About Chef Reid

Raised by the ocean and refined through years in kitchen, Reid’s approach to cooking is rooted in simplicity, quality, and connection. As a private chef and wellness creator, he merges his love for clean, ancestral eating with a passion for healing through food.

From San Diego kitchens to beachside gatherings, Reid curates meals that nourish body and spirit — combining his background in hospitality, nutrition, and culinary art to create experiences that feel both elevated and grounded.

Food isn’t just fuel. It’s ritual. It’s conversation. It’s community.

Philosophy

At Zen by Brit, we believe what you eat is energy — every ingredient carries frequency, and every meal is an opportunity to align your body with balance and vitality.
Reid’s chef services are an extension of that philosophy: meals built around whole, local, and ethically sourced ingredients that support longevity, hormone health, and emotional well-being.

“Eat like your ancestors, live like your highest self.”
