My story
I’m Taylor Robinson, a Licensed Practical Nurse and the creator behind Dishing with Tay. My passion for whole-food living didn’t come from a textbook. It came from years of navigating my own health journey.
For many years I struggled with severe cystic acne, digestive discomfort, chronic inflammation, and a level of daily discomfort I assumed was simply “normal.” For six to seven years, my body was trying to tell me something, and at the time I didn’t yet have the awareness to understand how much everyday lifestyle habits could influence how we feel.
Through that experience, I began learning more about the connection between daily habits and overall wellbeing. I discovered that feeling better often comes from supporting the body with simple foundations like nourishing foods, consistent meals, sleep, hydration, and balanced routines. I also rediscovered the beauty of getting back to basics, shopping the outer aisles of the grocery store, choosing real foods that are minimally processed, and focusing on nourishment rather than perfection.
As I began to feel more balanced in my own body, I started sharing the recipes that helped me feel nourished rather than restricted. I’ve always believed that healthy eating should feel satisfying and enjoyable, not bland or limiting. That belief is what inspired the idea behind Dishing with Tay, creating simple, flavourful meals made with real ingredients.
Today, I bring together my clinical nursing background with a passion for whole-food cooking and lifestyle education. Through my recipes and content, I focus on high-protein, whole-food meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and designed to be easy on digestion and supportive of everyday wellness.
My goal is to help simplify nourishment by sharing approachable recipes and practical lifestyle habits so people can feel more confident in the kitchen, more steady in their energy, and more supported in their day-to-day wellbeing.
Gut + Nutrition Assessments
My Gut Nutrition Assessments are designed to help you understand your body on a deeper level, your digestion, your symptoms, your patterns, and how your daily choices are shaping your overall health. I always begin with the foundations because real, lasting change never comes from a single meal plan, a trendy protocol, or one specific supplement. It comes from how you care for yourself consistently, day in and day out.
During your assessment, we explore the nutrition and lifestyle habits that directly influence your gut health, metabolism, skin, sleep and energy levels. I help you understand why you might be experiencing bloating, irregular digestion, breakouts, fatigue, chronic inflammation, or weight-related challenges. Whether your goal is gentle fat loss, clearer skin, improved digestion, or simply feeling more balanced in your body, we look at the root causes together.
My approach is to educate and empower you. I want you to walk away with clarity, knowing how to support your digestion, nourish your hormones, stabilize your energy, and make confident choices every day. This isn’t about restriction or rigid rules. It’s about learning how to truly fuel your body in a way that feels sustainable, supportive, and aligned with your goals.
One of my favourite parts of this process is creating customized meal plans for my clients. I love getting people excited about cooking whole, nourishing foods, showing that healthy eating can be packed with flavour, comfort, and joy. Nothing bland, boring, or restrictive. Just simple, nutrient-dense meals that love your gut and your hormones, and help you feel your best physically and emotionally.
A Gut Nutrition Assessment with me is about understanding your body, rebuilding trust with yourself, and creating a lifestyle that supports long-term, sustainable health. Whether you’re navigating chronic digestive issues, skin concerns, weight loss goals, or hormonal challenges, I’m here to guide you, support you, and help you feel nourished from the inside out.
