And before that, he was a teenager in Isla Vista, Calif. with parents who he described as “kind of hippie.” “They were about health and fitness from the womb,” Faber said. “Organic food, no conventional medicine. You did not want to get sick at my household. It wasn’t like you got some Tylenol or the quick fix. You’re eating raw, drinking vinegar and carrot garlic beet juice.” Faber’s childhood focus on fitness and nutrition helped fuel his career in the UFC and also led him to invest in Trifecta, a meal-delivering nutrition program.
