Special Dietary Programs
Private chef services built around your protocol. Whether you're following a doctor's orders, managing a health condition, or optimizing performance, we design every meal to support your goals.
Following a specialized diet is hard. Following it well—with food that actually tastes good—is even harder. You know what you're supposed to eat, but translating that into satisfying daily meals takes time, skill, and sourcing you may not have access to.
Daily Dose private chefs specialize in therapeutic and performance nutrition. We work with clients following doctor-prescribed protocols, managing autoimmune conditions, navigating food sensitivities, and optimizing health through targeted nutrition. Our founder, Tricia Williams, is a certified nutritionist who partners with leading physicians including Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Uma Naidoo, and Dr. James DiNicolantonio. That expertise informs everything we prepare.
Tell us your protocol, share your restrictions, and let us handle the execution. We'll source compliant ingredients, design menus that fit your framework, and prepare meals that make your diet feel like a pleasure—not a punishment.
How We Approach Dietary Programs
Protocol-First Design
We start with your dietary requirements—not a standard menu we modify. Whether you're following AIP, low-FODMAP, a carnivore protocol, or a physician-prescribed therapeutic diet, we build from your framework outward. Compliance isn't an afterthought; it's the foundation.
Physician Collaboration
Working with a doctor, nutritionist, or functional medicine practitioner? We're happy to coordinate. Share your protocol documentation, have your provider contact us directly, or schedule a three-way call. We want to ensure every meal supports your care plan.
Ingredient Integrity
Specialized diets demand clean ingredients. Our 100% organic sourcing—pasture-raised proteins, wild-caught seafood, certified organic produce—ensures you're not undermining your protocol with hidden additives, pesticides, or inflammatory oils.
Culinary Excellence
Dietary restrictions don't mean boring food. Our chefs bring technique, creativity, and flavor to every protocol. We make AIP taste exciting, keto feel indulgent, and elimination diets something you actually look forward to eating.
Service Options
Full-Day Coverage Your chef is on-site throughout the day, preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything in between. Ideal for families with varying schedules, groups with different meal times, or anyone who wants complete coverage without thinking about food at all.
Dinner-Only Service Prefer to handle your own breakfast and lunch? We'll arrive in the afternoon to prepare dinner—multi-course meals served on your timeline. Perfect for guests who want flexibility during the day but a proper dinner every evening.
Breakfast & Dinner Start and end your days with chef-prepared meals. Grab lunch on your own—at the beach, in town, wherever your day takes you. A popular option for active vacationers.
Flexible / À La Carte Mix and match based on your plans. Chef-prepared dinner Monday, beach day Tuesday, big group brunch Wednesday. We build around your itinerary—not the other way around.
Special Event Integration Hosting a birthday dinner, anniversary celebration, or group gathering during your stay? We seamlessly integrate event-level dining into your vacation service. Same chef, elevated execution for the occasion.
Why Specialized Dietary Support Matters
Compliance Without Burnout Following a restrictive protocol is mentally exhausting. Constant vigilance, label reading, meal planning, and cooking drain willpower you need elsewhere. We take that burden off your plate—literally—so you can stay compliant without burning out.
Better Outcomes Dietary protocols work when followed correctly. Partial compliance yields partial results. We ensure every meal supports your goals—no hidden ingredients, no accidental exposure, no compromised meals when you're tired or busy.
Food You Actually Enjoy The biggest reason people abandon therapeutic diets? The food isn't satisfying. Our chefs make protocol-compliant eating genuinely enjoyable. When your meals are delicious, compliance isn't a struggle—it's a pleasure.

Dietary Programs We Support
We support virtually every therapeutic, elimination, and performance dietary protocol. For autoimmune conditions, we prepare AIP-compliant meals free from grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades, and refined sugars—supporting clients managing Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis. For metabolic health and cognitive performance, we design ketogenic and low-carb programs that go far beyond bacon and eggs—diverse proteins, creative vegetables, and satisfying fats. We prepare paleo meals that honor ancestral eating principles while delivering culinary sophistication, and navigate the complexity of low-FODMAP compliance for clients managing IBS, SIBO, and other digestive disorders.
Our anti-inflammatory programs emphasize omega-3 fatty acids, colorful vegetables, and anti-inflammatory spices—aligned with Dr. David Perlmutter's brain health protocols. We make Whole30 feel sustainable and satisfying, guiding clients through 30-day resets without deprivation. For clients following physician-prescribed protocols, we work directly with care teams to ensure strict compliance—whether that's diabetic nutrition, cardiac diets, renal-friendly meals, cancer support nutrition, pre/post-surgical protocols, or neurological condition support.
We also guide clients through elimination diets and structured reintroduction phases, preparing phase-appropriate meals that help identify food sensitivities while maintaining variety and satisfaction. For serious food allergies—tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, dairy, gluten, soy, sesame, corn, or multiple simultaneous allergies—we design comprehensive programs that remove the burden of constant vigilance and label reading.

Event Questions
How do I know if you can support my specific diet?
If it involves food, we can likely support it. We have experience with virtually every therapeutic, elimination, and performance diet. During consultation, we'll review your protocol in detail and confirm our ability to execute it properly.
Do you work with my doctor or nutritionist?
Yes, gladly. With your authorization, we'll coordinate directly with your healthcare provider—reviewing documentation, discussing requirements, and ensuring our meals align with your care plan.
How do you ensure compliance with strict protocols?
We treat your protocol as non-negotiable. Your chef understands your requirements in detail before the first cook day. We source compliant ingredients exclusively, prepare in clean conditions, and double-check every dish against your framework.
What if my protocol changes mid-program?
Protocols evolve—reintroduction phases, adjusted macros, new restrictions. We adapt with you. Just share the updates and your next menu will reflect them.
Can you help me during the elimination phase of a diet?
Absolutely. Elimination phases require strict compliance and careful attention. We'll prepare meals that eliminate target foods completely while keeping you well-nourished and satisfied.
What about reintroduction phases?
We can guide you through structured reintroduction, preparing meals that isolate specific foods for testing while keeping everything else compliant. This makes it easier to identify reactions accurately.
Is your kitchen safe for severe allergies?
Our chefs prepare meals in your home kitchen, not a commercial facility. This gives you control over cross-contamination risks. For severe allergies, we discuss your specific concerns and implement appropriate protocols—dedicated equipment, careful sourcing, and rigorous attention to detail.
Do you provide nutritional information for meals?
Yes, upon request. We can provide macro breakdowns, calorie counts, and ingredient lists for clients who track their intake or need documentation for their healthcare providers.
What if I'm following multiple protocols simultaneously?
Common scenario—keto plus dairy-free, AIP plus low-FODMAP. We design menus that satisfy all your requirements simultaneously. The more complex the overlap, the more important it is to have a skilled chef handling it.
How do I get started?
Request a consultation. Tell us about your protocol, your health goals, and what kind of support you need. We'll discuss how our services can fit your situation and match you with a chef experienced in your dietary framework.
