If this is you, you probably haven't discovered the incredible services who are taking the stress out of getting healthy produce into your home. New York City is now full of wholesome food delivery services that allow you to cook your own or have prepped meals show up right at your doorstep.

Food Matters is centered around three main pillars that inform their menu. The first being that food is a functional medicine. This means you won't find any gluten, dairy, or refined sugars that might disrupt the body's natural equilibrium in their meals. The second being that we must eat for energy. They aim to optimize the glycemic index and keep blood sugars steady while giving you the energy you need throughout the day. Lastly, Food Matters places importance on the fact that your body has a delicate balance. Each and every meal delivered to your doorstep will be created to maintain an alkaline state in your system.
