Hi! We’re Harvest Noor – a team of Muslim founders with experience leading physical transformations, as well as experience undertaking our own personal 100lb transformations. Most health & nutrition programs today provide a wealth of information that can take a person from physical lows to highs, but in our own journeys to better health, a program with Islamic and prophetic wisdoms baked in makes the journey lighter, more sustainable, and leave you with more than improved physical energy, it leaves you with noor (light).

We’re looking for founding participants (individuals or families) to try out our programs at discounted rates. Our goal is simple, we want to set you or your whole family up for both spiritual and physical success, and hope that you’ll provide us with feedback to positively impact the journey for future participants.

We setup individuals, families, and communities at large with spiritual & physical wellness through Allah-centric food programs, services, and events. Here’s how.

Our group and individual coaching programs will take you through a journey that combines the best of Islamic and modern nutrition, setting you up with a system for life that places Allah at the center of it all, designed to shatter overwhelming cravings, reduce food-related stress, and harvest physical & spiritual light from your diet.

As research indicates, community backing can make or break an individual’s likeliness to succeed with any endeavor. At Harvest Noor, you’ll be part of a community who is ready to move beyond a life that revolves around food for the sake of cravings in favor of a world of food for the sake of Allah, ensuring spiritual and physical health.

While we help change the heart and build community, we’re simultaneously working to build a network of vetted farms, local food vendors, and health providers who can provide discounted or preferred access exclusive to you to help facilitate affordable access to pure foods closer to the source.
