The Team Behind MyMealAid *

We're building MyMealAid to close the gap between a diagnosis and daily action combining nutrition expertise, lived experience, and product development.

Why I Built MyMealAid

By Ayman Begum

When my father immigrated to Canada in his late forties, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol that eventually required a heart procedure. He had not received the guidance or support that might have helped him act sooner. I watched this as a child, and it stayed with me.

Years later, someone close to me faced similar risk factors. She had time to make changes but did not know where to begin. The available support felt generic, culturally disconnected, or unaffordable.

That gap inspired MyMealAid.

As a South Asian food and nutrition student, I believe nutrition support should be practical, culturally relevant, and easier to use in everyday life, especially between healthcare appointments.
