Throughout the entirety of my childhood, I have always struggled dealing with my weight. Every year began with the resolution to lose weight yet ended each year with more. I jumped on every trendy diet and lasted about a week every single time. My love for food and my passion for cooking made it difficult to lose weight. I never hesitated reaching for a second plate if it tasted delicious. 

A FEW YEARS LATER…

Almost by fate, I ended up in university doing a degree in nutrition where my life was transformed. To this day, I am still unsure as to why I initially chose to do nutrition but after graduating, the benefits I’ve gained overshadowed my choice. From completing my degree, I obtained the knowledge that was able to change my toxic relationship with food. The foundations I laid resulted in me being able to lose weight that I struggled to lose for many years. 

POST-UNIVERSITY

Having found difficulty finding a graduate job in nutrition, I ventured off into the restaurant industry as a manager, where my degree withered in waste. Working in restaurants opens your perspectives on people’s eating habits and their food choices. Thoughts like this helped me get back into the world of nutrition 

HOW NUTRITECHT CAME TO BE

Studying nutrition during the global pandemic opened my eyes to how much misinformation was being spread throughout social media. This lit a fire in me to ensure that everything I share is evidence-based. Spreading awareness of nutrition with aims to use the knowledge of nutrition to transform lives. 

For this reason, Nutritecht was created as a way to help me share my continually-growing knowledge in nutrition in order to help others, like me, develop a healthy relationship with their diets. Moreover, I want to use this space to educate, relate and encourage those who want to see a change in their lives; there is no one-size fits all diet, so let us work together side by side in striving towards our goals.
