Health & Nutrition
Michelin-trained private chefs for ultra-high-net-worth families. Shortlist in 10 days. Up to 6-month guarantee.
Montclair Chef places full-time health and nutrition private chefs for ultra-high-net-worth families managing autoimmune conditions, complex allergies, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, gut health, and longevity protocols. Founded by a Michelin-trained chef with 19 years serving UHNW families as a private chef, every placement carries an up to 6-month replacement guarantee. If your focus is anti-aging and cellular health specifically, see our longevity private chefs page, or meet our founder.
For families managing autoimmune conditions, severe allergies, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or age-related needs, the right chef is not a luxury. It is clinical support at the dinner table.
Our health and nutrition chefs work alongside your medical team, nutritionists, and functional medicine practitioners to translate lab results and protocols into food you actually want to eat, every day, without compromise on taste or presentation.
Every chef we place is trained in therapeutic cooking and understands the precision medically informed nutrition demands, from strict cross-contamination control to macronutrient and micronutrient targeting.
Our chefs do not just cook. They collaborate. They work directly with your functional medicine doctor, nutritionist, midwife, or health coach so every meal aligns with your therapeutic protocols.
That includes anti-inflammatory meal programs, blood sugar management, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, gut-healing protocols, and medically supervised elimination diets, with menus adapted to lab results, symptom feedback, and evolving goals.
From therapeutic ketogenic protocols for neurological health to elimination diets for autoimmune conditions, our chefs are fluent in evidence-based dietary approaches. For plant-forward households, many also specialise in plant-based cuisine.
Longevity
The fastest-growing request from our clients is a chef who cooks for healthspan, not just for dinner.
Our longevity-focused chefs build menus around the principles that define the field: anti-inflammatory cooking, blood-sugar stability, gut-microbiome support, nutrient density over caloric excess, and the dietary patterns of the world's longest-lived populations. They work hand in hand with your longevity physician and nutritionist to turn your protocol into a daily reality.
If you are looking for a longevity protocol private chef specifically, we have built a dedicated page for it.
