What's Cooking in the MUIR Kitchen?

What’s cooking in the MUIR kitchen? Here are the newest and juiciest updates from MUIR HQ from September, 2022.

MUIR Energy is Dropping "Clean" From Its Lingo. Here's Why.

At MUIR Energy, we believe that optimal health relies on eating whole foods–but it’s equally important to be able to enjoy all foods in moderation. While we love creating tasty and powerful energy gels, our priority is to encourage everyone to eat well AND live well. That’s why we’re removing the word “clean” from all marketing, including our mission statement.

Introducing Lauren MacLeod, our new Content and Community Lead

Welcome Lauren to the MUIR team! Lauren MacLeod, RD, LD is a board-certified registered dietitian specializing in outdoor sports nutrition. Even though she's based out of Mammoth Lakes, CA, she's not your typical dirtbag. Lauren has worked in medical nutrition therapy, integrative medicine, eating disorder treatment, elite athlete nutrition, and copywriting and consulting services in the outdoor and wellness industries. Outside of her role at MUIR, Lauren works with Outdoor Women's Wellness to develop nutrition programming and offer virtual coaching to outdoor athletes of all genders. Her goal with MUIR is to use evidence-based nutrition information to help athletes ditch diet culture and instead focus on balanced nutrition and body respect.

2020 in Review: False Summits Be Damned

By MUIR Founder & CEO Ian Muir McNally 2020 was supposed to be our breakout year. Everyone thought so. All of t...

Founder's Corner: Journaling, Schubert & Jack Daniels

This has been one long tough year.  The economic and public health impacts of COVID-19 have been devastating. MUIR’s mettle has been tested like never before. Through hard work, determination and creative thinking, we have not only survived 2020: we have grown by ~25%. Leading MUIR requires a lot of mental and physical energy. Three activities I use to keep me functioning at my best are journaling, making music and running.

Independent Retailers

Born in the High Sierra out of necessity for something better, MUIR’s beginnings point back to the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market and a handful of independent retailers in San Diego that were willing to give us a try. And thanks to those small shops that saw something special in our real food nutrition, we have built a long lasting relationship with mutual support at its core.

MUIR In The Community

In the past months, with your help, we’ve donated hundreds of gels to healthcare and front line workers around the country. We recently teamed up with Bike for Humanity to support those impacted by COVID-19 and donated a percentage of sales from Mother’s Day to a local San Diego non-profit, Home Start, supporting those challenged by the stay home mandate. And during MUIR-th Day (John Muir’s bday and Earth Day) donated to the JMT Wilderness Conservancy to help ready the trail for re-opening.
