Kos en medisyne werk nie apart in jou liggaam nie — hulle werk sáám.

Wat jy eet, wanneer jy eet, en selfs watter aanvullings jy neem, kan ’n invloed hê op hoe jou medisyne geabsorbeer, afgebreek en uitgeskei word.

Dit gaan nie net oor “moenie pomelosap drink nie” nie. Dit gaan oor die fyn balans tussen voeding en farmakologie — en hoe klein veranderinge soms ’n groot verskil kan maak aan jou behandeling.

Lees altyd die instruksies.

Wees konsekwent met jou eetgewoontes.

En vertel jou dokter of apteker van álles wat jy neem — ook vitamiene en kruieprodukte.

Kennis is krag — veral wanneer dit by jou gesondheid kom. 🤍

If effort alone fixed hormones,
you’d already feel better.

Most women I speak to aren’t “doing nothing.”
They’re doing everything — tracking, restricting, supplementing, researching.

But hormones don’t respond to effort.

They respond to the right signals —
energy availability, nutrient sufficiency, stress balance, metabolic health, and timing.

When advice is fragmented, results are inconsistent.
You don’t need more rules.
You need clarity.

If you’re tired of conflicting wellness noise and want science-backed guidance that actually makes sense, you’re in the right place 🤍

Save this for later — and follow along for evidence-based hormone and fertility education

Ouer word is onvermydelik. Swakker word is nie.

Ek het die voorreg gehad om op RSG se program Jonk saam met Johan Rademan te gesels oor waarom spiermassa só belangrik raak namate ons ouer word

Ons het gesels oor:
• Hoekom spierkrag ’n sterk voorspeller van gesondheid is
• Wat sarkopenie regtig beteken
• Die verband tussen spiermassa, onafhanklikheid en herstel
• En waarom dit nooit te laat is om te begin nie

As kliniese dieetkundige sien ek daagliks in die hospitaal hoe spiermassa herstel, funksie en lewenskwaliteit beïnvloed.

Health isn’t a checklist you complete.

It’s a rhythm you live in.

Yes — food and movement matter.

But so do your sleep, stress, hormones, habits, and the support around you.

Real health happens when we zoom out and look at the whole picture — not just one habit in isolation.

Sustainable. Individual. Human.

What part of your health needs a little more attention right now?

Trying to conceive isn’t just about timing —
it’s about hormone communication

These 3 hormones quietly run the show when it comes to:
• ovulation
• cycle regularity
• implantation
• early pregnancy support

And no — having a period doesn’t automatically mean everything is balanced.

If you’re TTC and feel like your body is sending mixed signals, this is your sign to stop guessing and start understanding

Apparently this is a thing now…

so here’s my dietitian life, illustrated.
ICU charts, TPN bags, supplements, and the radio mic — all rolled into one.

Evidence-based nutrition, but make it human.

💪 Spiermassa is nie net ’n gim-ding nie — dis ’n gesondheidsding.

Namate ons ouer word, verloor ons natuurlik spiermassa.

Dit beïnvloed nie net krag nie, maar ook balans, mobiliteit, metaboliese gesondheid en uiteindelik ons onafhanklikheid.

Op 12 Februarie om 13:25 gesels ek op RSG se program Jonk saam met Johan Rademan oor:
• hoekom spiermassa so belangrik is namate ons ouer word
• wat regtig agter spierverlies lê
• en hoe jy dit prakties kan beskerm

Some habits we label as “healthy” can quietly work against fertility —
especially when they’re done on repeat, without enough support or fuel.
This isn’t about blame.
And it’s definitely not about perfection.
It’s about understanding how stress, energy intake, sleep, training, and cycle health all send signals to your body — including whether reproduction feels like a priority.
If any of these made you pause, that’s information worth paying attention to.
Save this for later 🤍
And follow for evidence-based fertility and hormone education — without fear-mongering or extremes.

Veroorsaak voedsel-preserveermiddels regtig kanker?
Of is dit nog een van daardie gesondheidsmites wat harder skree as die wetenskap?
In môre se RSG JONK gesels ek saam met Martelize Brink oor: • Wat die navorsing wel sê
• Watter preserveermiddels mense die meeste bang maak (en hoekom)
• Wanneer bekommernis geregverdig is
• En hoekom konteks in voeding alles is
Geen sensasie. Geen bangmaakstories. Net feite — duidelik en verstaanbaar verduidelik.

Fertility isn’t built on hacks.
It’s built on foundations.
Not the supplement someone swears by.
Not a single blood test.
Not doing “everything right” on Instagram.
Real fertility nutrition comes down to: • adequate energy intake
• nutrient density
• ovulation awareness
• metabolic health
• intentional supplement use (when indicated)
This checklist isn’t about doing more.
It’s about focusing on what actually matters — for your body.
Save this. Revisit it.
And if fertility feels confusing or overwhelming, you’re not behind — you’re just missing personalised guidance.
