Meet our Thistlers: Brandon!
by Lena Kristy
We sat down with one of our LA Thistlers, Brandon, to get his take on his Thistle experience so far. We couldn’t be more stoked to hear how much our service has changed his life. Thanks Brandon for tooting our horn, so we don’t have to ourselves!
Brandon — Tell us a bit more about yourself!
I live in West Hollywood and work as an accountant at a TV production company called Triage Entertainment. It’s funny because we actually do a lot of reality cooking shows, like the Next Iron Chef! I work long days at the office and for the past year, I’ve been so busy at work that I usually don’t get around to eating dinner until around 8:30. Once we’ve cleared and cleaned the dishes, it’s already 10:15 and my day is over! One of the worst things about that schedule is that I don’t have any time at all to exercise.
“And the best part is, Thistle feeds me exactly what I want. Game-changer.”
How has Thistle changed things for you?
First of all, I am so thrilled about Thistle. I work long hours and getting my dinners delivered has freed up so much free time during the week for me. It’s been absolutely crazy. When I discovered Thistle a couple of weeks ago, my life totally changed. Now I have enough time to go to the gym or to a yoga class after work, without having to worry about cooking dinner. It’s so nice to come home to a Thistle meal. I finish dinner at a reasonable hour and not only have I gotten my exercise in, but I suddenly have an hour in the evenings to sit down and relax as well. And the best part is, Thistle feeds me exactly what I want. Game-changer.

What motivates you to eat healthy?
A year ago, I was up at my moms. The first night that I got there we had pizza. Then the next day for lunch we had hamburgers. I felt so sick that weekend- I was cranky too! I got home from the trip and immediately said to myself, no more gluten, no more dairy, and no more processed foods. I’ve felt so much better ever since. Other meal delivery services don’t work for me because they include bread, dairy, and other things that I don’t want to include in my diet. Thistle meals absolutely hit how I want to eat.
Any dishes that like particularly like?
I have loved all of the meals I have had — but I do remember the Summer Abundance Bowl with Pork Tenderloin as particularly yummy!
Have your food preferences changed since eating Thistle?
I now actually crave vegetables… I’ve become quite the vegetable fiend!
We love finding out more about our Thistlers. Please do give us a shout if you have a story about healthy living you’d like to share with us. Thank you again to Willy, Tracy, and all our Thistlers. You are all the best.
