Making Love in the Kitchen

Nov 1st, 2008 by Meghan Telpner

A couple of weeks ago I sent out an email asking people to please rate and a comment on a video I had submitted for a TV contest Expert Search. (I applied in the food and nutrition category). I expected the support of my family and a couple of close friends. I did not expect 86 friends, colleagues, former employers, clients, teachers, acquaintances, former boyfriends, facebook ‘friends’, and complete strangers to be so unbelievably generous with their words and their time.

I was absolutely overwhelmed. I go through my day, well my life really, doing my best at being me without giving a whole lot of thought to how I affect others. Obviously I am in the field that I am in because I want to help people feel their best, but I suppose I attribute most of what I do to the information and education I provide. In the past week I have been referred to by various people as sunshine, sparkly, joy and trouble. A perfect mix if you ask me. So whether I make the cut for this TV show or not really is secondary at this point. It meant so much to me to know what I mean to all those whose lives I have entered in one way or another.

If I can recommend anything to you, on this sunny November afternoon, it is to let those that matter to you know they matter to you. We all like to feel uplifted, appreciated, important and loved and this is a gift that is yours to give. All too often we spread the bad word rather than the good. So go ahead, spread some love and have no reservations about telling yourself what you need to hear too.

Thank you for your love and support!

Here are some of the comments that were left for me:

I had the good fortune of meeting Meghan while in St. Lucia for a week of nutrition, exercise, and daily massages. She was there as a live in food guru for all of the guests at “The Body Holiday” at Le Sport. Her enthusiastic personality and expertise in food and nutrition makes her a very special and talented expert on diet and healthy foods. You can’t help but love this girl!
Meghan really knows her stuff when it comes to diet and nutrition. It’s obvious she takes a lot of time to care. It also takes some guts to stand in the middle of a city and give out apples to complete strangers. I look forward to seeing her tactics and antics for spreading health to her local community in the future.
I appreciate her positivity and her passion for healthy living. I think she has a great message and knowledge to share and the more people who get to hear what she has to say, the better!
Love Megan’s enthusiasm, she really seems to enjoy what she does. It’s really inspirational.

I met Meghan when she came to Saint Lucia where I work. I have suffered for many years from IBS. Megan gave me some simple but sound advice on how to cope she also advised on dietary changes. having followed her advice I can honestly say she is amazing. I have visited many Nutritionsist/ Naturapaths in my quest for perfect health. Meghan’s advice and the informative way it was delivered have been truly inspirational. She also lectured to my students as I teach in the Caribbean , she inspired many of the students to make changes to improve their health also. To put it simply she’s the best!!
Meghan has made a real and lasting contribution to my healthy therefore happy lifestyle. She is knowledgeable, but very down to earth and approachable. Your network would be very lucky and benefit greatly from her expertise and compassionate nature.
Meghan is my nutritionist and she ROCKS! I feel better and am thinner as a result of her gentle, knowledgeable advice.
The only thing more extraordinary than her work, is Meghan’s passion and inspiring story. I can’t recommend her enough!
I have known Ms Meghan Telpner who conducted a seminar on Food & Nutrition at The Bodyholiday Resort in St Lucia, where I work as an executive chef. She is a very young, talented and professional nutritionist who organized seminars to all out guests and staff. Her classes were very interesting and the guests have acknowledge and enjoyed her lessons. She also took her own personal time to talk to me about good and healthy food and nutrition. That gives me the confidence to be alert and advice the guest in the hotel about their daily food intake.
