Yeast Whey educates and inspires young people from all backgrounds to live physically active, nutritionally healthy lives. It started on the Southside of Chicago.
Living a healthy lifestyle is harder in lower-income communities. Yeast Whey works to fight the food deserts and food swamps on the Southside of Chicago and in communities beyond, through education, fundraising, and community.
Organic Oneness is a grassroots social justice organization promoting healing and wellness for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Together we raise awareness and funds for marginalized communities living in food deserts with high obesity and mortality rates, including at community events like the U-High Track and Field competition.
The Yeast Whey program has been delivered at farmers markets, schools, and community organizations across Chicago and beyond.

Founded in September 2021 at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Members met weekly to learn about muscle groups, nutrition, and mental health, then trained together in the U-High fitness center.
I’m Carter Chang. I started Yeast Whey as a student at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools (class of ’24), and I’m now at Cornell University’s Dyson School. Changing the way I ate and lived gave me results I never expected, and it’s my mission to share that with as many people as I can.
A few things that came from that lifestyle:
Why the Mid-Victorian diet is considered one of the healthiest in history.
A guide to the muscles above the waist: chest, back, shoulders, forearms, biceps, and triceps.
A guide to the muscles from the hips down: quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes.
What protein, fiber, natural sugar, calcium, carbs, and vitamins do for your body, and where to find them.
