Her titles include The Wholesome Yum Keto Cookbook and The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Carboholics Cookbook: 100 Low Carb Comfort Food Recipes With 10 Ingredients Or Less. She is also the founder of the highly acclaimed Wholesome Yum, which has millions of visitors each year.

Maya grew up eating her mom’s and grandmother’s home-cooked, real food meals prepared with simple ingredients. But Maya was not always into cooking; by her college years, she was eating pizza, stir fry mixes, and just fast food in general. By her mid-twenties, Maya was on a quest to focus more on her health and taught herself to cook. Being both a scientist by education and a creative at heart, she fell in love with how much cooking allows her to combine both. The rest is history as she has made her mark on the healthy cooking industry. Millions of readers view Wholesome Yum each month; her record-breaking views in one month was 10 million. Her goal was to make Wholesome Yum a trusted resource for healthy recipes that anyone can prepare that taste delicious. Today, Maya and her husband, and their two little girls reside in Minnesota. Her work and family keep her busy, but she is also an avid traveler. Her recipes are inspired by her upbringing, friends, family, and travels.
“I always fed my family meals that were high carb and salty. When I noticed our weight gain and we were feeling sluggish, I knew it was time for a change. Wholesome Yum changed the way I look at food; I read the labels and try to only cook with fresh foods. The recipes are also easy to follow. A year later, my husband and I have lost weight, we have amazing energy, and cooking with healthy ingredients is fun! The kids love the recipes, as do my family and friends.” Caroline S, Burlington, VT.
A few tips to start your new healthy cooking journey:
Limit sugar, especially refined sugar. This goes by many names on labels, such as sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, and others. Avoid artificial sweeteners, but try a natural sugar substitute instead.
Read labels, and avoid artificial ingredients and preservatives if you can. A good rule of thumb is to avoid it if you can’t pronounce it.
Add healthier proteins like fish, and chicken, and do not forget that beans and nuts are great sources of protein.
Toss the bad cooking oils and choose a healthy olive oil – add colors to your meals from fruits and vegetables. Different colored produce typically contains different nutrients.
Small changes to start will make a huge difference!
“Healthy eating means different things to different people, but our biggest philosophy is natural, whole food ingredients, without refined sugar. Wholesome Yum is a one-stop resource for that,” stated Maya.
