Let's get to know each other

Chiyo is a personalized & integrative food is medicine platform, guiding the women’s health journey through every stage and symptom across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum & beyond. We provide holistic ready-to-eat meal programs, symptom-specific add-ons, nutritional education, and nutrition coaching to help women navigate the grey area of everyday maternal care.

Women’s health has historically been under-researched, underinvested and poorly understood. Women deserve a higher standard of care, one driven by evidence-based practices, informed by innovation in research and provided by experienced professionals.

And that’s why we built the Collective, to bring healthcare professionals across the women’s health journey together. Bringing best practices from different cultures and care models together to share learnings and best practices enables us to elevate the entire ecosystem. 


At Chiyo, we combine centuries-old wisdom with modern nutritional science to provide holistic support during each stage of the journey. Our meals are more than just food; they embody a movement prioritizing women’s health and elevating care standards. 


It takes all of us.
