Each plan is created through the collaboration of a Culinary Medicine Chef and a Lifestyle Medicine Specialist, ensuring it’s both science-backed and delicious.

Our meal plans are thoughtfully created by a Culinary Medicine Chef in close collaboration with a Lifestyle Medicine Specialist. Together, we combine medical science and culinary expertise to craft meals that are both healing and flavorful.

Our meals are built on whole, nutrient-dense ingredients and avoid ultra-processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and refined flours. Each plan is thoughtfully tailored to specific health needs while keeping flavors satisfying and balanced.

Every plan is crafted to nourish and heal while keeping meals practical and enjoyable — so you can eat well without feeling deprived.

Unlike typical meal delivery services that focus mainly on weight loss or convenience, Passion Kitchen MNL is rooted in the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine — nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, avoiding harmful substances, and positive relationships.

We believe true health shouldn’t rely on medication alone. Food should play a central role in prevention and healing. That’s why every meal is designed by a Culinary Medicine Chef in collaboration with a Lifestyle Medicine Specialist, ensuring each dish supports disease management, longevity, and overall wellness.

Our plans go beyond calories and macros. We use whole, minimally processed ingredients, clean natural seasonings, and thoughtful preparation to prioritize balance, flavor, and nourishment. Every box you receive is more than just food — it’s culinary medicine, made practical for everyday life.

Yes. We carefully source every ingredient, choosing organic whenever possible and keeping our meals completely free from refined sugars, artificial additives, and ultra-processed oils.

What sets our menu apart is the thoughtful ingredient selection and preparation. We use only clean, natural seasonings — such as pink Himalayan salt, coco aminos, muscovado sugar, coconut oil, and olive oil — and rely mostly on water-based cooking methods to avoid unnecessary fats while keeping flavors vibrant.

We also take an extra step for safety and quality: all meats and vegetables are ozonated before cooking to help remove toxins, pesticides, and contaminants.

Every meal is the result of a partnership between science and the kitchen — crafted to heal, nourish, and satisfy with every bite.

Our meal plans are designed around Lifestyle Medicine principles — a scientifically supported approach proven to help prevent, manage, and, in some cases, reverse many chronic conditions. Combined with healthy habits such as regular movement, quality sleep, and stress management, our programs can play a key role in long-term health improvement.

• Metabolic Health: Our meals can help prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome, and in some cases support reversal when paired with sustained lifestyle change.
  
• Kidney Support: The renal-friendly plan helps reduce inflammation, sodium load, and oxidative stress, protecting remaining kidney function and supporting overall healing.
  
• Hypertension & Heart Health: Our hypertension plan can help prevent, manage, and sometimes reverse early-stage high blood pressure, while lowering heart disease and stroke risk. It also supports healthy weight loss and improved lipid profiles when paired with movement, sleep, and stress management.
  
• PCOS & Hormonal Health: Nutrition and lifestyle change are first-line therapy for PCOS. While PCOS is chronic, symptoms can often be managed or improved — and in some cases reversed — with sustained dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
  
• Digestive Wellness: For chronic conditions like GERD, while full reversal may not always be possible, our plan helps reduce symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and improve quality of life when followed consistently alongside lifestyle support.
  

Bottom line: Our goal is not just calorie control — it’s to make food a tool for prevention, healing, and long-term wellness, guided by medical science and culinary care.

Portion sizes are personalized based on your current Body Mass Index (BMI) and lifestyle factors — such as whether you’re active, moderately active, or mostly sedentary. This ensures you get the right amount of calories and nutrients to support your health goals, whether that’s maintaining weight, managing a condition, or fueling an active lifestyle.

No. Our meal plans are specifically formulated to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day — unlike restrictive diets that can cause blood sugar crashes and cravings.

Meals are:

• Thoughtfully portioned with the right balance of fiber-rich plant foods, healthy fats, and appropriate protein levels to nourish you without overloading your system (especially important for kidney health).
  
• Designed around low-calorie, high-volume foods such as leafy greens, non-starchy vegetables, and light soups that help you feel full without excess calories, sodium, or processed ingredients.
  
• Built with slow-digesting carbs and balanced macronutrients to keep your energy steady and hunger controlled.
  

If you’re used to very large or irregular meals, the portions may feel lighter at first — but they’re intentionally crafted to satisfy, nourish, and support better digestion while preventing issues like reflux.
