Food isn't just flavor...it's science 🥼🌱!

Welcome to Notes From the Lab: a weekday short-form video series where Chef Aja, your FAVORITE Plant Based Scientist, breaks down one plant based science fact at a time. No trends, no performance pressure. Just real food science, straight from the lab.


What Is Notes From the Lab?

Every weekday, Chef Aja steps into the same kitchen corner...lab coat on, glasses on, ready to teach. One episode. One fact. 20 to 45 seconds. That's it!

This isn't content for the algorithm. This is content for YOU, the AG Family, and for anyone who wants to understand why plant based eating works, not just that it does.


September Is Gut Health Month 🔬

We're launching Notes From the Lab on September 1st with a full month of gut health science. Because what's happening in your gut is literally changing your mood, your energy, and your relationship with food...and most of us have no idea!

Here's what we're covering this month:

  • Why fiber is the foundation of gut health (and why most Americans are only getting half of what they need)

  • The gut-brain connection: 95% of your serotonin is made in your gut, not your brain

  • Resistant starch, probiotics, prebiotics and fermented foods

  • The 30-plants-a-week principle and how plant based eating makes it easy

  • What actually damages your microbiome (and what protects it)


Meet THE Plant Based Scientist

Chef Aja is the founder of Avant-Garde'n ATL: a soy & dairy free plant based/vegan food business based in Austell, GA. Everything is handcrafted in small batches, in addition to being non-GMO.

Her approach has always been rooted in the science of food. Not trends. Not restriction. Real, delicious, intentional food that works for your body. Notes From the Lab is where that science becomes accessible to everyone.

I'm Chef Aja, THE Plant Based Scientist! Stay curious, and remember: food isn't just flavor...it's science 🥼🌱!
