Healthy Chef Steph

Stephanie McPherson, also known as “SteFunny,” is an entrepreneur dedicated to promoting well-being. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and is certified in Health Coaching and High-Performance Empowerment Coaching. McPherson’s career journey began in medical device and B2B sales, where she worked as an executive selling surgical equipment. In 2016, she launched her cooking show, DeFaRekinLicious™, using basic equipment. This show evolved into a platform for sharing cooking techniques and personal insights. Her engagement with storytelling further developed with the launch of her podcast, “Empowered Conversations,” where she interviewed individuals making a positive impact. In 2021, she published her cookbook, “DeFaRekinLicious: Healthy IS Delicious,” which captured her culinary philosophy.

McPherson’s passion for cooking started in her grandmother’s kitchen, where she learned traditional recipes. This early exposure influenced her approach to food. Healthy Chef Steph, her weekly meal prep service in Charlotte, NC, reflects her belief that healthy eating is an act of self-care. She emphasizes the connection between physical and emotional nourishment in her meal preparations. McPherson’s personal health journey began in her early 20s when she revised her dietary habits. She studied nutrition and fitness, developed healthy recipes, and committed to personal development, which formed the foundation for her current coaching and culinary work.

Her mission is to empower individuals to prioritize their well-being by integrating mind, body, and soul. Through her coaching and meal prep services, she encourages intentional living and self-worth. Her motto, “Live Life On Purpose,” highlights her philosophy of approaching each day with clarity and aligning actions with personal values. McPherson has a goal to host a nationally or internationally televised cooking show, aiming to combine healthy food preparation with humor.
