About
I have 25+ years of experience, guiding and teaching you the most optimal and effective nutritional ways to become, and stay, healthy. We are not meant to be perfectionists, we are human. We are not meant to ingest the perfectly balanced healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner all the time.
I can help you 'pick your battles' — cut out sugar and get back to feeling better every day. By changing your diet, you can change your entire physiology.
Approach: Practical and balanced; advocates an '80/20' healthy lifestyle philosophy rather than perfectionism; tailored and evidence-informed with strong clinical background.
Weight Loss Approach
Therapeutic nutrition with a practical, balanced philosophy. Emphasises an '80/20 principle' of healthy lifestyle rather than perfectionism. Focuses on tailored dietary assessment and advice based on individual medical and lifestyle history.
Weight management is a core specialisation drawn from extensive clinical experience including a dedicated 'Healthy Weight Program' at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.
