THE CO-FOUNDERS
The people behind the platform
Natalie Golba
Co-Founder & Co-CEO · Instagram · LinkedIn
Natalie has cooked for NBA athletes and contributed to the Blue Zones Cookbook. But her real obsession is simpler: proving that the healthiest food in the room can also be the dish everyone fights over. She's spent years collecting nutrition credentials from Harvard Medical School, Stanford Medicine, and Cornell, all in service of one question: how do you make eating well feel effortless instead of like homework?

Irina Swan
Co-Founder & Co-CEO · Instagram · LinkedIn
Irina spent a decade fighting chronic gut issues while doctors shrugged. What finally worked wasn't a prescription. It was changing what was on her plate, one week at a time. That experience is why Healthiest Chef exists: she's building the tool she wishes she'd had at year one instead of year ten. Before this, she spent 12+ years building consumer products people actually stick with.
- 12+ years building consumer digital products
- 7+ years in health and wellness
- Loves spreadsheets almost as much as Natalie loves recipe testing
- Overcame her own gut health issues with Natalie's recipes
