With nutrition, my philosophy is simple. It’s about going back to basics and never eating anything your great grandmother doesn’t consider as food! In fact when I cook at home many of my dishes are hand-me down recipes from my grandma and the family. I don’t think cakes should be baked without sugar, butter or flour, yet I believe in moderation and portion control. Throughout my experience counseling, I’ve seen people struggling with their weight for years on end, on and off diets and in cycles of restriction and deprivation. I’ve also seen the detrimental effects of dieting on a person’s body, metabolism and overall mental wellbeing. People who have worked with me know that I don’t believe in diets rather I truly believe food is meant to be enjoyed and having a better relationship with food and our body are the key pillars in leading a healthier lifestyle.

I’ve been a registered dietitian for more than a decade now and throughout my career, I’ve worked in diet and wellness centers as well as launched two startups, a healthy food delivery App, and a nutrition consultancy called KeepEATreal. The entrepreneurial and start-up world for me, with all its challenges, is very exciting and where my passion truly lies.

Finally, I believe in seizing opportunities, taking risks, and pushing your limits outside your comfort zone.  I’m a big fan of the saying: If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives”.
