My passion for chronic conditions started when I lost my mom to Diabetes and Stroke after 1 ½ year of starting my career as a Dietician. I noticed that my mother did not understand the relationship between her food and the management of her condition. She loved mahewu and would drink a jug or more per day. Her sugars were so uncontrolled that she developed gangrene affecting her legs and doctors recommended that her leg needed to be amputated. She did not want to be amputated and was in so much pain.

My sisters took care of her since they lived together. What they went through, I would not wish on my enemy. The short time I had taken care of her when we were looking for a second opinion and a different approach to her treatment was very traumatic for me.  She did not have an appetite, her leg was smelling, and she was losing weight. She did not want to drink much of the supplements we sourced for her. We had other challenges with her admission to the hospital as at the time, the hospital in the area I lived in did not have beds. She was only admitted when I was in tears because I knew if we came back home with her I was in no position to help her or alleviate her pain.  She was crying daily due to severe pain and I could not bear it.

Seeing my mother deteriorate and know there was absolutely nothing we can do to help her was very painful. After her passing, I made it my mission to create as much awareness as I can on the role of nutrition in managing and or preventing chronic conditions of lifestyle. If I can help even one family not to go through what my family went through then my goal will be achieved.

I am a firm believer on prevention is better than trying to find a cure. We can help you simplify healthy eating to work for you.

As a registered dietician, my goal is to help you prevent chronic conditions and to help you manage existing conditions through a proven diet plan tailored for your needs.
