Lately, I’m seeing more and more women feeling pressured to jump on the Ozempic bandwagon “because it works so fast”.

As a nutritionist and holistic wellness coach, I find this really worrying.

We’re being sold rapid, drug‑driven weight loss as “wellness”, while celebrities and influencers normalise looking suddenly stick‑thin as a health goal. That’s not just unrealistic – it’s a powerful trigger for body shame, comparison and disordered eating.

Ozempic was designed as a diabetes medication, not a casual beauty tool. And the side effects we don’t see on Instagram can include nausea, vomiting, gut issues, fatigue, gallbladder and pancreas problems, and potential long‑term risks that are still being studied.

In my latest article, I unpack:

* What Ozempic is (and isn’t)
* Why this trend is so tied to diet culture and body image
* Why “stick‑thin” is not the same as healthy
* Gentler, sustainable ways to approach weight and wellbeing

If you’ve been feeling confused or pressured about Ozempic, or you’re tired of diet culture 3.0, this one’s for you. Your body is not a trend – and you deserve a kinder, more sustainable path to health. Here is the link to the article.

Ozempic has become the latest “miracle” shortcut in the hunt for fast weight loss. Scroll through social media or celebrity news, and…

What is our Forty and Forward Program all about?

05/02/2026

A gentle invitation for women 40+

From 9–13 February, we will be hosting a FREE 5-Day Midlife Reset, created for women who want to slow down, reset, and reconnect with themselves, without pressure or perfection.

This is not a challenge.
It’s not about fixing your body or pushing harder.

It’s a gentle reset designed to help you:
• feel more grounded and steady
• support your energy and wellbeing in simple, realistic ways
• make small shifts that fit real life
• reconnect with yourself during midlife

Each day includes short, supportive guidance you can do in your own time.

If midlife feels heavier, louder, or more confusing than you expected, this space is for you.

Join us via the link below:

Feel free to share this with a woman who might need a softer start.

After almost two years of writing, doubting, editing, and rewriting, I am so happy to finally share that my book Eat Like You Matter is here. This book reflects the heart of what Ido at JK Wellness and Nutrition. Eat Like You Matter is not another diet book. It is a compassionate, approach to rebuilding trust with your body, stepping away from food guilt, and moving beyond the cycle of restriction and yo yo dieting. It brings together practical nutrition education with mindset work to support long term health, balance, and peace with food. The approach is plant based, but it is inclusive. You do not need to be plant based to benefit. The focus is on nourishment, awareness, and sustainable habits that respect your body and your life. I chose to self publish. Each copy is printed on demand and can be ordered from almost anywhere in the world. Twenty per cent of my royalties from every copy sold are donated to a Serbian orphanage that is very close to my heart, so this project also supports children in need. If you feel ready for a gentler, more supportive way with food, or if you know someone who would benefit from this message, you can find the book here:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my wonderful JK Wellness and Nutrition community.

If you are celebrating Christmas, I wish you a season filled with warmth, peace, and meaningful moments around the table.
If you are not celebrating Christmas, I wish you a beautiful festive season, a well deserved holiday, and time to slow down, breathe, and restore.

As we step into a new year, I invite you to let go of extremes, guilt, and pressure.
Health is not about perfection. It is about consistency, compassion, and learning to listen to your body with respect.

May the year ahead bring more energy, balance, and trust in your own inner wisdom.
Choose foods that nourish you, habits that support you, and thoughts that are kind to yourself.

Thank you for being here, for learning, growing, and choosing a more mindful approach to health and wellbeing.

With gratitude,
Jasna

🌿 Women who’ve lost children but never lost love
