From a young a, Joyce Zhu suffered from a rare autoimmune disorder that doctors could not explain and medicine could not fix. One day her mother, Jane, noted they didn't have "fancy food" when she was a child, but they also didn't have "strange disorders and diseases. Everyone ate their mother's cooking and got plenty of sun and sweat." Inspired, Joyce began to run experiments with her diet and exercise regimes. She quit sugar for a month, exercised 1-2 hours a day, only ate vegetables and lean meats, and would spend 1-2 hours a day cooking. Miraculously, she saw improvement, but it wasn't sustainable as Joyce was also leading a busy life and loved sweets too much. It was then that Jane started hand-making the milky and chewy sweet treats from her childhood. Joyce realized not only that they were delicious, but also how nutritious and travel-friendly they were.
