Ask anything. Show me your fridge. No pressure.

This is for you if:

You want to eat better but don’t know what that means anymore.You’ve been told what not to eat — but not what to actually buy or do.

Hands-On Coaching

This is not a diet plan. This is a real-life, no-shame, logistics-first coaching relationship that helps you figure out how to actually eat.Together, we’ll:
- 🧊 Tour your fridge & pantry (on Zoom!)
- 🛒 Grocery shop together (online)
- 🏷️ Learn how to read ingredients (even if you eat everything)
- 🧠 Build food routines
- 🖥️ Create a weekly grocery cart you can actually stick to
- 💬 Check in between sessions when life gets messy

Don’t focus on what to eat. Focus on what to buy.
Then eat what’s in your fridge and pantry. That’s where we begin.

- No need to change your budget — we work with what you have
- If your sister brings home Oreos? Enjoy the cookies until they’re gone. Back to plan.
- Ayuko will be there for you.

Meet Your Coach – Ayuko

Hi, I’m Ayuko. I’m not a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist — and I won’t pretend to be. But I’ve lived with severe dietary restrictions due to hereditary autoimmune chronic pancreatitis for decades (until spontaneous remission in April 2024)— and I’ve helped hundreds of people navigate food with joy, not fear.

Yes, I'm Japanese, and I live in Japan. I’ve been cooking since I was 5. Also. I grew up as the only neurotypical person in an autistic and ADHD family of origin. Half of my family now lives in Southern California, and one of our special interests is food.Since 2015, I’ve written over 953 blog posts on how to:
- Eat with food restrictions
- Build a fridge that takes care of you
- Set up an optimal kitchen for you
- Travel, date, and live with food constraints
- Create a life that suits you👉 Check out food photos: What I Ate This Month

FAQ

Do I need to cook?
Nope. First, we focus on feeding you well, and feeding you ≠ cooking. Cooking comes later — and only if you want it.
---
Do I need a big food budget?
No. We work with what you have.
---
What if I eat fast food all the time?
Good. That’s your starting point. I won’t judge — I’ll help.
---
Do you coach online?
Yes. All sessions are on Zoom. You can live anywhere.
---
What if my fridge is gross/empty/chaotic?”
Perfect. That’s where we start. Your fridge is just a snapshot of life, not a reflection of who you are. No judgment, just help. And I promise: I can’t smell a thing from this side of the screen.
---
Can I really bring you to my supermarket?
Yes. That’s the point.
