Nomaste Cakes: "Go with your heart. If you think too much about it, It probably won't happen. Just jump in and go for it."

Eric and guest host Olivia Kinczel sit down with Lydia Dolsen from Nomaste Cakes. Lydia showed up in the Launchbox like a ray of sunshine to talk about her passion for health and wellness and her delicious plant-based 'cheese'cakes.NOMaste started in the kitchen of Lydia Dolsen and was born out of a desire to combat autoimmune disorders within her and her daughter. The only thing that helped was a whole food diet in combination with essential oils and supplements. She devoted herself to hours of study and research and eventually turned her education into delicious cakes that everyone could enjoy without feeling guilty.In fact, these tasty treats can even nurture their bodies!Our company specializes in making the cleanest and most creative desserts on the market today.
