A Personal Story on My Why

A few years ago, a lovely lady came to see me for help managing her IBS. She was overwhelmed, frustrated, and just wanted clarity about what to eat. 

As a dietitian, my first instinct was to teach her about nutrition—to help her build her confidence in making food choices. But then she said something that stopped me in my tracks: 

💬 “It’s okay for you—you understand this stuff. I just want something to follow to get me started.”

That simple sentence hit me hard. 

She didn’t need a lecture. She didn’t want to spend hours figuring out what was ‘safe’ to eat. She just wanted a clear, personalised plan to follow—something to reduce the overwhelm and give her confidence right away. 

This didn't mean not educating her and building her confidence around safe food choices, but rather doing that while also providing a meal plan to help reduce that feeling of overwhelm.

It was in that moment that I realised: meal planning shouldn’t be a struggle. 

For people like her, and for the nutrition professionals trying to support them, I knew there had to be a better way. 

That’s why I created MEALZEE:
