About Flourish Foods:
Flourish Foods is a meal delivery company that delivers fully-prepared, high-protein meal plans throughout NYC to those wanting to optimize their egg health prior to egg freezing/IVF or trying to conceive.
Founder, Lizzy Cooper:
Lizzy Cooper is a New York City-based private chef. Before she started cooking professionally, she earned her Masters in Social Welfare from UCLA and worked for many years in Los Angeles as a social worker. But then in 2017 Lizzy started LA's first-ever avocado toast stand --AvocaToast by Lizzy--and very soon after was able to quit her full-time job to dedicate herself entirely to the company's growth. She started catering parties, influencer events, music and food festivals, and had farmer's market stand all across Los Angeles, and eventually started private cheffing. For the last several years Lizzy has cooked for celebrity clientele in Los Angeles and New York, and has also dabbled in freelance food styling and recipe development. After freezing her eggs last year and realizing after the fact that no doctor along the way ever mentioned the impact of nutrition on fertility, Lizzy thought up Flourish Foods-- a meal delivery company that delivers fully-prepared, high-protein meal plans throughout NYC to those wanting to optimize their egg health prior to egg freezing/IVF or trying to conceive. As part of her team, she has the amazing fertility-focused nutritionist Dara Godfrey of Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, who approves the menus she creates and whose expertise is invaluable.
Registered Dietician, Dara Godfrey:
Dara Godfrey is a registered dietitian in private practice in Manhattan. At Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) of New York Dara supports patients’ nutritional goals at every stage of infertility treatment and pregnancy, including pre-treatment health and weight loss, prenatal nutrition, and pregnancy nutrition during each trimester.
Dara, a native of Toronto, graduated with a BS in Food & Nutrition at the University of Western Ontario and obtained her RD and Masters in Nutrition at NYU.
Dara is a blog contributor for Body By Simone and RMA of New York, and has been featured in videos on such sites as Fertility Authority and CafeMom. She has also contributed to articles in The Daily News, Self Magazine, Cosmopolitan, HERS, and blogs such as Fitness NYC and The Sweat Life
