About Us
Doctor-designed nutrition, shaped by conversations with our patients.
Built from real care
The Enlighten Me shake was co-designed between Dr Angela and her patients in the Enlighten Me program, a GP-led, multidisciplinary digital weight management program that supported countless patients across Australia to optimise their weight and metabolic health.
During the program, there were close conversations with patients during their weight loss journey, including those taking GLP-1 medications and juggling reduced appetite and gastrointestinal side effects such as bloating, reflux and constipation. A reduced appetite can make it harder to get enough protein and nutrients, which can increase the risk of malnutrition and muscle loss (sarcopenia). Our patients told us they were struggling to find a shake that suited them, as several of those available were too low in protein, too high in carbohydrates, or sweetened with artificial sweeteners that upset the gut. So together, we co-designed the Enlighten Me shake to help fill those nutritional gaps.
Our patients helped shape a range of aspects of the product, including the packaging size, flavour and sweetness, given their experiences with the existing products on the market.
The Enlighten Me shakes
Our shakes are high in protein, with over 32g per serve, and they are certified FODMAP Friendly. We've added prebiotics, probiotics and daily greens including broccoli, spinach and kale, with no artificial sweeteners. They are designed to be gentle on digestion and easy to fit into a busy day, whether you're managing a smaller appetite while taking weight loss medications, preparing for bariatric surgery, or simply want a better way to get in your daily protein.

Growing with our patients
Following the success of the Enlighten Me shake, we kept listening to our patients, who asked for further additions to the range. That led to single serve sachets to take on the go, and the Enlighten Me Protein Ball, a high protein, high fibre snack you can enjoy anywhere, anytime.

Sharing our experience
There has been strong demand for Dr Angela to share her experience helping patients with weight management and metabolic health, with GPs, allied health professionals and pharmacists, through podcasts, webinars and public events.

With this demand and the growth of Enlighten Me products, the program wrapped up in August 2026 so our team could focus on what we believe will help the most people: education, advocacy and nutrition. Read the full story.
What we believe
So much of the weight management conversation seems to centre around loss, and nourishment itself can get lost along the way. We believe care should be kind, evidence-based and free of shame, and that good nutrition should be easy. That's why we put as much care into showing you how to use our products as into making them: easy recipes, everyday protein tips and ways to fit them into your routine. Our motto has always been: nourish your body during your weight loss journey.
Our community
Our Enlighten Me Products Community is a place to share inspiration, ideas and the different ways our customers are using our shakes.
Our team
Enlighten Me is led by Australian GP Dr Angela Kwong, who serves as the RACGP NSW State Lead for the Specific Interests Group in Obesity Management and is the formulator behind each product. Bow Shearman, our nutritionist, creates the recipes on our blog, Charisma looks after our products and Eunice looks after our social media.
We are so grateful to our clinical team contributors, including Dr India Latimore, Dr Ghazaleh Ranjbar, Chantelle Wardini and Beau Baker, who contributed to the development of the Enlighten Me program, shared their expertise with Enlighten Me members and have since returned to their usual practices.
