Let’s talk about energy.

Not the kind you get from slamming back an espresso shot or sneaking a sugary “treat” at 2 p.m.—you know the one that gives you five minutes of glory and three hours of regret. We’re talking about the kind of energy that sustains you. That clarity you get when your mind is sharp, your body is balanced, and your purpose is aligned. The kind that feels… rare.

But what if that kind of energy wasn’t rare?

What if it came in a perfectly portioned, nutrient-dense, whole-food snack that actually tastes good and does real things for your brain, your stamina, and your immune system?

What if it came from a brand built not in a boardroom, but born out of adversity, fueled by passion, and driven by a deeply human mission?

What if that snack… was a ball?

The Beginning: One Man’s Journey Through the Storm

Jon Carter didn’t set out to create a functional food brand. He was just a guy living his life in Sandy, Utah—until he got hit with a diagnosis that no 30-year-old expects: testicular cancer.

Let that sink in. One moment you’re planning your future, and the next, you’re thrown into a world of scans, surgeries, chemo, and hospital waiting rooms.

But Jon is a fighter. And fighters look for every weapon they can get their hands on—whether it’s conventional medicine or ancient wisdom. As he began his cancer treatment, he noticed how depleted he felt—physically, mentally, emotionally. The fatigue was real, and so was the fog.

That’s when he started researching natural ways to rebuild his energy and clarity. And that’s when he stumbled across something that would change his life—and potentially yours too: functional mushrooms.

The Magic of Mushrooms (No, Not Those Mushrooms)

Now, don’t check out at the word “mushroom.” This isn’t a trip through a psychedelic forest. It’s a deep dive into nature’s most underrated wellness heroes—Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps.

You may have heard of them before, tucked away in health blogs or buried in supplement aisles. But here’s what makes these mushrooms different:

Lion’s Mane is a neuro-regenerator. It contains erinacines—compounds studied for their ability to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports brain health, mental clarity, and focus.

Cordyceps is the endurance enhancer. Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, it contains cordycepin, known for boosting ATP production (that’s your body’s energy currency) and improving stamina and oxygen utilization.

Both are rich in Beta-Glucans, polysaccharides that supercharge the immune system and support overall cellular health.

Jon didn’t just pop capsules or mix them into smoothies. He did what anyone craving real comfort would do—he made a snack. One that worked. One that helped. One that he knew could help others, too.

From Kitchen to Movement: The Birth of Odd Balls

What started as a kitchen experiment became Odd Balls—a name that’s as bold and quirky as the brand itself. But don’t let the humor fool you. This brand is built on integrity, intention, and impact.

The mission? Simple. Create an easy, tasty, totally clean snack that delivers serious wellness benefits without the gimmicks.

Let’s break that down.

What’s Actually Inside These Little Balls of Power?

Meet the Organic Mushroom Energy Balls – Lemon & Cherry.

Each one is handcrafted with:

Organic dates – nature’s caramel, packed with fiber and energy.

Cashews – creamy, plant-based protein and healthy fats.

Tart cherries or lemon extract – depending on your flavor vibe.

Himalayan salt – because minerals matter, and balance is beautiful.

The secret sauce? The Funguy Blend™:

2% Erinacines (from Lion’s Mane)

1% Cordycepin (from Cordyceps)

30% Beta-Glucans

All packed into a perfectly portioned, clean snack you can eat anytime, anywhere.

These aren’t just “energy balls.” They’re a functional food, which means they’re designed not just to fill you up—but to fuel you up.

No Weird Stuff, Ever

Let’s face it—health foods can get weird. Chalky protein bars. Gummy vitamins with aftertastes that haunt you. “Healthy” snacks that read like a chemistry textbook.

Odd Balls? They’re different.

Every product is:

USDA Organic

Non-GMO

Vegan & Plant-Based

Gluten-Free

Dairy-Free

That means no fillers, no preservatives, no artificial anything. Just real food with real benefits and a surprisingly delicious taste.

