About Sonja
I am a home chef, entrepreneur, consultant, and on a mission to help everyone I meet eat a metabolically healthy diet by cooking delicious, simple, and colorful meals made from whole foods.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to figure out what to cook, what to prepare, what to order, and just generally what to put into my body to ensure I feel and look my best.
During this journey, I’ve honed my approach to food through:
Studying Nutrition Sciences at Stanford Center for Health Education (From this 80 hour course, I have 4X more nutrition training than most MDs who get less than 20 hours of nutrition training during medical school🤯)
Working at Levels health and creating blood sugar friendly recipes for the Levels app
Working with Dr. Casey Means on the launch of Good Energy (the best health book of the century and a #1 NYT Bestseller, baby!)
Reading thousands of books and absorbing content from professionals I deeply respect like Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Sara Gottfried, Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr. Casey Means, Kelly LeVeque, Liz Moody, Shawn Stevenson, Melissa Urban, Ali Layfayette, Beth Bollinger, Calley Means and many others. These people are literally my heroes and I love to follow and learn from their work.
Cooking countless meals for my friends and family
Testing my recipes on a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and experimenting in the kitchen for hours with Alex (my fiance) and Alfie (my sous chef cat)
I’m passionate about solving our metabolic health crisis, and believe food is one of the biggest levers we have to make an impact on ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
