Unfortunately, adjusting to life as a parent can be overwhelming, leaving little to no time to cook healthy meals. Thankfully, there's a new company dedicated to supporting moms and moms-to-be on their nutrition goals through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Chiyo.

About Chiyo

Founded by Irene Liu and Jennifer Jolorte, the idea behind Chiyo was born in Liu's mom's kitchen when Liu witnessed her mother sending her aunt TCM postpartum meals in the summer of 2020. "And then I went down a rabbit hole and looked at what all these other countries were doing, and I was like "oh, all these other Asian cultures have converged on a very similar way of care that's rooted in food—why is there nothing like this in the US, at least at a large scale and accessible?" says Liu. Soon after, she connected with Jolorte, who has a background in the birthing space, and Chiyo was born.