The Lemon version is bright and zesty, the perfect mid-morning pick-me-up. The Cherry version is rich and fruity, making a great post-workout bite or a healthy dessert alternative.

But the Real Secret? It’s the Mission

You see, this isn’t just about energy.

It’s about impact. About healing. About turning pain into purpose.

With the One Ball Initiative, a portion of every purchase goes directly to nonprofits that support young adults fighting cancer. Because Jon knows firsthand how lonely and under-supported that journey can be.

Through partnerships with organizations like the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation, Odd Balls helps raise awareness, promote early detection, and offer hope—one snack at a time.

When you eat an Odd Ball, you’re not just nourishing yourself. You’re contributing to a community of warriors and survivors.

Wellness That Actually Works for Real Life

You don’t have to be climbing mountains to need energy. Maybe you’re just trying to survive the Monday meeting. Or school pickup. Or yet another Zoom call that could’ve been an email.

That’s the beauty of Odd Balls. They meet you where you are. They’re designed for real people living real lives.

Whether you’re:

An athlete pushing your limits,

A busy parent chasing toddlers,

A student burning the midnight oil,

Or someone just trying to feel a little more you again…

Odd Balls has your back. In fact, many customers say they feel the difference within just a few days of snacking on these little powerhouses.

A Wellness Routine You’ll Actually Stick To

Because let’s be honest—nobody wants another supplement to remember. Another thing to blend. Another complicated ritual.

Odd Balls makes it easy. Toss a pack in your gym bag, your car, your office drawer. You don’t need a fridge. You don’t need instructions. You just need a bite and a moment.

And if you’re someone who skips breakfast (no shame, we’ve all been there), these are a fantastic, gut-friendly way to start the day.

Add These Daily Habits for Maximum Impact

While Odd Balls are a superstar snack, pairing them with a few simple daily habits can take your energy and wellness to the next level:

1. Sunlight First Thing in the Morning

Expose your eyes to natural light within the first hour of waking. It resets your circadian rhythm, improves mood, and boosts alertness.

2. Start Your Day with Water + Minerals

Before coffee, hydrate with filtered water, a pinch of Himalayan salt, and a squeeze of lemon. It rehydrates your cells and supports adrenal health.

3. Breathe With Intention

Try 4-7-8 breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Great for stress relief and improving mental clarity.

4. Move a Little, Often

Don’t underestimate the power of a 10-minute walk. Movement enhances digestion, mood, and energy production.

5. Prioritize Joy

Laughter, creativity, connection—these are essential nutrients too. Your emotional energy matters just as much as your physical stamina.

When you combine these habits with the nutritional and cognitive benefits of Odd Balls, you’re not just snacking—you’re strategizing your health.

And If You’re Skeptical… That’s Okay

Odd Balls gets it. There are a lot of products out there making big promises.

That’s why they created the Funguy Promise: love them or your money back. No drama, no hoops, no hard feelings.

They believe in their product because it was born from real need. Because every batch is crafted with intention. Because they know—when you feel the shift—you’ll never look at snacking the same way again.

So… What’s Stopping You?

Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you just want one thing to feel easier.

This could be it.

Just one change. One snack. One choice to fuel your body in a way that’s kind, conscious, and genuinely effective.

And who knows? You might feel sharper. More energized. More you.

All because you gave a little oddball a shot.

Be Curious. Be Bold. Be the Ball

Odd Balls isn’t just a brand. It’s a movement.

It’s about rethinking what energy looks like. Rewriting the rules of wellness. And reminding ourselves that small, simple choices can lead to radical transformation.

So go ahead. Try the Organic Mushroom Energy Balls in Lemon & Cherry. Taste them. Feel them. Share them.

You never know—your next bite could be the first step to feeling like your best self again.

Odd Balls

Organic Energy with Purpose.

For your mind. For your body. For the journey ahead.
