Taylor Chapman | Personalized Nutrition Through Pregnancy
Taylor Chapman on eating Elevated Eats through pregnancy, bouncing back postpartum, and working with the Elevated Eats naturopathic doctor.
How Taylor Chapman Felt Her Best Through Pregnancy and Postpartum
Personalized Nutrition Built Around One Person.
Personalized nutrition only works if you actually eat it, consistently, every single day. That means the food has to be genuinely excellent, and the plan has to be built around one specific person, not a template.
Taylor Chapman, wife of MLB third baseman Matt Chapman, ate Elevated Eats through her pregnancy, pretty much 100% of the time. Going in, she already knew she had Hashimoto's, an autoimmune thyroid condition that had been in remission before she got pregnant. What mattered to her:
- Eating clean through pregnancy, with food she loved enough to stick with
- Blood work and lab testing with a doctor on the Elevated Eats team
- Getting her Hashimoto's back into remission after testing showed it had returned during pregnancy
- Bouncing back well postpartum
- A household that eats the same way, including Matt during the season
Pregnancy is not the time for a generic plan. The body's needs change month to month, and the plan has to change with it.
A System Built Around the Individual, Not a Template
- Lab work with the Elevated Eats naturopathic doctor: blood work and in-depth testing, more in depth than any she had had before
- Supplements matched to the results: a plan she and Matt still follow, with the doctor still in contact
- Meals built around her: individually designed, chef-prepared food for each stage of pregnancy and postpartum
- Gut health integration: microbiome-supporting ingredients that improve nutrient absorption
- 800+ recipes, rotating menu: so the food never becomes monotonous and the plan stays easy to follow
What Changed for Taylor
- ✨ Felt better than she had ever felt, pregnant or not
- 😊 Her mood was great and her skin was great
- ⚖️ Did not gain excess weight during pregnancy
- 🔄 Bounced back really quickly postpartum
- 🩺 Worked with the Elevated Eats team and doctor to get her Hashimoto's back into remission
- 💪 At home, Matt had more energy, gained muscle, and was as lean as she had ever seen him
"I felt better than I have ever felt, pregnant or not pregnant, and I really think a big part of that was my diet. My mood was great, my skin was great, I didn't gain excess weight at all. It made me bounce back really quick postpartum, and I really do think it's all because of what we put in our bodies."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elevated Eats?
Elevated Eats is a performance meal prep company delivering chef-prepared, individually designed nutrition to professional and serious elite athletes. Every plan starts with your body, your goals, and your schedule — not a template.
How is Elevated Eats different from every other meal prep service?
Most services sell you meals. Elevated Eats builds you a nutrition system designed around your specific body composition data, training demands, and performance goals. The difference shows up in results: faster recovery, better sleep, measurable body composition change within weeks.
What's the onboarding process like?
We start with a consultation to understand your goals, training schedule, and body composition targets. From there we design your initial protocol and begin delivery. The plan evolves as your goals evolve.
Do I need to be a professional athlete to work with Elevated Eats?
We work with professional athletes across all major leagues and serious elite athletes committed to using nutrition as a genuine performance tool. The bar is commitment to the process, not a professional contract.
How long until I notice a difference?
Most clients notice changes in energy, digestion, and recovery within the first two weeks. Measurable body composition shifts typically appear by weeks four to six.
