It’s been a whimsical journey of pure luck and higher consciousness. Brett Casper has operated businesses in 4 countries. Is recognized in NY Magazine for opening New York City’s “First Kombucha Café,” “Food and Wine Magazine awarded his Pure Kombucha™ “Top 5 Best..” Elle Decor featured his Bangkok brewery and Lifestyle Asia named it the #1 wellness destination in Asia.
He’s sold kombucha and wellness from Erewon to LVMH group brands and Michelin Stars. The media dubbed him a wellness “pioneer,” and coaching clients call him guru. He’s more an anti-guru. “You are a You-Ru.“ Casper casually says. “Everything comes from inside of you. It’s not a new statement but rather a foundational one.” We are living inside the web of consciousness.
In his role as a certified breathwork facilitator he talks about how when your breath fades, you by definition ‘lose consciousness.’ Unfold this, breathing incorrectly – impacts your clarity and connection. Master your breathing and everything gets easier. The physiological mechanisms of molecules; oxygen and CO2 regulate and change your body chemistry. People literally change themselves.
During covid Casper wrote his first book, a so called memoir from the Anthropocene. The Political Gut: Reset Your Reality takes a pointed look at the politics of your gut health and the science behind food systems. Interwoven are vignettes from his own spiritual journey and awakening process. It’s a rough edge of philosophies and food science meant to stir the reader to connect their own dots.
Publishers Weekly says – The Political Gut is “Approaching toxicity and the manipulation of the public from fresh angles—psychologically, scientifically, politically—The Political Gut offers much to chew on,” and compared it to titles like, Mark Schatzker’s The Dorito Effect and Chris van Tulleken’s Ultra-Processed People.
Many timelines ago, Casper worked professionally in luxury arts. Operating his NYC art gallery. Photographing fashion stories, celebrities and musicians in Tokyo. Doing creative collaborations with agencies like Lloyd & Co.
These days you are more likely to find him at a chateau in Bordeaux or sitting on a rock in Ojai, than a NYC bar or Tokyo ramen shop.
