Reading labels = power

Sugar isn’t just about diabetes — it affects your gut health, hormones, cravings and energy levels too.
The front of the package is marketing.
The label tells the truth.

Hidden sugar doesn’t always come from sweets.
Sometimes it’s hiding in foods we eat for our gut, hormones & energy.

When sugar sneaks in unnoticed, it can:
Disrupt gut bacteria balance
Trigger hormone swings (hello cravings & fatigue)
Cause blood sugar spikes - crashes - more hunger.

This doesn’t mean these foods are bad.
It means context, portions & pairing matter.

For better gut health, hormone balance & stable energy:
Look beyond the “healthy” label
Pair carbs with protein, fibre & fat
Choose awareness over restriction

We wrapped up the year with a creative twist - a pottery painting session in beautiful Stellenbosch!

From laughs to messy paintbrushes, it was the perfect way to celebrate an incredible year together.

So grateful for everything 2025 brought, and even more excited for what’s waiting in 2026. 💛

Here’s to growth, teamwork, and a bright year ahead!

Supervoedsel of gier? Die feite oor Spirulina!

Spirulina duik oral op - van smoothies tot aanvullings - maar hoe veel daarvan is wetenskap, en hoeveel is bemarking?

Donderdag om 13:25 sluit Valpré aan by Martelize Brink op RSG se Jonk-program om die harde feite oor Spirulina te deel: wat werk, wat nie, en waarvoor jy eerder jou geld moet spaar.

As jy nuuskierig is oor hierdie blougroen alga en of dit werklik ’n supervoedsel is, maak seker jy skakel in!

What if Type 2 diabetes didn’t have to be permanent?

Research like the DiRECT trial shows that remission is possible for almost half of individuals who follow a structured, evidence-based nutrition program.

When excess fat around the liver and pancreas is reduced, insulin starts working the way it should - and blood sugars can return to normal without medication.

The key pillars?
✨ A tailored, calorie-controlled plan
✨ Whole, nutrient-dense foods that stabilise glucose
✨ Consistency and lifestyle habits that keep the weight off

At Reset Health Dietitians, we focus on real metabolic change - not just symptom management.

Diabetes remission isn’t magic. It’s science, strategy, and the right support team behind you.

Critical Care Symposium 2025 – Cape Town Refresher

Carike had an inspiring, knowledge-rich day at this year’s symposium! She attended two incredible workshops that sharpened her clinical nutrition skills, and she’s excited to bring this learning back to her patients and practice.

1️⃣ Dietetics Workshop: Bioelectrical Impedance Assessment (BIA)

This practical, hands-on session focused on assessing body composition accurately to guide personalised nutrition care. She practised performing BIA, interpreting the results, and applying the data to real clinical scenarios.

Her key takeaways:
✔ How to conduct a BIA assessment with confidence
✔ Understanding what the numbers really mean
✔ Using body composition results to fine-tune nutrition support

A brilliant workshop that turned data into better clinical decision-making, exactly what modern dietetics is about.

2️⃣ ESPEN LLL Workshop – Approach to Parenteral Nutrition (PN)

Carike also attended an in-depth session on safe, effective and evidence-based parenteral nutrition. This workshop strengthened the practical skills needed when managing patients who depend on intravenous nutrition support.

What was covered:
✔ When PN is indicated
✔ Risks + benefits of different IV access options
✔ PN systems - their pros and limitations
✔ Compounding risks + pharmacist responsibilities
✔ Drug–PN compatibility (absolutely essential!)
✔ Monitoring protocols to prevent complications
✔ Using scientific evidence to guide PN decisions

A highlight of the day - emphasising how careful monitoring and thoughtful decision-making can optimise outcomes for complex patients.

Better knowledge = better patient care. 💚

Not all spaghetti is created equal… or is it?

When you compare Woolworths’ regular durum spaghetti, spaghettoni, organic spaghetti and even the premium Organic Khorasan Kamut variety, the nutrition panel barely changes.

Calories? Almost identical.
Carbs? A gram or two difference at most.
Protein and fibre? Practically the same across the board.

The biggest difference isn’t in the nutrition - it’s in the price tag. Premium grains and organic farming methods push the cost up, not the macro-nutrition.

So if your goal is balanced eating, blood sugar control or weight management, remember:

✨ Pasta shape doesn’t matter.
✨ “Organic” doesn’t mean lower calories.
✨ Fancy grains won’t magically cut carbs.

Choose the one you enjoy, fits your budget, and pair it with veggies, lean protein and healthy fats for the real nutritional win.

Not all mayonnaise is created equal - especially when you’re managing your blood sugar.

Calories, carbs and even hidden sugars can vary a lot between brands.

This carousel breaks down some of SA’s most popular mayonnaises so you can make an informed choice without guessing in the grocery aisle.

✨Important: “Lite” doesn’t always mean low-carb… and “reduced oil” isn’t always the lowest-calorie.

Always check the label - your body will thank you.
