Real Food, Real Science, Real Change

I’m Cynthia Hayes, DipACLM, founder of Zutado Soul. I combine decades of enterprise leadership with lifestyle medicine expertise and advanced training through Stanford University to deliver medically tailored meals and food-swap solutions that support real-world behavior change.

Science-Backed Meals, Real-Life Impact

I created Zutado Soul as a medically aligned food company advancing lifestyle medicine through real food solutions. My goal is to bridge clinical research and lived experience—translating peer-reviewed science into meals, food-swap tools, and education that empower you beyond the clinic. I aim to address a critical gap I repeatedly observed: patients receive guidance in clinical settings but struggle to sustain healthy eating once they return home. My work ensures that your daily food choices are informed, intentional, and health-promoting.

My Approach

My work sits at the intersection of clinical nutrition, systems thinking, and community health. Before founding Zutado Soul, I spent over two decades leading large-scale initiatives across healthcare, financial services, utilities, energy, and technology. This shaped how I approach food—not as a product alone, but as part of a system that influences outcomes.

Science, Culture, and Flavor United

Here’s what I focus on when designing food solutions:

Nutrient-Dense

Supporting heart health, gut integrity, and metabolic balance.

Culturally Relevant

Delicious and meaningful across diverse diets.

Sustainable & Practical

Helping you stick with lifestyle medicine principles long-term.

Evidence Meets Everyday Life

I translate advanced scientific insights into practical, real-world tools that make healthy eating achievable:

  • Medically tailored meals for you and your family.
  • Food-swap solutions that simplify daily choices.
  • Education and guidance to reinforce behavior change beyond the clinic.

Intentional Meals, Lasting Impact

With Zutado Soul, you can continue the work started in the clinic-making food choices that are informed, intentional, and transformative.
