Why I Started Markeezy Prep Co.

Hi, I’m Markay Martin (aka Markeezy) —founder of Markeezy Prep Co., a wellness lifestyle brand rooted in nourishment, empowerment, and community. My love for cooking started in childhood, but everything changed when I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle. Reimagining the flavors I grew up with became both a challenge and a passion. While I personally follow a vegan lifestyle, I create nourishing, whole food meals for all dietary preferences—because wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The spark for this business came from my dear friend Sara Jama, who believed in me before I believed in myself. She became my first meal prep client, and I’ve been cooking with purpose ever since.

Markeezy Prep Co. was born from my own transformation. Since January 2024, I’ve lost 135 lbs—not by starving or restricting, but by embracing whole, high-volume foods and surrounding myself with a village of support, including my gym family at SpoonFed Training. I know firsthand how hard it can be to start, to stay consistent, and to believe change is possible. That’s why I’m here—to help others feel seen, supported, and nourished.

I’m currently pursuing my NASM Wellness Coaching certification to deepen the ways I can serve my clients. Whether you're a busy professional, an athlete, or someone on a weight loss journey who just needs a little extra guidance, I’ve got you.

Outside the kitchen, I’m a full-time Executive Assistant and caregiver to my incredible mom, a brain aneurysm survivor and my biggest inspiration. Her strength fuels my mission every day.

Markeezy Prep Co. is just getting started. I envision a future where we grow a team, collaborate with local gyms, and expand our reach—one meal, one client, one transformation at a time.
