My Story

Ant Real - Founder of SwapHealthy

Ant Real

Parent, Home Cook & Developer

Hi, I'm Ant Real, a parent, home cook and developer with a passion for healthy living. I created SwapHealthy because I was frustrated with the choice between food that tasted good and food that was good for me and my family. I wanted a simple guide to make better choices without sacrificing flavor.

My goal is to empower other home cooks with the same tools and knowledge. This site is the result of that journey—a comprehensive guide to making healthier ingredient substitutions, one delicious swap at a time.
