At Meal Maps, we’re changing the game for anyone dealing with multiple chronic conditions by offering delicious, health-focused recipes tailored just for you. Our team of dietitians and nurses craft each meal with care, ensuring they meet the specific needs of each person while still being tasty. Prefer not to cook? Our heat-and-eat meals make healthy eating simple and enjoyable. We’re here to make sure even people with chronic health conditions can enjoy great food that supports their well-being every day.
FROM AISLES OF CONFUSION TO PLATES OF HEALTH: THE BIRTH OF MEAL MAPS
Meal Maps was born out of necessity and a passion for helping people with chronic conditions live their best lives. We are an online-based business dedicated to providing recipes tailored to individuals with multiple chronic health conditions. Our team of health professionals ensures that every recipe is designed to meet specific health needs without compromising on taste.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 6 in 10 Americans have at least one chronic condition, and 4 in 10 have two or more. With 80% of these conditions being manageable through diet and lifestyle changes, there’s a tremendous opportunity to reduce the $3.7 trillion spent annually on chronic disease management.
Our journey began in 2019 when our founder’s mother was diagnosed with multiple chronic health conditions. As a registered nurse with a master’s degree in public health, she knew diet would be crucial to her wellness. However, standing in the grocery store aisles, she realized how complex it was to manage multiple conditions through diet. Despite her expertise, she found no comprehensive resources online or in apps to guide her. It was then she knew she had to create Meal Maps—a resource for everyone facing similar challenges.
Meal Maps provides ease and peace of mind. We currently cover eight chronic health conditions, allowing users to select the relevant conditions and receive appropriate meal suggestions. Our platform acts as a health expert answering the question “What can I eat?” before it is even asked. With filters for dietary preferences, meal planning tools, grocery lists, and direct grocery ordering, we make deciding what to cook easier than ever. Plus, we’re expanding our offerings to include “heat and eat” meals, ensuring convenience without sacrificing health.
Meal Maps envisions a world where people can thrive despite chronic conditions, potentially overcoming them through lifestyle changes.

This new offering will make it even easier for our users to access healthy meals without the hassle of cooking, allowing them to focus on their wellness journey.
Another exciting milestone is our planned expansion into more chronic health conditions. By broadening the scope of our tailored recipes and meal plans, we can support an even larger portion of the population, addressing the unique dietary needs of various health issues. We are also thrilled about the potential collaborations with local healthcare institutions and professionals in Georgia. These partnerships will not only enhance the credibility of our services but also allow us to reach more individuals in need of our support. By working closely with hospitals, clinics, and health organizations, we can integrate our services into broader health initiatives and contribute to a more holistic approach to chronic disease management.
In summary, Meal Maps is poised for significant growth and innovation. We are eager to launch new services, expand our offerings, forge meaningful partnerships, enhance our technology, and advocate for positive change—all with the goal of improving the lives of those with chronic health conditions.
