Pregnancy nutrition, lactation, fertility, and postpartum health—explained through nutritional biochemistry and brought into the kitchen.

Nutritional Biochem is for women who want to understand WHY the foods they eat matter. We explore vitamin and mineral metabolism, mitochondria, hormones, fetal development, breastfeeding nutrition, nutrient bioavailability, and cellular energy production through relaxed conversation and real, nutrient-dense food.

We cook practical meals while exploring the biochemistry happening underneath them. You might come for an easy lentil dinner or mushroom risotto and leave understanding coenzyme A, the TCA cycle, glutathione, niacin metabolism, or why a particular nutrient matters during pregnancy.

My goal is to help women understand their bodies well enough to make thoughtful food choices and nourish themselves and their families.

Come cook with me. We can talk biochemistry while dinner is on the stove.
