That is, to give people living with PKU dietary balance so that they will feel better and get more out of their lives. It\u2019s a lofty mission, to be sure, but we take it very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>All Cambrooke employees &#8211; regardless of department &#8211; understand it, internalize it and try their best to channel it into everything they do.<\/p>\n<p>You could say our mantra \u201c<strong>Feel balanced. Feel better.<\/strong>\u201d provides us with a litmus test of sorts. If option A will help people feel more balanced and option B does not, then we will go with option A every time.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly how we will evaluate our year so that we can perform even better in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did we provide the PKU world as much balance as we possibly could?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only way to know is to ask our customers. Nothing brings us more joy than to witness one of our customers getting more out of life because of Cambrooke products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-942 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cambrooke.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dionne-g-1-800x800-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Dione feeling balanced.

Since she\u2019s been on Glytactin she says that in 2017 her body is finally doing what it needs to be doing. Her energy levels have gone through the roof, she didn\u2019t need to take naps anymore, her concentration improved and \u201ccloudiness\u201d decreased.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take that, PKU<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1067 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cambrooke.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tristan-a-1-800x800-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Tristan feeling balanced\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Or Tristan who lives with PKU and loves swimming, biking and obstacle runs. In 2017 he replaced his energy drink with Glytactin Restore and now has the \u201cfuel\u201d to do it all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Right on the chin, PKU.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-808 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cambrooke.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leann-lechner-500x500.png\" alt=\"Feeling Balanced: Leann L\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And then there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambrooke.com\/blog\/balancing-acts\/\">Leann<\/a>, who nearly brought us all to tears. According to Leann, because of Glytactin she is now able to start a family, whereas before Glytactin she was too worried about staying on the diet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Imagine that. Because of the work we are doing at Cambrooke a woman is now able to start a family. We honestly can\u2019t tell you the joy we feel about Leann\u2019s story and all the stories we heard in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>We thank all of our customers for being customers, for sharing their stories with us, and for the privilege of being their dietary choice in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2018? Bring it on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stories like these get us excited for 2018. Because we know that by being the most of who we are at Cambrooke, others living with PKU can be more of who <em>they<\/em> are.<\/p>\n<p>We had a good 2017, but we are going to constantly improve, continue innovating, work to enhance the taste of our products, and generally make living with PKU easier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Because our goal in 2018 is for people living with PKU to be the most they have ever been in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Bring it on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this time of year, people tend to reflect on the current year, look at their successes and failures and do their best to learn from it all in order to reshape their thinking for the upcoming year.
