About Us
I am a registered dietitian in private practice since 2010. I run the Johannesburg south branch of Nutritional Solutions, the largest outpatient dietetic practice in South Africa.
My passion for food and nutrition has taken me through many purposeful paths in my career. I have a PhD in Dietetics, but my proudest achievement to date is being called mama by my dino-obsessed, monster trucking boys: Joshua (5 years old) and Daniel (almost 4 years old).
So, what can a dietitian do for you?
🍉 General healthy eating
🍽 Weight management e.g. weight loss, weight gain
🤰🏻Nutrition support before (fertility), during, and after pregnancy e.g. weight loss, breastfeeding
👶🏾 Introducing solids to your baby and toddler nutrition
💊 Managing diseases of lifestyle e.g. diabetes, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc
🏆 Sports nutrition for endurance and power athletes
🥦 Gut health e.g. IBS, diverticulitis, chronic constipation, lactose intolerance, etc
📑 Interpretation of genetic tests related to nutrition
Also, I've developed two online nutrition courses for moms. As moms, we all know that good nutrition is vital for our little ones. Starting solids is an exciting milestone for the family but can also bring about a lot of confusion and distress. Then comes the temper tantrum-filled toddler years where our once perfect eater is suddenly a very independent [read stubborn] toddler. That’s why I developed these two courses:
Oh So Simple Solids is an online introduction to your solids journey that includes all the things that a mama needs to get going (and make it fun and happy too). This course includes:
- 3 nutrition education videos
- A 6-week meal plan with recipes
- A kitchen checklist
- A First Food tracking chart
- Growth charts
Tiny Tummies is the toddler mom's step-by-step guide on how to keep her toddler's tiny tummy happy and healthy. This course includes:
- 4 nutrition education videos
- A portion size guide
- A healthy treats recipe pack
- A healthy eating space checklist
- Growth charts
Here's to making healthy happen for our families,
Monique
