Dr. Christopher Lee, MD

After 10 years of caring for patients in the operating room, I kept seeing the same pattern: families wanted to eat safer, but no one could tell them what was actually trustworthy. So I built PlateAware AI.

See How It Works

A short, professional bio

Dr. Christopher Lee is a board-certified anesthesiologist trained at New York University and The University of Southern California. After having a child and trying to provide them with the most nutritious food, he realized how hard it was to find high quality food without pesticides or toxins hiding in plain sight. You shouldn't need to have a medical degree to determine which foods are clean and healthy. Hence PlateAware AI was founded to help everyday families know exactly which foods are safe and pesticide and toxin free, without the hours of research that is constantly changing. In daily clinical practice, evidence and clarity save lives — the same standard now drives every PlateAware AI report.

He founded PlateAware AI to bridge a real gap: families need science-backed, locally relevant food-safety information delivered the way a trusted physician would explain it — calmly, practically, and without fearmongering.

Every monthly digest is reviewed personally by Dr. Lee before publication. AI handles the heavy data lifting (recall feeds, USDA pesticide residue tables, weekly pricing scans based on your ZIP); the medical judgment stays with a human MD.
