Meet The Farmalogical® Team
Founder of Farmalogical®
Olly Lithgow
Hailing from the New Zealand, where organic farming and environmental stewardship were simply a way of life. His mother—an early pioneer of sustainable, regenerative agriculture—inspired him with a worldview rooted in respect for the soil, the animals, and the ecosystems that support us. Those values became the compass that guides him still.
As he grew older, that grounded upbringing blended with a love for adventure. Olly has spent years snowboarding around the world, chasing winter across mountain ranges and cultures. He’s a lifelong soccer fan, and he loves spending time surfing the waves of Southern California, where ocean, movement, and sunlight meet. All of this deepened his appreciation for a strong, resilient body and the kind of nourishment that truly supports an active life.
Those threads naturally pulled him toward medicinal foods, Chinese herbs, and longevity traditions from around the globe. Farmalogical® is where all of that comes together—regenerative agriculture, ancestral nutrition, and global herbal wisdom distilled into everyday nourishment.
Farmalogical® Bone Broth reflects that vision: regenerative New Zealand agriculture, global herbal traditions, and nutrient-dense culinary craft unified into a single nourishing blend.
For Olly, food isn’t just sustenance.
It’s vitality for the body, connection to the earth, and fuel for a life fully—and joyfully—lived.

Science, story, and stamina have always been my thing. I am the kind of person who gets equally excited about diving into the latest immunology research and running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign on the weekend. That combination might seem odd, but it shapes everything about how I approach nutrition.
My interest in food as medicine started in my early 20s as a sprinter trying to understand performance from the inside out. Not just training, but what you put in the body and why it matters at a mechanistic level. That curiosity eventually led me to a Master of Science in Nutrition from NUNM, and to Farmalogical, a brand that takes the same honest, food-first approach I had already built my thinking around.
My goal with every piece of content I write is the same one I had in private practice: help people understand their own biology well enough that they can make good decisions without needing someone to tell them what to do. When someone reads a blog and walks away actually understanding the mechanism, that is the win.
I write about what I find genuinely interesting. Bone broth, adaptogens, connective tissue, the gap between what the research actually says and what the marketing implies. If it gets me down a rabbit hole at midnight, it probably ends up in a blog.
