Hi everyone,
I will not be opening my practice just yet. With the second wave of COVID upon us, we made a decision to rather keep our kids home for a little while longer.

For any appointments please contact my new colleague Hanlie Jordaan. She will be taking over all clients until further notice.
She will be operating from my practice location.
Her website is www.sportsdietitian.co.za

And so, 2020 is coming to a close.
Please take note that my practice will be closed for the holidays from 19 December to 6 January 2021 at 8:00.

This was a difficult year for many people and everyone faced many challenges in their lives with the COVID pandemic. I want to thank every client for their ongoing support during this time and am looking forward to seeing you again next year to continue your health journey.

I am joining my practice with a fellow dietitian - Hanlie Jordaan - next year and will post a bit more about her later. I am very excited about the road ahead as she is also very committed to the field of sports nutrition and it’s going to be a privilege working with her.

Keep an eye out for her bio.

You can start booking your appointments for 2021.

With so much going on, on the internet it is so important to look for quality articles between all the craziness!! This is a great rough guide to spotting bad science!
As Dietitians we go through the science to provide practical evidence based meal plans to every client!
Speak to a dietitian to help clear up the fog! 💪🏻
Thank you ADSA for sharing!

Staying fit, strong and healthy throughout pregnancy is really important for mom and baby. With lockdown being in effect and not bring able to go to the gym my workout routine has been a bit different with this pregnancy.
I would have been swimming a few kilometers a day at this stage of my pregnancy but now... I have to run. Trying to workout on my trainer at home... well... that’s just not an option anymore! 🚴🏼‍♀️😉

I have adjusted my running to suit my growing belly which has worked really well!!
Diet wise I do fuel a bit more on running days to accommodate for the extra calorie needs during your second and third trimester which is about 300-400kCal extra per day. I enjoy adding extra diary and fruit on these days... and some chocolate! 😉

So, being 34 weeks pregnant and really having to get out and run. I did a 5km in gusting winds, hail, rain and it all ended with a bit of sunshine and freezing fingers!

Get out there, stay fit and eat healthy.
