring her signature approach — accessible, ingredient-forward and genuinely delicious — to the VIMERGY world. Expect plant-based recipes thoughtfully enhanced with pure and potent VIMERGY supplements, along with education on how to weave these ingredients into everyday rituals that support long-term wellness.
PlantYou® has always been about making nourishment feel easy and joyful not intimidating. That philosophy pairs beautifully with how we think about supplementation at VIMERGY: not as an add-on, but as an intentional part of caring for yourself. Together, we want to show that real food and real ingredients can work in harmony to help you feel your best.
Through years of building PlantYou®, Carleigh has remained grounded in a simple but powerful belief: that eating well shouldn't feel like a chore, a compromise or a luxury. It should feel like a gift you give yourself every day.
In her role with VIMERGY, Carleigh will continue doing exactly that, now with an expanded toolkit and a community that's equally passionate about getting the most out of every ingredient, every meal, every day.
