Having experienced food-related conditions like inflammatory bowel syndrome and gestational diabetes, Bude recognized a market opportunity to solve her own struggle with identifying the right foods. After trial and error with different diets, she realized that a healthy diet is not one-size-fits-all, and that the public and manufacturers of health food and supplements don't have easy access to evidence on how food affects health. Bude saw a gap between consumers and the health food and supplement industry, which led her to develop Tastermonial, a platform that makes personalized nutrition accessible and affordable to people looking for eating choices that match their health condition and preferences.
