Drew Lederman, Resist Protein Bar Food Startup Founder
Drew Lederman, Co-Founder & CEO

​​After Drew found out she had PCOS and insulin resistance, she tried her best to follow doctors orders: exercise and eat a low carb/sugar diet. But, the protein bars she was eating were driving her symptoms crazy. Frustrated, she stopped eating them -- too afraid of the long ingredients lists and wrappers coated in endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Fast forward to 2019 and Drew is juggling two part-time jobs, an internship and classes at NYU (New York University). Desperate for a filling snack, she went back to eating bars she knew would make her feel worse. In 2020, she decided enough was enough. Using her experience interning at a startup, Resist was born!
