About Us
Our Story
The Nourished Patient was inspired by the difficulty of recovering from oral surgery while managing a full-time job, caring for a toddler, maintaining proper nutrition, and getting enough rest—even with the support of a partner. It was an overwhelming challenge.
Drawing on a background in user experience design from the tech industry, I began focusing on solutions to ease the recovery process for others facing similar struggles. This led to the creation of The Nourished Patient, a service designed to reimagine post-operative care by emphasizing exceptional nutrition and thoughtful healing support.
Our Approach
At The Nourished Patient, we approach recovery nutrition with intention and care. From our in-house mineral-rich bone broths to our carefully sourced organic, grass-fed proteins, every ingredient and cooking method is chosen with purpose. We prioritize steam preparation to enhance digestibility, and our foundations remain simple and pure—cooking with avocado oil and grass-fed ghee. We believe that true healing begins with high quality, nutrient-dense ingredients prepared thoughtfully.
Our Services
We transform the healing process through:
- Customized, nutritious meals crafted with premium, healing ingredients
- Expert guidance from our team of Nurse Practitioners and Registered Dietitians

Travel Support

Our Commitment to Quality
Our commitment to quality extends beyond ingredients to the entire healing experience. Every meal is gluten and dairy free, crafted to be as nurturing as it is delicious, incorporating superfoods like spirulina and mineral-rich ingredients that support recovery. We believe transparency is crucial, which is why we're explicit about our cooking processes and ingredient sourcing—allowing you to heal with complete confidence in your nutrition.
