ギール里映 食べかた研究家 Rie Geale,Dietary Lifestyle Specialist,CEO of Tenpu Inc.
Born in Kyoto, currently living in Tokyo.Married to a British husband and son.Born as the third generation in a Kyoto-based family of kyo-ryori (Kyoto cuisine) chefs.At the age of 42, Rie transitioned from being a full-time housewife to an entrepreneur. In an effort to improve her infertility, which doctors had given up on, she explored various methods including Traditional Chinese Medicine, medicinal cooking, yoga, Ayurveda, macrobiotics, molecular nutrition, and cellular environmental studies. Despite trying to improve her diet, her lack of cooking skills made it difficult to achieve success. As a result, she developed a method for effective eating called “Tabetore Meal Method”, which can produce results even for those who are not good at cooking. She established a general incorporated association to promote the method.Rie realized that traditional food education and meal restrictions often involved too many prohibitions, expensive natural ingredients, and complex cooking procedures, which were not well-suited to Japan’s current society, where dual-income households are the norm. Therefore, she researched simple and delicious cooking methods. Her method spread nationwide as the “Eating Style that Unleashes Children’s Talents,” and her newsletter has over 40,000 subscribers.The association has trained 300 instructors nationwide and held courses and seminars for more than 20,000 participants.Success stories include children diagnosed with developmental disabilities who passed their first-choice middle school exams, a junior athlete selected for an Olympic skiing event, children who could not sit still gaining focus, and IQ scores increasing by 30 points. Additionally, children with extreme picky eating habits who could only eat one type of food improved, long-standing issues like atopic dermatitis were alleviated, and symptoms of hay fever disappeared. Parents also experienced improvements, such as overcoming obesity and metabolic syndrome, resulting in overall positive changes for entire families.In 2023, she launched a project FEA (Female Entrepreneur Association) to support working women by promoting female entrepreneurs, advocating for their social participation and media exposure. The project aims to help working women, including single and working mothers, become more active in society. In 10 months since launch it holds more than 1800 members.Rie wants to show her son the vibrant and shining image of a mother who lives life to the fullest, and she hopes to inspire more women to do the same. She continues to actively share her message through newsletters and social media.Her books include:”5 Minutes a Day! In Just 2 Weeks, Children Will Change! The Ultimate Diet to Unleash Your Child’s Abilities” (Japan Management Association Management Center)”2-Step Recipes to Unlock Your Child’s Talents” (Sanctuary Publishing)
