At The Pickled Beet, we enjoy working with clients referred to us by Next Generation Nutrition in Miami, which specializes in gut health, hormone balance, functional testing, and science-based nutrition planning.

We always appreciate their feedback – letting us know the results they see after we start providing fully customized meals for clients.

The owner of Next Generation Nutrition, Jessica, recently reported back on clients she referred to us who needed diets tailored for liver and osteoporosis support, pre-diabetes, and high inflammation.

After two months, she had this to say about the improvements she saw:

💬The clients are doing absolutely fantastic and only have great things to say about your food.

We've seen improvements in energy, weight, and gut health, which definitely has to do with the ingredients and the properly prepared meals.

You're always the first choice for us for prepared meals for our clients.💬

Real food really is medicine, and results like these are exactly why we do what we do. At The Pickled Beet, every meal we prepare is customized to each client's unique health needs, using carefully sourced, whole food, organic ingredients.

Whether you're managing a chronic condition, working with a nutritionist or dietitian, or simply want meals that support your health goals, we're here to make it effortless and delicious.

Your brain is worth feeding well.

It's Brain Health Awareness Week, and one of the most powerful tools available to keep our brains healthy can be one of the most overlooked: what we eat.

The MIND diet (short for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) was ranked #1 for brain health by U.S. News & World Report. And for good reason. It's a research-backed framework built around foods with proven neuroprotective properties, such as wild-caught salmon, dark leafy greens, blueberries, extra-virgin olive oil, and walnuts. Research suggests it can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by up to 53% with high adherence, and up to 35% with moderate adherence.

Many MIND diet principles overlap naturally with anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic, and heart-healthy eating – making it highly compatible with a range of special dietary needs.

At The Pickled Beet, our chefs design and prepare personalized meals from scratch, and we deliver them fresh – directly from our Miami commercial kitchen to your refrigerator in South Florida. Every menu, every meal we cook, is built around your specific health needs, dietary restrictions, and the foods that will genuinely nourish you.

Whether you're managing a specific condition or simply investing in how you feel, think, and function for the long term, we'd love to show you what's possible.

Congratulations to our very own Client Services Specialist, Nicole Gates (pictured here holding flowers), who was recognized last night as a 2026 Honoree at the “Chucks & Cocktails: When Women Lead” event in Miami.

She also serves as our Community Liaison and coordinates The Pickled Beet’s participation in community events.

This International Women’s Day, as we celebrate ALL women and their achievements, we want to spotlight the four incredible women on The Pickled Beet team!

ELIZABETH WILLARD, FOUNDER & CEO
The Pickled Beet wouldn’t exist without Chef Liz, who left a corporate job 20 years ago to follow her culinary dreams. Through the years, she has gained loyal clients, accolades, and awards. She has also built a team of experienced, talented professional chefs who scratch-cook every meal in our dedicated gluten-free commercial kitchen in Miami. Liz is passionate about food as medicine and is dedicated to ensuring that each client has a delicious experience, no matter their food allergies or special dietary needs.

JEN MCCOOL, KITCHEN MANAGER
Jen is an integral part of our quality control processes and brings her vast experience in the culinary industry to our kitchen operations. She oversees all the packaging of our freshly cooked food and delivery operations, ensuring that each client receives the right meals without fail. That’s no easy task in a busy kitchen where we craft fresh, customized meals and menus for each client (often different meals for each person in the household, due to differing food preferences, food allergies, and/or medical diagnoses). On top of all that, her positive vibe and upbeat personality keep the kitchen staff humming and happy, even on the longest cook days!!

ANDREA SPRAGUE, CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST
Andrea is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner AND a Professional Chef – the perfect combo for her role as our Nutrition Consultant. She helps clients who are newly diagnosed with food allergies, autoimmune disorders, and other health conditions that require them to change their diets radically. She also uses nutrition to help clients recover faster after surgery and lessen symptoms from autoimmune diseases and cancer treatment. Andrea’s mission is to help people live their best lives, focusing on the role nutrition plays in their overall well-being.

NICOLE GATES, CLIENT SERVICES SPECIALIST
Nicole serves as the primary point of contact for all our clients. She tracks the unique food needs and travel schedules of our ongoing personal chef clients, books private chef experiences, and manages private flight catering orders. She also serves as our Community Liaison and coordinates participation in community events. Nicole’s broad background – which ranges from media to management of a European wine distributor region – is an asset to both our team and our clients!

These dedicated women are passionate about their work and The Pickled Beet’s mission, and we are so grateful for them.

Happy International Women’s Day!

03/03/2026

We are incredibly proud to share that Nicole Gates, Client Services Specialist at The Pickled Beet, has been invited by State Senator Shevrin Jones and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to be recognized as a 2026 Honoree of Chucks & Cocktails: When Women Lead.

This distinguished evening celebrates women whose leadership, courage, and impact continue to shape our communities and inspire progress. Being selected as an honoree reflects Nicole’s unwavering commitment to excellence — both professionally and within the community she serves.

At The Pickled Beet, Nicole serves as the primary point of contact for our clients, seamlessly managing every detail behind the scenes. From tracking clients' food preferences and travel schedules, booking private chef experiences and catering orders for private inflight dining, we’re so lucky to have her on our team.

Chucks & Cocktails: When Women Lead will take place on Sunday, March 15th at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami, Florida. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition.

✓ We grind our own ground beef.
✓ We make all of our sauces and dressings in-house, to ensure that our clients don't get preservatives, additives, extra sugars, or sodium in their food.
