About Us

Our Founder, Dr. Angela Kwong, is a General Practitioner based in Sydney. While working with patients on their weight loss journeys, Dr. Angela noted a common challenge - many patients taking weight loss medications struggled with reduced appetite, while also juggling side effects of the medication such as bloating, nausea, reflux and an irregular bowel habit. These issues raised concerns about the ability of her patients to meet nutritional targets and maintain muscle mass, a condition known as sarcopenia. 

In search of a solution, Dr. Angela and her patients experimented with various protein sources, including meat, plant-based and supplemental. However, due to the volume limitations due to delayed gastric emptying, a side effect of the medications, this made it difficult to maintain the necessary nutrition. They looked at meal replacement shakes, hoping for an easier to absorb alternative, yet, the majority of the shakes available on the shelves had only a low to medium serving of protein accompanied by a medium to high serving of carbohydrates, along with artificial sweeteners, which only exacerbated her patient's gastrointestinal symptoms. 

Determined to find a better solution, Dr. Angela embarked on a mission to formulate a meal replacement shake that addressed these specific needs. Through extensive research, and feedback from both experts and her patients, the Enlighten Me Shakes were born. These shakes are a thoughtfully designed blend, high in protein, with the added benefits of prebiotics, probiotics and daily greens like broccoli, spinach and kale. Importantly, only natural sweeteners are used to ensure a gentle experience on the digestive system. 

"Nourish Your Body During Your Weight Loss Journey" - this motto encapsulated our vision. At Enlighten Me, we believe that meal replacement shakes should not just replace meals, but enhance your nutrition, especially when your intake is low. We see them as a way to improve your overall health, helping you to maintain a balanced intake and support your body through your weight loss journey.
