10 YEARS. 💚
Sometimes, I still find it hard to believe that something I started with a simple idea and a big heart has now been part of my life for an entire decade.
In 2016, The Healthy Project by Chef MD began with a vision—to combine my two worlds, nutrition and food, and create something that could genuinely help people live healthier lives.
Back then, I didn't know exactly how far it would go.
I just knew I wanted to do something meaningful.
There were no guarantees. No perfect roadmap. Just a belief that healthy food could be delicious, that nutrition should be practical, and that the knowledge of a simple RND could reach people beyond the walls of a clinic.
And somehow, one meal became another.
One client became many.
One small idea slowly became a community. 💚
Over the last 10 years, The Healthy Project has gone through different seasons—and so have I.
There were successes that made me proud, challenges that made me question myself, quiet seasons, changes, mistakes, lessons, and moments when I had to remind myself why I started in the first place.
But through all of it, the purpose remained.
Every message from a client who felt better…
Every person who learned to have a healthier relationship with food…
Every family who trusted us with their meals…
Every client who came back…
Every person who recommended us to someone they loved…
Those moments reminded me that this was always more than a business.
It was an advocacy.
And perhaps that is why, after a decade, The Healthy Project by Chef MD is still here—and its purpose feels even more relevant today.
But I also believe that after 10 years, it is time to dream bigger.
Behind the scenes, we have been working on something very close to my heart. In 2027, we will begin introducing a new system created not only for our clients, but also for my fellow Registered Nutritionist-Dietitians.
A system that I hope can help connect more people with credible nutrition care, create opportunities for fellow RNDs, and allow us to reach and serve more communities.
I cannot share everything just yet, but I can say this:
The next chapter of Chef MD will be bigger than healthy meal delivery. 🌱
Ten years ago, I started with the question, “How can I use what I know about food and nutrition to help people?”
Today, that question has become bigger:
“How can we help more nutrition professionals help more Filipinos?”
Because ultimately, this is the future I want CHEF MD to contribute to—
a Philippines where proper nutrition is understood, credible nutrition care is more accessible, our RNDs are empowered, and healthier choices become possible for more Filipino families. 🇵🇭
To everyone who has been part of our story—from our very first clients to those who discovered us only recently—thank you.
10 years down. A lifetime of purpose ahead.
This is no longer just about building a business.
This is about helping build a healthier Philippines. 🇵🇭💚
And somehow, I feel like we're only just beginning.
