As parents, health professionals, and active farmers we wanted to provide our family with fluids that effectively hydrate our body.
When farmers and healthcare professionals come together to create a natural apple juice based electrolyte beverage. Keeping you hydrated, when you need it most.
Pomme MD acts swiftly to support hydration, whenever you need it most.
At Pomme MD, we are proud to be lead by two female healthcare professionals, with the foundational support of 2 incredible Farmers.
Introducing Sabrina Souto and Katie Lewis, the drivers behind Pomme MD. Sabrina, an integral part of the Pomme MD team, bringing over 20 years of experience in clinical practice, specializing in fertility, family health, and complex cases through Fertile Way. Her deep understanding of nutrient-dense, healthy farming practices through Steve and Dan’s Fresh BC Fruit and her commitment to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are at the heart of Pomme MD.
Katie Lewis is an Registed Nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit working with families and babies in their most vulnerable states. Nutrition, care and integrity are at the core of what drives her. She has also been a key part with Steve and Dan’s Fresh BC Fruit, working for 11 years, and is proud to say she knows all the in’s and outs of the formulation. From Orchard to can, we are here to help.
Sabrina's journey took a poignant turn when her mother, Brigita was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in 2022. During this time, Brigita’s need for hydration grew rapidly. As a family they purchased every electrolyte beverage available. Unfortunately, most were filled with artificial sweeteners, colours and additives. Even the so called natural ones, tasted too sweet or contained stevia. This concern led her to sit down with Doctors, Food Scientists and Dieticians to formulate PommeMD. Driven to create something better—an electrolyte drink rooted in shared values of health and nutrition.
Pomme MD was born out of this heartfelt need, and now Sabrina and Katie are excited to share it with families everywhere. Their commitment to creating a unique, healthy product stems from their dedication to improving the lives of others.
PommeMD™ tastes of home and comfort. Its satisfyingly refreshing and mild sweet taste is loved by the entire family. Apples are a fruit that is rich in vitamins and minerals. The perfect choice for all ages!

Sabrina Souto D.Ac.
Sabrina is an essential part of PommeMD. Married to Steve Souto, with 2 amazing children, she understands nutrient dense and healthy farming practices from ground to table. Sabrina is also well versed in the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of an individual, as she has been in clinical practice for 20+ years utilizing her education in Chinese Medicine. Specializing in fertility, family health and complicated cases through Fertile Way she has witnessed first hand how important proper hydration is in times of illness. Sabrina's tipping point was the cancer diagnoses of her mom Brigita in 2022, and her passing in 2023. While trying to keep all choices as healthy as possible through her mom's journey, she grew increasingly concerned about the ingredients in mainstream hydration beverages and medicines. Doctors, Food Scientists and Dieticians connected the dots and together PommeMD was born.
